MissionBrown Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks Mike, Looks like I'm going back to jaycar to get another rectifier. Everything else is in place, so no biggie. Like I mentioned that I'd not used regulators before, this is also my first project with a rectifier in it. Learning, learning.

nILS Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Rectifiers are usually a really nice thing to use, even if you don't always _need_ them. No need to worry about polarity ("hmm, was that tip positive or tip negative?" , pretty much any AC or DC wallwart will do ("dammit I only have AC wallwarts around"), ...

MissionBrown Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks nILS, I always had the impression that they caused weird stuff to happen with dc-dc conversion. But since you kindly folk assure me it prevents meltdown(electronic and mental) I'll have this sucker working by 8pm tonight :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionBrown Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ok, 8pm was a bit of an over confident statement. But 8:35pm was the ticket. Got held up by dinner, red wine and USA Wipeout(that show cracks me up!). Anyway, put in the rectifier, fired the synth up and I have a freaking perfect piece of hardware! Also I embarrassed myself by doing a happy dance and some terrible white guy hip hop "I fixed the synth" umm... singing. er rap. Either way I've been forbidden from doing an encore. :whistle: Noise free demo to come tomorrow. So, once again. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissionBrown Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I only just realised, I can switch between option (A) and (D) with this configuration. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionBrown Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hi guys, a few days late. The attached sample is at nominal values, 0 trim on the inputs and at unity gain on the faders. I recorded through a Mackie 1604(mid 90's), delta 1010 into reaper. Each voice is played on the recording, along with silence and silence with the feedback pot turned up. I noticed a wee bit of noise on voice 3, but have a lot of stuff hooked up and the house has severe EM problems(playing guitar in here sucks). Thanks for all of your help. Now to see if I can finish some other outstanding projects(including making some music). This thing sounds waaaaay bigger than my Juno 60 :)no_noise.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
