  1. This looks fantastic, but the Linux version of Ctrlr can't see my MIDI interface! Anyone else using Linux? As an alternative, I dug out my prehistoric iBook G4, only to run into the same problem as julienvoirin......:no:

    That looks fantastic!
  3. Thanks TK Updated my MB-6582. All seems well. I can't wait to have a play with the new editor!:ike:

    9090 - day 1

    Red PCBs? Nice.

    Thanks Antix. You need a 9090! Get the PCBs while you can as Trevor seems to think every batch will probably be the last...... gslug

    9090

    OK, so it isn't a MIDIbox yet, but I intend to add a Jef's sequencer so that it becomes an MB-9090. I pretty much forgot to take any photos during the build as I was too busy soldering. Here are a few pictures of the finished PCBs and their wonderful hideous cardboard base and panel. I intend to design a desktop case for it once I have the sequencer. Board 1 part finished - the only build photo I took. The completed board 1 The completed board 2 The cardboard "case" And finally, a bad video of the 9090. I'll have to do a better one (and work out how to embed youtube videos!) gslug
  7. Is putting together a parts order for his next build.

      Ohh, the best phase except for all resistors and caps... The rest is just work until it's done.

      Parts arrived and it I messed up and ordered one wrong pot. Need to think of something else to buy to make the Farnell minimum order......

      Want to build now. Have parts but lacking in the PCB department. "Delivery failed due to lack of time" on Friday - so why didn't they even bother trying today?

  8. is listening to the musical sound of 4 hard disks churning away as his RAID array resyncs...

      Array rebuilds are slow. Where's my 10TB SSD for 1000€ or less?

    2. gslug

      gslug

      It took 24 hours and yup, SSDs are still way too expensive.

    OPL

    Pulled or new old stock? An FM is on my to do list eventually...
  10. has finally finished wiring up the pots on his 9090. It all works!

      Thanks. Took longer than planned - I did board 1 a few weeks ago, but the crimping got to me after a while. Board 2 seemed a lot quicker.

      I'll try to do a video in the next few days. Be warned that the 9090's "case" is somewhat crude....

      Ha. Ha. Gotta love a bit of John Foxx.

  12. Excellent news about the bulk order! Haven't had much chance to test my 9090 - I still need to wire up the pots to board 2, but the voices on board 1 are fine. I intended to finish the wiring last week, but ended up building a x0xb0x instead.....
  13. Very cool. Finished my 9090 PCBs and need to build this seq. Are you planning a bulk order?
  14. has just finished building a x0xb0x. Quick and easy compared to the 9090.

      Yay! Congrats on the completion of a fun instrument!

      Just need to borrow a 'scope to tune it now.

      In today's vernacular: It's sexy and you know it.

      You know you wanna. Modular fun is the next level on the analogue learning curve.

    3. gslug

      gslug

      It has to be done, though may be a while off. I have to finish the 9090 and build a x0xb0x first. Oh and actually record something.....

      Your modular looks amazing BTW.

      Ooh, thanks! Still some struggles with the front panel wiring, then - music!

  16. wants a hardware sampler.....

      E-mu esynth rules the roost unless you score an Akai 6000 or z8...

      Quite like the idea of an Ensoniq EPS+

      Ahh. That oldie but goodie... ASR-10/X is nice and cheap otherwise.

  17. gslug

    Fully stuffed

    Nice.:sorcerer: Mine still needs another 4 SIDs, about 6 months after I built it. May I ask where you got those heatsinks from?
  18. Is going insane bending the leads on 9090 transistors.

      Do you have the japanese ones?

    3. gslug

      SC2603s and SA1115s yes. I don't have the 2SA798 matched pairs though.

    4. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      The 798s aren't really necessary. Just do a quick n dirty Gm matching of the regular alternative transistors :D

  19. I'd say that it looks significantly worse than the mockup :sick: Kevin

    8x SID 8580

    Mmmmm! SIDs.:thumbsup:

    cd_reloaded: Thanks for designing it!
  22. is soldering the power supply section of a 9090.

      Don't think I have messed anything up yet, but sure I will. On to the snare....

      Took a while to get that. Half asleep.

  23. Just collected my box-o-bits.:happy: Thanks again Jef! Kevin
