here is a 1st sample. i think it is somehow hard to follow, since there is no time reference like a drum pattern. anyways, the baby10 is controlling the VCP Sequencers pattern: first the baby10 is set to one step, then to two steps, then to 4 steps and finally to 8 steps.
remember, using a 8step sequencer for controlling the VCP Sequencer will give you 8x8=64 steps. another thing i will try is to feed the controlling baby8 with the VCP Sequencers gate or trigger output. manually setting at least one step of the VCPS to ON will prevent it to stop by accident.

thank you, man. 2044? nope. it is the LPG in lopass mode, resonance 50%. the sequencers trigger and gate outputs are controlling the freq.

the patch goes like this:
Audio: EFM Dual VCO3D into LPG292c into fonitronik digiFX.
Clock: CGS Utility LFO a) into Baby8VCP, b) into fonitronik divider into baby10
CV: Baby8VCP into VCO 3D, Trigger & gate into LPG292c

thank you all for all your kind comments and your interest.

i will ask for interest in a PCB in a seperate thread when time has come. i hope you're all fine with that.

however, while testing this module i recognized a somehow strange behaviour:
as soon as you set one or more steps manually to OFF the level of the CV output drops slightly. i can't think of the cause for now, since opamp buffers deliver the current.
i am open for comments or ideas about this.

again, here is the link to the current schematic:

Watching the video this problem seems inaudible...

may be due to the quantizer i am using and due to the fact that the clock is running fast?

anyways, any comment converning the possible cause of this voltagedrop is appreciated. it only applies to manual switching OFF.


BTW tommi, check PM!

not too sure but perhaps because your opamp buffer inputs are floating when in off position , you may need to tie the input to earth when off is selected,
will require a dpdt center off for each
worth a try anyways Wink
and i was wrong in the pm. I will want 4 i think. Laughing

problem solved!

i will start working on a DIY friendly PCB next week.

done.

this is how the PCB might look like. double sided, 4.9x3.9 inches in size. it provides standard connectors for most of the controls. however, to minimize the overall size of the board, and to minimize the wires going from board to frontpanel, i decided to not incorporate the GND and +5V to all the control connectors, but to have a wirepad on the board. accordingly the attenuating potentiometers will have to get wired on the panel.

cool Fonik! I'll surely be getting some of these if you produce a run...

any chance of squeezing on a .156" PSU connector a la Blacet etc?

okay. i now implemented the MOTM .156 connector, the 16pin doepfer bus IDC connector, and the .com 6pin .100 connector. (see above)

both the doepfer and the .com buss provide a +5V rail. by closing a jumper the board can now use this, instead of the onboard regulator.

i am currently working on another project i need to order a prototype PCB soon. i will order the new VCPS board then too.
i think it will take some time until this project becomes available. i rearranged a lot now and the board will need a complete beta test.
