Being a 4 bit counter this can be easily expanded to eight or even sixteen steps.

If anyone is interested in the details I'll draw out the schematic.


very interested !
very interested to have schematics for a 16step version.

Yeah that was what i was thinking when looking at the schematic as we are only using half the chips outs. In fact i'm having an idea of making a 8x8 matrix or 4x4 matrix switch. What do you think matthias. Cool



hmm,cool idea!

now that you mentioned it: i could do a 2nd run for an 8 step switch.

BTW i am currently prototyping an 8-step VCF. in fact a 8-step switch and 8(!) SEM based multimode filters.
for each filter you can set ext. CV amount, freq, Q, mode (LP/BP/HP) and pan.
the filter boards are already in, i am currently stuffing them. the main board prototype (in/out/switch) has to be ordered still.


ah!,thats the secret u din't want to tell me Smile


sine -> sounds good,nice module btw 6.3 jacks on 3u panel,i did also a system like that in thepast

Sorry guys ... I haven't found the time yet to put the schematic in a readable format.

That's going to be something for the weekend.

i wonder if it wouldn't be more appropriate to start a new threat then. so this one could be reserved for the actual fonitronik SeqSwitch. what do you think?

my first one is running, debuged it today.
A pad of a Resistor was not soldered, so Out 1 was not doing.
must change my frontpanellayout as i must demount the switch that i can use the dotcom powerconnector.
Watch this if building in euroformat and using the dotcom connector = don't place any switches on the bottom beside out4


on the docs you have differnet letterring for the2/4/3 switch ( Frontpanel vs. wiringdiagramm )
edit: ahh well, i got my Boards btw. Laughing

thanks for the pointer. 2 & 4 are obviously interchanged on the wiring diagram. should read

3
4 steps
2

i tested three different kinds of switches for the manual step. which one you are using?

I have not made the manual switches as i had no Momentary Switches.
I use the above pictured style. My ones are APEM. those have an axle and are in my Opinion the best bang for buck, and i get them locally.
A STSP cost me 3$, dual pole 4.50$.


they would be _really_ worth a Groupbuy. Those APEM come from France.
the feel on mom and on-off switches is of the very best too

thank you so much for your efforts and ongoing support, mr funky!

Aha! Found it (I was expecting to see it in the Fonik sub-forum). I've been searching all over for this thread, so I thought I'd bump it.. Just in the process of wiring a couple of these babies up..

Has anyone done this in 5U? I'd be interested to see how others have laid out their panels?

Having never owned or used a sequential switch before, I am not entirely sure how these work. My understanding is that they switch sequentially 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1 etc etc.. However, mine is making completely random patterns (using manual trigger - I haven't yet triggered externally). Eg; 1,4,1,2,1,3,1,2,1,4,1,4,1,2 etc etc.. Is this how they should work?

i have found that if you send anything other than triggers & gates for clock signals that it will skip steps and act in a semi-random way.

i would think the debouncing of the switch is not working. check your ground wiring, and/or try another switch. BTW i tried three different types of momentaries and the debouncing circuit worked for all three types.
anyways, to narrow it down, try clocking it with an external trigger to test it. and yes, it should switch sequential: 123412341234...

*TekniK
Those panels look fantastic. Shocked
I like the way you visually divided the sections with the lines. Reminds me to the TRON light cycle race Wink
Nice LED caps too and the logic pikto rounds up the overall professional look. Are they silkscreened?

Thanks,no they are laser engraved,the logic pikto is a plain copy that matt drawed and is in his built notes of this module,a perfect xtra touch to fill up the space gap on that panel indeed.

The led caps are from 'Banzai effects' electronic parts online store
