An noisy noise annoys an oyster.

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.

Cheers

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"), ...

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 :)

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!

[nILS]

Glad you got it working (againish)

I only just realised, I can switch between option (A) and (D) with this configuration.

Sweet!

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 :)
