Sebo, the white noise circuit had a transistor on the schematic with the pins connected incorrectly. I resoldered it with B to ground and C open (like in the TR-808 service manual) and it now works. Woohoo! It's when things go wrong that you learn the most, you know.

Great you get it working!!! _________________ Sebo

Wowsers, didn't realize there would be such an enthusiastic response!
As soon as I finish this batch of MB-808 kits, I'll finish the voice circuits. I already have a set of boards laid out that is similar to Trev's 9090, that is to say, no sequencer, just voices. It won't be too much more work to split each circuit out individually.
I know I'm opening up a pandora's box, but what form factor should I use on the individual circuit boards? _________________ Once you start down the modular path, forever will it dominate your destiny!

Heehee! Yeah, true enough...!
Things are getting a bit better though. My daughter is in Flagstaff now going to school. She and her boyfriend apparently broke up ("You seem like a nice guy. What are you doing with my daughter?"), so we're not sure where she is living now, but at least she hasn't asked me to rescue her yet. (And I'm still amazed that after the bad behavior of the last three years I'm not a grandpa!) My mom is now healed up and living back at her place. I was in a crash about three weeks ago and my ribs are still sore, but at least I can now put my elbow up on the table and support the arm well enough to solder again. I'm soldering together the second prototype of the new MB-808 design, so I'm hoping that will be done soon too. I took over payments on the eight-oh-eight web site, so I don't think we will go offline again. I have a three week business trip coming up at the end of September, so that will probably get in the way of just about everything including Different Skies. No booze for almost three years now. That's it in a nutshell...

Hey Doug - I hope life gets better for you from now - that stuff sounds like it was pretty heavy.....
Must 'fess up - I have a MB808 board in the build backlog, but what I *really* want is something like the 9090 (i.e. no sequencer, and either trigger or MIDI controlled modules) but for a 808 clone type thang.
IMO, if splitting the board(s) up, the Kick, Snare, Hi-hat and maybe Clap are the meat and potatoes, the Toms are the sauce, and the others are the garnish...
just my 2 -pence worth.....
cheers,

Yeah, sigh. And that was just the nutshell. In the last year, there were three deaths in the family, my mom fell and broke her arm, my daughter racked up $11,000 in medical bills, etc. You know, just the normal every day family stuff. On top of that, they told me there was a 27 week back order on some of the MB-808 parts, but it actually took almost a year, and when I tried to upgrade the 808 forum, it backfired and corrupted the database and then wouldn't restore the backup I had.
Anyway, things are way better now!!!

When I decided to make the 9090 version of the MB-808, I laid out a pcb for just the sequencer to go with the 9090 voice boards. Then I figured it would be easier for long term maintenance if I converted the MB-808 to something similar, so I separated the voice circuits out of that. At the moment, the 808 voice board just has headers for the triggers. There is no MIDI-CV on it at all. That's not a problem if you use the MB-808 sequencer or if you have some way of providing both trigger and accent voltages... _________________ Once you start down the modular path, forever will it dominate your destiny!

With all due respect to all involved, why revise new pcbs when xlarge seems to have done all the work already?
Im very tempted by at least 2 of the 3 larger boards, not too bothered about the toms, and was thinking of getting them made up as one offs from the PDFs on the xlarge site.
Someone could potentially just run a group buy, im a bit broke to consider this right now, unless im missng something?

That would be absolutely awesome! I´m very happy with my 9090 for years now and I have always been dreaming of a 8080 next to it in my drumrack.
Pleeeeaaaase do it!

ah! pcb offerings right when i start my perfboard layout! good thing i'm only working on a dual 808 kick.
now i have an issue of where to find TL072P IC's or an equivalent replacement...
i do see some things that look close on mouser, but unsure, anyone know where the culprit can be had?
... and yes i would be interested in a set of PCB voice offerings... or a pair of the same... Wesley.
currently, this is my best guess - http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=TL072ACPvirtualkey59500000virtualkey595-TL072ACP _________________ use your favorite search engine to find more from - Wizards of Zen Last edited by wizardsofzen on Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:13 am; edited 1 time in total |

tl072's are very common, im surprised you cant find them. tl082's also work in their place, as do many other dual op amps. i have also used ca3240's in place of 072's. look harder |

I think 4558 opamps are better in the 808... _________________ Once you start down the modular path, forever will it dominate your destiny!

I haven't used the Rohm version myself, but it's probably fine. JRC4558 chips are 30 cents each at Futurlec though... _________________ Once you start down the modular path, forever will it dominate your destiny!

Hmmm,
Yes, yes yes! I'm not fussed about the board size, going to do a MU drum module collection I feel!!!
I'm sure there is some jiggling to get the best value at the fab houses. Some of them seem to give pretty good rates these days if you aren't in a hurry.
Looking forward to developments.
