The PCBs will be available from the electro-music shopfront once we've completed testing of the prototypes. Which will be in about 2-3 weeks. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Forgive me, I know this may have been covered before. So there is no reserved list? It's first come first served I suppose? I know that I wanted 8 boards, I had really just asked in private mails, but I really just have to be quick about purchasing them from the store?
Thanks

I don't know what the situations are... But just to maybe make Andy's comment clearer -- we'll be testing for the next 2-3 weeks and then the PCBs have gotta be ordered and then got to Mosc for the EM store.
Oh, here's a couple of pics too:::
-- getting on with building the prototypes - should get to sounds before too long. Once I'm a bit further down the line I'll put up the .fpd file and other docs I've gotten together on it.. I'm still amazed that all this can be fit into 3 Frac width!

Very nice !! Would love to get the .fpd file. I would most likely add 1/4" jacks in place of banana jacks. I would have to see just how much room for my fingers there would be. Good work Tom !
It sounds like I will just have to be quick on the draw when the boards come out.

I've got one of the prototypes up and running - still got to do some more investigations, but thought I'd post up some pics & details.
It is GREAT fun to play with - the scope of sounds is really fantastic! The Shell section, in particular, is very powerful - with the RingMod plus Cross-Mod from the Impact you can get some freaking amazing sounds out! I measured the freq range of the Shell section -- 27Hz to almost 19kHZ (which I can actually still hear - just!).
Still some more checking to do - and need to do some more playing! Shall do my best to record some demo sounds too....
But, right now, here's the FrontDesigner panel file and a document to help with the (pretty involved) wiring -- gotta say that it was a squeeze to fit everything into 3-frac-width, but you know I like things compact.
A couple of notes --
Switches -- the Cross-Mod is optional (but recommended) - I used one of those OnOnOn switches because I'm a banana-man but people with switching jacks could do some Normalisation here.
For the Trigger Mode I used a DPDT C/O switch to allow for the Trig to be switched off -- but, once I did the initial tests I realised I'd made a booboo and the Centre/Off position left the input comparator floating -- oooops - still gotta check this with TH, but my solution was the simple addition of a 10M pull-up resistor.
Hmmm, all this will become clearer / more use once the pcbs become available!

I've long suspected Bugs was Jeff Beck just posing as Tom Bugs.
Great song, Tom!
I'll compare readings w/the breadboard this weekend.
Cheerio,

It's quite extraordinary what sounds Jeff beck can squeeze out of his guitar just using his fingers and a Rat Distortion, that I suppose manufactures might spend considerable sums of money trying to emulate electronically! |

Maybe Tom Bugs is Jeff Beck and he's just dreaming that he's Tom Bugs!

More playing to be done!! |
Hey Bugs !!
Love the sample you put up ! I played it loud These samples really give you perspective of what a module can do ! Thanks for that ! I really like this module that Thomas Henry designed VERY much and it really is a rare breed !
Oh, thanks for the Front Designer file and the "Frac" form factor which is exactly where I decided to load these bad boys, in my new "Frac" cages . I have this program and like it. You saved me some work there man !

Cool! & very happy to be able to help a little.
You're certainly gonna need a few Frac cases - you're going for 8 modules if I remember right! (enjoy the wiring!)
By the way, I'd forgotten to mention that my layout depends on using 16mm Alpha pots (or something of similar size) - being so tight, any bigger won't fit and I did have to bend all the legs up through 90degrees (actually makes it easier to make connections anyway).
A battery of 8 of these modules would be truly awesome! (though I'm sure I'll be perfectly happy just with two!) _________________ http://www.bugbrand.co.uk

Yes, eight is correct. Good memory I like to barter things so I will only build a "FRAC" rack with four or five. I already bartered one of the MPS boards and parts kit for two power supplies from Danno-G and was happy to do that

OK cool. I have a bunch of these smaller potentiometers with the 6MM shafts and I have lots of 6MM knobs as well. I am set dude !!

Yes, I am sure five or even four would suffice but I have always been on the obsessive side so I immediately wanted eight
Thanks,
