I have emails for 9 pcbs so far, plus 2 or 3 statements on PM / forum / facebook.
So it's very likely that we reach the 10 boards.
I won't place an order at the factory before next Monday, so if you want to join, there is time until Sunday evening.

I've started a new thread for the debugging / building / exchange of information here:

You (or anybody else) don't need to pay anything up-front.
All I need till Sunday evening is your committment, by email, that you will buy a PCB when I have them ready to ship in a few weeks, so I can place the order at th factory with confidence.

I actually had a dream last night that when my vocoder PCB arrived it was cracked in three pieces, and JH said, "you can just wire those back together!"

Now it's official.
If more want to join, let me know till Sunday evening (per email, not PM).
But if you do, make sure you've read the last couple of pages of this thread, to avoid misunderstanding.

Order placed.
(As usual, there may be a few spares - but not many this time.
If anybody still wants to jump in, I'll keep a list in the order of when orders come in.)

Just curious on the production run, is there any chance that surface mount pads could be added inside the through hole pads for the filter caps? Good surface mount caps at 1% are far cheaper than through hole and rather easy to get (and solder) |

Shipping cartons arrived today.
Mighty impressive sized for just a single PCB.
In retrospect, the best decision was to use a standard format (Din A3) for the PCB size. Now I can use a standard carton size also.

Wow, you mean like the size of a piece of A3 paper? I knew it was big, but hadn't really thought about it's ACTUAL size! _________________ http://loudestwarning.tumblr.com/ |

Yes. It's probably the perfect size for a big project, because it fits tightly into a deep 19" rackmount enclosure also.

Jurgen, as you know I have been interested in this project sine the first.
I still desperately want a board. I have only just seen these announcements and my first reaction is to jump in. But I have no spare cash for this project at this time which is upsetting for me; I don't have the technical ability to debug this project myself but confident that I could build it once the bugs are resolved and I admire the pioneers who are taking this project on. I dont think i have ever asked for help with projects, (apart from the efm sequencer), i prefer to get projects going myself and there is usually so much searchable help in the forums.
I really hope further boards will be available in the future as I definitely want one but at this moment in time the bank manager he say no.

Well poop! I started this thread, but this stupid forum software has failed to send me any updates from this thread for months. I'm bummed that I missed out on the test PCB run. If anyone changes their mind, please PM me. I'd like to be a vocoder guinea pig! |

Yes. While I never know the exact number of boards that will be manufactured (a certain uncertainty is part of the contract with the supplier), I have taken a few spares into account. Drop me a mail ASOP - I'm allocating the spares in the order the orders come in.
And thanks for having started this thread, Romeo!

Do you anticipate being ready to take payments within the next couple of weeks. Tuesday 5/31 is payday and I need to do my monthly planning to make sure I have the funds ready. |

I don't know when the boards will actually be here (they should be in 2 Weeks, but who knows for certain), and when they are here I will *start* to accept money - that doesn't mean you have to pay immediately. I just don't want to have any money up-front before I have someting in my hands that I can ship.

Got it. I'll plan for this month. I think I have all the harder to get parts now so the rest will be simple orders that arrive quickly.

Order confirmation from the factory came in a few days ago. This means, they have started production now.
