EDIT: Something messed up my post, so I'll have to rewrite it:

I incorporated basically all controls to my frequency shifter.
Being somewhat broke I used this box from an old air conditioner/control unit, which serves it purpose quite well. Perhaps it needs a new paint job, though. Laughing

Hope this photo helps a bit at least.

With my unlimited moderator powers I accidentally messed up Softfin's message while trying to reply to it.

I'm sorry

Hello Jürgen,


I like to have the mic Gainstage, but i will use the FS-1A mostly with modularsynth signals.
how should i setup input1 to have both ? ( the aux input is preserved for the Feedbackpath. seems to be very useful ).

Add two 22k resistors between the input jack and the board input.
Compare http://www.jhaible.de/fs1a/jh_fs1a_schematics_board_2.pdf with the input of my old Frequency Shifter: http://www.jhaible.de/tonline_stuff/hjfs5_ia.gif and you get the idea.

The old one didn't have a Gain pot; it hat a 3-pole, 4-position rotary switch instead. In two of the four positions, the 22k resistors are in the circuit, like a "Pad" function in a mixing console. Of course you can combine that Pad function with a gain potentiometer, or just build the input circuit from the old FS-1.

Or you can omit the whole SSM Preamp and use the two pins (GND and middle pin) of the "Mic Level" board connector as a second High-Level input. Look at http://www.jhaible.de/fs1a/jh_fs1a_schematics_board_2.pdf - it's the same as the AUX input, after that connector!

JH.

ahh , i was not aware that this is "only" a Levelshift.
Thanks Jürgen

In Feedback mode, which output is for Deep mode, sum or diff ?


( i like to have the FB switch matching with the Sum and diff outs )

Doesn't matter. Both change their function when the modulation oscillator runs backwards. And both sound interesting!

sorry, the question was anyway put wrong. total confusion, but i got it:

1. i make SUM and Diff outs. I like to have the position of the switch matching with the sockets.
Which out relates to which position in normal ( positiv) mode ? Sum = up ?




2. Modcan has a Feedback output on his module.
would it make sense to make a Feedback output ? ( i'm now very short in space, but maybe i could manage it to plöace another socket )

Sum is *down* - when the Oscillator runs "forward", i.e. sin is sin and cos is cos.
Sum is *up* - when the Oscillator runs "backwards", i.e. sin is -sin and cos is still cos.

HELP!

My FS-1a is not working as expected. I could need some help ( or somebody in Europe i can ship my FS1a to debug/fix it).

Problem (when doing calibration):
Step1 works
Step2 fails.

Any ideas / testing helps ? I do got a dual Channel Oscilloscope as well as a Voltmeter (and of course soldering stuff) ?

Any help greatly appreciated!

R9 on main Board:

is this 39K or 43K ?


on the PCB is written 43K.
on the overlay it is written 39K.
On the schematic 43K.


ok i guess 43K is right

Trimmer R127,
I soldered it in reverse according to the layout,
can i leave it ?

( guess it just changes the direction in which to turn, right ? )

I'm allready in progress of wiring the module.
I have two Jacks for each output.
Usually i solder a bridge instead of the Outresistor to the PCB ( respectivly have to desolder the outresistor... Embarassed )
putting then the outresistors directly to the jacks.

I'm not shure what i should do on this Board.
As the outresistors are 620R, i thought i maybe just could add another outresistor with 330R to each outjack to decouple those.
Or would it be an Idea to replace the 620R with a 330R and then add the mentioned 330R per outjack ?
( this way i have no blank bridge, but i'm not shure if 330R is enough to decouple the dual-ouitjacks from each other )

and thanks for all the previous help.

You can switch the cw and ccw end of a trimmer, as long as you keep the middle pin where it belongs.

Output resistors: These are merely there to prevent the opamps from oscillation due to capacitive load. If you use short, *unshielded* wire from the board to the jacks, you can place 620R directly at each jack.

I have 12cm wire. dual wire with ground going "around" the signal ( like a old telephone cable.
I kept the 620R on Board and added a 330R to each outjack.
Hope thats ok.
Thanks again Jürgen !

Beeing in "calibrationmode" allready:
( finished wiring yesterday )

Calibration step 1 was not good.
Turning R28 Osc Level Balance changes the Osc Level of both waveforms ( same levelshift ). One Wave has less level.
The one Waveform with less Level has a nice sine allready.
It seemed that later calibration did not changed anything to this sinewave.


I went thru till step5 then and found now out that U6( TL071 near Tempco) is becoming very Hot.
Too hot to keep a finger on it long.
Guess there's something wrong Embarassed




( i checked all IC Pins( sockets) with a Voltmeter before putting the ICs in, but doe to having Voltages on many Pins on board1,
i could not see if something is wrong.
It looked somewhat logic as some ICs were same as others )
( checked also the Board by Eye with a Halogenlamp )

ok, U6 had a TL 072 in there.
now it's the question how big the risk is that this caused other damage.

I checked all the ICs after putting them in btw. but Embarassed
i'll see...

If supply voltages are still ok everywhere, it's likely that just hat single chip was damaged.

I went thru calibration inclouding step 5
At step 5 i got 3V out for the comp output. Trimmer is in endposition.


Not measured any Frequenzys, so i could have been aside.
( The calibratioon was also more meant to to be able to see if the module works. )

so far the 3V cmp-out seem to be the only Problem.
