Quote: | I've just done a quick Google search and it appears that Tyco have a range of dual gang sliders from 30mm to to 75mm which RS Components stock (so this should make them available just about anywhere).
Not cheap, at about 7GBP each, but at least they're not unobtanium. A group-buy might not be a bad idea if people want to follow the slider route. |
Do you have an RS part number? Had a look on RS site and can't find any dual gang sliders..........

Playing with tiny potentiometers and aligator clips instead of a switch ... Sound comes from the OB-8, and these is some reverb.
Mainly checking if everything works as intended ... for a *good* demo, lisen to Kenneth Elhardt's demo on youtube:

Very nice Jurgen,
I confess that I'm surprised by the size of the PCB. Especially as I was hoping to put it behind a Euro panel.
It's too cool a project to worry about that though so a separate case will be in order or a very big Euro panel which will allow for long travel sliders
Looking forward to it. |

Resonator Section of Polymoog ... Subject description: Panel design |
|

Wow - another module design that I'll have to build. Put me in for one PCB ... and I only have 1U of space left!
I used the Will (and Bill) layout design from ModularSynthPanels and did a 2U version with small knobs and additional inputs and attenuators. I have three panel designs on my web site.

Boards are ordered from the factory.
I approached the "critical mass" of pre-orders and had the production started yesterday. There will be enough boards for everyone. But if you haven't sent a pre-order by email yet, please do. That will assure you to be part of the first wave of shipping when the boards are here, in a couple of weeks.

Re: Resonator Section of Polymoog ... Subject description: Panel design |

I tried to sign up for the ModularSynthPanels group (I used to be a member), but it looks like it's going to take a human on the other side to approve me, whenever that might be.
But I'm wondering if these Polymoog resonator panels are going to be available for purchase by other people. And I'm seeing some things that aren't of the best design or adding more than is needed. There should be a simple bypass switch as opposed to two knobs (one for wet/dry mix and one for resonator level). And the BN setting isn't really needed and is just one more position one needs to switch through. It's also not the kind of module that needs multiple inputs / mixer either. It's the kind of thing that processes a sound that's already mostly finished, as opposed to processing each osc exactly the same way. That's just a lot of unnecessary knob setting and cable use. And normally the two filter characteristics are put together (frequency and resonance) and then the gain comes after that. That's how the Polymoog resonator is organized. There just too much extra that's not needed in that panel design that just adds extra cost, complexity and extra custom circuitry needed.
And yet, the place where you might want to expand beyond the original Polymoog resonator design, is to have access to all 3 hi-pass, band-pass, and low-pass filters on 9 separate output jacks, in addition to the switched output that's already there. That way you could for example, use one lowpass and two bandpass filters for a patch.

Re: Resonator Section of Polymoog ... Subject description: Panel design |

I'm terribly behind of what I wanted to do, with my dear littly baby girl in the house and all, and for some reason the Resonator PCBs will be ready before the Flanger PCBs, and so there is barely any documentation from my side yet.
Ken is right about the multiple inputs and the bypass switch, IMO. I would never build an FX box without a hard bypass switch!
I think the "BN" mode is very valuable, though. Not for synthesis experts like Ken, maybe, who have a stuctured way to form a certain sound. But for guys like me, who often just play with the potentiometers, without aiming for certain frequencies of Q factor numbers, the BN mode is really nice. Because, if you have a certain sound in BP mode, and you think it's too "heavy", you can switch to BN mode, get (almost) the same resonance peaks, but the whole sound "thinned out" somehow by the notches between the peaks.
About front panel designs: Is anybody working on a Schaeffer layout for sliders? it would be nice to have a template that works with commonly available slider pots. I have zero time to evaluate that myself: what sliders are good, how to mount them behind a front panel, etc. So if anybody wants to do the DIY community a favor, here's the opportunity to do some research and front panel design work.
I think these Moog slider knobs look beautiful, too! Hard to get something similar today, I guess?
Oh, and bringing out individual HP BP and LP outputs: That would need some extra buffer stages with gain, because of the unique structure of the filters in there. It has been said that these are just ordinary State Variable Filters, and that is certainly right, at least at the first glance. But there is a difference: The signal level within the filter stucture is distributed unevenly. Speaking of an individual filter: The LP output has a much higher Level than than the HP output. Why? The LP fuction needs the best SNR, and the HP function is most sensitive to slew rate distortion, which occurs at higher levels.
This may or may not be an anacronism, but I have taken care to preserve that design philosophy in all detail, to allow the exact same behaviour as the original, when using the same opamps - for better or worse. But that would mean extra amplification for the individual HP and BP functions, when brought out. (In the overall Resonator funtion, this is taken care of in the summing stage, so you have the same level in all modes.)
It's possible to use the PCB for an ordinary State Variable design instead, of course. It's just one resistor per filter that would have to be changed (along with using modern opamps, and with changing the summing resistor values). Then bringing out individual stages is no problem. But that's not an original Polymoog Resonator anymore then.

Regarding a layout with faders, this is what someone on the Modular Panels yahoo group said regarding an MOTM panel with sliders versus rotary pots - interesting to hear any other feedback on this here:
After second thought, I don't think faders would not work very well
for this circuit (with an MOTM layout). I have a Polymoog and was
looking at the resonator section trying to figure out a way to make
those faders fit (vertically) within an MOTM panel and it's not good.
The fader layout on the Polymoog works well because the faders are all
in a horizontal row, and not very tall. If you try to make them fit
into an MOTM panel, you'd have a very wide panel with lots of blank
space. Or you could break the faders up into groups and make two rows,
but I don't think that looks very good. I suppose you could do
horizontal faders, but then that's not sticking to the "tribute
module" that I was hoping to achieve. |

Ah - the beauty of DIY. Each can build a panel to suit their needs. This would take 9 additional op amp buffers. It's a lot of additional circuitry but it will fit on a 2U panel.

Interesting!
Thanks for the pointer - seems to be a good source for replacement parts!
But there are no sliders to match, are there?
I mean, would these knobs fit on any Alps or Bourns or whatever sliders are currently available?

i Have no idea Juergen,u will need to buy a sample to test that.
Btw u don't need to buy the offered kit,u can mail the guy asking for specific part and buy them off-ebay |

Anyone got any other leads on a 10K lin dual slide pot which might be compatible with the technologytransplant slider caps?? |
