This one has been a long time coming! Brand spanking new fabbed PCBs are now in stock. Panels are on order and should arrive within 4 weeks. The panels are 10HP and are basically the same as shown below, with the exception that the 'Frequency Central' logo will be in mirror image.

If you want just a PCB or two you can order now they'll be shipped right out.

If you want PCB + panel you can order now but please allow about 5 weeks for delivery.

Continuum PCB: £15 GBP
Continuum Panel: £15 GBP

Shipping:
Please add £3 GBP if you're outside Europe.

Paypal to:

....don't forget to replace the (AT) with @

Soundclips? First, let's phase some pink noise:

So now, with a couple of VCOs as audio, let's send S/H into one CV input then an ADSR into the other, while slowly turning up the resonance:

Now, a single VCO as audio, with ADSR to one CV input of Continuum, and slowly introducing a -1oct sub osc to the other CV input:

Some Continuum ping action! Using a Roland ADSR to ping it, and a couple of tap tempo LFOs synced with a clock divider to modulate it. There's some serious bottom end going on there, better hook up your playback device to your nearfields...:

Finally, here's how it sounds phasing my RS-09:

Very cool project - before I order it, I had four small questions.

[note - I feel like the Spanish Inquisition sketch - I started out with 2 questions, but I keep adding more. ]

[note 2- I looked around your website and found the answer to most of my questions - here is the link to the document: ]
http://www.frequencycentral.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Continuum-Build-Doc.pdf

1) I see LM13700s, but are the other ICs anything difficult, or just common op-amp stuff?
Answer - Nope - just plain vanilla components


2) Can this run on +/- 15v?


3) What does the "Even/Odd" switch do?
Answer Regenerates even or odd stages - This would be a nice thing for an audio demo...

4) How many stages does the phase shifter have?
Answer - 4 Stages

Thanks
Gary

1. Other ICs are TL084 and TL072, somehow the screenprint was missed.

2. Runs fine on +/-15V

3. Odd/Even refers to the number of stages in the resonance path, Odd is more pronounced, but Even has it's charms too. Example, first riff Odd, second riff Even:

4. Technically 6 stages, 4 swept, 2 fixed.

Hi again,

I noticed in the documentation that you said R46 was related to regeneration, and should not be stuffed.

If I wanted to have a regen control, would it make sense to have a 10K pot in that position?

Thanks
Gary

Already has a regen control, 'Res' on my panel = regen

The 10K resistor tames the regen in a somewhat musical way, however if you want wild self oscillation you can reduce the resistor, say 4K7.

Wouldn't it just need a few static all pass filters configured to give a few usec delay?

This old thread includes a circuit for a 0.5msec analog delay, intended for TZF using only one BBD. However there could be some mileage in trying this with a phaser.....a la Eventide!
