moogah Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Aha! Time time draws near, I've got a set of beta PCB's arriving tommorow which I will do my best to stuff and solder this weekend. Barring unforseen problems with the layout I am on schedule to do a run of PCB's in mid-late August. I will be providing with the PCB nearly all the difficult to find components, including alot of the original sillicon. There is also a fellow who has been working hard to create a REALLY REALLY nice case for the clone, details to come. If your interested in building your own 808 send me an email at smeffasystems@gmail.com to get on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0nsumer Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Do you have more info about these PCBs? As in, how things will be triggered, types of controls, etc?Thanks...-Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogah Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 The original circuits have been included, and I've also added in most of the modifications that hallucinogen did for his clone. The sounds will be triggered from a stripped down MBSEQ, which is included in the PCB, some extra code still needs to be written to allow the sounds to be triggered via midi.

So you've got permission from TK to include MIOS in something you are selling? Congrats.Got any more info about the board layout, dimensions, anything like that? I'm interested, but I want more details first...-Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c0nsumer Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 What about programming the sounds via MIDI?This is a clone of an analog synth. Making the sounds programmable via MIDI would be an amazing amount of work, and thusly make it no longer a proper clone.-Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 This is a clone of an analog synth.TR808's are analog?! :P hehehheI know all that stuff... But I was just hoping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Actually, it's remarkably easy to put some parameters such as TUNE or DECAY under CV control using just a resistor and a transistor. How you'd interface the CV to the sequencer I don't know, I guess you could have an 'Automation' track or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogah Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Way back when.. I was going to try to make the whole 808 VC'd.. but damn that is one serious task, better to start small I figured. The board dimensions are 11x16". Huge really ;DAh, nifty. So you've got permission from TK to include MIOS in something you are selling? Congrats.Y'Know, that just reminded me that I have to get some more approval pertaining to the SEQ section before I do a run.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictv101 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 hii m also trying to make a clone of the 808i want to build eatch sound separatly on a pcb like Hallu.and build a sequencer. i gona use a R8c/13 µC From Rensas actualy i ve done only the basscick pcb and the switch board and i m working on the serial shiftregister, first time that i do a such complex work.i also simulate all sound modul with ElectronicWorkbench That is work pretty well for Thatmaby it would Be great to cooperate.

stryd_one Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi toxic... What's the aim of your project? It sounds like "re-inventing the wheel" to me... You're doing synth layouts like hallucinogens, and building a sequencer from the ground up....So why not just use hallucinogen's synths and a MBSeq?

MRE Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 right so..all that really matters is: so what's the kit price? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictv101 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 yheap you re probably right!i ll do like this finally But i wanted to understand how work the famous TwinT Filterand see it in work by my eyes ::)i just hope that there is no error in his pcbbecause without the schems it s not easy to understand:pbut i think now , i would be able to do it with all the lecons of electronic that ive folow.i ll finish this , and find a other think, maby for my end of study work....i ll send this 808x clone's picture here latersee you soon :) ...

toxictv101 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 i would need a config. that alow a less 16 pulse output in 15voltcontroled by a sequencer with synch24, din modul for step prog. etc ...is anybody have a sugestions for this , it would be welcom ???i m minding on this problem...

moogah Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've got all these problems solved. Details to come, the solutions are pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictv101 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 so great!!!can't wait to see the plan :oit would be great to get more than 16 trig/Gate out to control also external fx, DrumSynth etc ...if u can send me info on Galactikexplorer@hotmail.comTks ...

Sebo Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi:I'm interested in a set of PCBs. I'll send you a mail.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBunsen Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Count me as interested too. I'd need to hear a price first of course.Also, would it be possible to tap off the triggers from your board to trigger external analogue modules? I mean by the builder. What's the trigger voltage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogah Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Trigger voltages are 5v. The 808 itself uses a 5-15v pulse for the accent signal. I don't have anything to test with, but it is my assumption that you can just tap the 5v pulse for trigger. I've got a header on the board for doing this, and there is a simple buffer there to drive a LED which I'm pretty sure can do double duty. Check out the WIKI page, I've got a description of how it all works there.. just text tho so it may be rough to read.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxictv101 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 hey ,Can u say what u use for trig the sound ?i mean witch module ?what is your mb configuration and what are the requiere change to the prog.Tks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattias Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 You dont have to sell the SEQ app just make it Avail as open source here on ucapps! There is a analog drum module DS7 or DS8 available here http://m.bareille.free.fr/ds7clone/ds7.htm. It runs on 5v and would be a nice alternative for a simple MIDIBOX drummachine. I think it sounds rather cool to. Just imagine a few of those and a TR style sequenser.Got news on that 808 case?My next MIDIBOX is going to a drummachine if I´m not getting a jomox 09!Price info please, on the 808 kit i was planing to get the 9090 kit it would be easy to trigger it from an MBSEQ. But that solution would be rather expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogah Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Between work and school work has slowed down on the 808 quite a bit. I did get a few hours of work done yesterday tho. Depending on how late class goes tonight I think I can finally get some .mp3 samples out so people can hear what it sounds like.The case is coming along, Mr. Lowell has done a very good job in emulating the original look and feel of the 808 ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sounds like it's really coming along! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
