re. rebote: stick a vactrol between the 50k delay time pot and the 1k resistor that goes to pin 6 of the ic. do the same between the repetition pot and the 33k resistor and bob's your uncle.

this will expedite the process:

Yes, that will be easy. I was thinking using transistor like the circuit posted in this thread.

Hi guys,

thanks for reply.

The vactrol-idea sounds good! I think I´ll give it a try.

What type of vactrols should be used? Same as on Thomas White 292 lowpass-gate?

Cheers
Greg

I suggest something fast like a vtl5c3/2.

That´s what I had in mind,thanks.

Btw. : The Bridechamber link is great!

Just got done perf boarding this circuit from Scott's original schem. Used a vtl5c1 and it works great! Thanks for the circuit Scott!

PostPosted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 5:12 am    Post subject: Feedback Problem Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

Hello there,

I built the Delay by using 221’s Layout. But the problem is, that there won’t be any Feedback, and the Delay time is very limited.
All I get is a single, short repeat.

Sound Sample:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37021051/delay%20sample.mp3

I checked every Resistor, found one where i soldered a 27k instead of 2.7k and fixed that.
The Wiring should be okay, too.

I replaced the Free Resistor by a 10k Trimmer and can slightly change the length of the Delay. The 100k Trimmer is used for setting the CV input, right?

If I connect the Mix Pot like it used to be in the old Layout I get some kind of Lo-Fi Feedback, which won’t stop. But the Feedback Poti still has no effect!

Any Ideas what’s wrong? As far as I understood several people where able to build it from 221’s Layout, So there shouldn’t be any Faults in the Schematic / Layout!?

And does any one here has the Old Layout/Schematic from Scott Bernardi? Because his website went offline, and i can't find it anywhere.


Hope for fixing this soon (It's part of a Yusynth Modular, and only two Modules are missing...)!

Thanks,
JE

Hi:
Check that the BC560 is OK at the right top of the PCB (and notice that isn't a BC550 like the other one).
Also check that the LM3080 is OK (if you have another one swap it).

Wilkommen!

The .pdf of the schematic is attached, and here's the text from the site;

Quote:
Voltage Controlled Echo/Delay

This module uses the PT2399 digital echo chip from Princeton Electronics. Small Bear Electronics has them for $3.95. The circuit is based on the Surround Sound/Delay example in the datasheet.

The delay time is variable from about 33mSec to 300mSec by varying a resistance. The datasheet specs a maximum 300mSec delay at 1% distortion, but I found I could go to about 2 seconds with acceptable results.

I implemented voltage control by using an LDR (yellow LED and CDS photoresistor) for the resistive element. A true vactrol could also be used. You want the resistance to vary from as low as possible (for short delays) up to about 100K. Some experimentation will have to be done with the driving current levels for the LED. Make sure the the LED - photoresistor assembly is in a light tight container, since ambient light will have an affect at the low light / high resistance / long delay end.


Hope this helps Smile

Cheers,
Dave

Just note that the schematic posted before uses a vactrol and isn't the one that matches the PCB posted at the begining of the thread.
If you look at middle of page 2 of this thread you will find the corresponding schematic posted by 211.

Okay this week I spend some time with testing again, but i didn't find any faults. The BC560C is alright. Maybe the CA3080E is broken, but since it's very expensive i don't think that I'm going to buy another one.
It sounds like only the High Frequencies are affected by the Feedback!

This is the last module of a modular synth and maybe i just put a 1U Digital Delay inside and use the spare 1U for something else ... But before this i'll do a final testing session.

Greetings,
JE

Try bypassing the VCA portion of the feedback path. Just use a pot to control the feedback directly (no CV). Just to see if the 3080 is the problem.
To do it get the signal at the Delayed Output, wire it to one extreme lug of a pot (50K - 100K), wire the other extreme lug to ground, and wire the middle lug to the second audio input of the filter.
If feedback works OK, you have to check everything in the feedback path again.

no vactrols which is nice

I really don't know what you mean. The schematic at that site isn't simpler, just incomplete, as it lacks feedback, input adder, mix control, etc.
I think is an unfinished idea. It should work, but not a really useful circuit without the before mentioned parts (at least the feedback one).
Also the circuit posted in this thread didn't use a vactrol either.

Thank you Sebo!
I think I will have time to try this and to read through the schematic again next week. Than I will report about the Progress.

Paradigm X:
It's OK, you don't need to delete the link, is a useful schematic to have as a reference.

JE:
Your welcome. Hope you find the problem.

Hi everyone!

We have done a new layout for this design. It's in eurorack flavor and has a couple of changes from Bernardi's original design:

- Time range selector: you can get you delay into crackling-noisy-garbage area. Getting a few seconds delay plus digital crap galore!
- CV control for the mix.

In our site you can find schematic, pannel design, instructions and CAD files in case you want to give this a try. (sorry, only spanish FTM. will translate soon)

http://www.befaco.org/es/sinte-modular/crush-delay/

If you live close to Barcelona, Madrid or Berlin you can join one of our workshops and do it yourself!

Thanks a million to Mr. Bernardi for the first design and 211 for opening this thread!

Nice!
Did etch a board for the bernardi delay, but this seems a bit more euro friendly, thanks!

In a couple of weeks we'll have a small run of kits. There are two PCBs, one for components and one for control (minijacks & vertical pots) and all needed parts.

For this first run we only will make the whole kit available for 80€ + shipping, not just PCBs. Sorry.

If you are interested in a kit drop us a mail to befacosynth@gmail.com

After this small run that is on the way we are planning a bigger order, and we might sell just PCBs. Maybe around christmas.

Thanks for the interest Very Happy

It was self-etched from the PCB layout in this thread.


I would like to build this too. Could someone direct me to the post in which the PCB layout is in, I can't find it... I can only see one with components already overlayed, I don't have any graphic editing software to delete the components.
