I made a dual 2 input mixer which can also be used as a single 4 input mixer.

So now I have space for 1 module left! Razz

It took me a while to see what you did there with the switch. I was confused by the fact that nothing was being disconnected from the op amps. Now I see that what is really going on is switching the A or B side to the opposite output! Smart! You could use it as a sort of send/return and dry/wet mixer too, which is very interesting. Hook your inputs into the a side and then feed the a output through a filter or whatnot and then the out of that back into b! Very practical and flexible!

Yes in 1x4 mode the signals are added to both channels, and in 2x2 mode it places the input resistors in parallel, doubling the gain.
Didn't think about the dry wet function Very Happy, should work except there is some attenuation on the inputs
because of the high level lunetta signals. So the output level of the filter or whatnot needs to be pretty high.

------------------------------------------------------------

I finished the last module for this modular lunetta Laughing
And this one actually has 2 circuits:

A pulse delay based on this design without the pulse width control. I added a switch to connect the output to the input
so it can be used as an oscillator aswell. I also added a switch to choose between 2 capacitors for a low and high speed.

The other circuit is a comparator with 3 outputs (</=/>). The input amplifiers are configured in such a way that when plugging in
the saw output from the 4046 VCO's or CV signals the output has the maximum amplitude. Squarewaves (which have a higher amplitude)
are clipped at the same level. And because they are already square it doesn't really alter them. The signal also gets inverted which is useful
when only one input is used. Because the input is low the output will be high and the level pot sets a DC reference voltage. This can be used to
turn a saw into a square with adjustable pulse width. I used 2 comparators with a small window so that both outputs are high when the
inputs are equal. The CD4028 (BCD-to-Decimal Decoder) splits it into 3 seperate signals.

Apparently I didn't post the final result with all modules installed. I thought I did though. drunken

I posted a photo of a setup I'm working on here.
it's only a part of what Ive build but it's a start.

Questions:

    How many years of work?
    Do you have a social life?


I need to know how long it's going to take me to get there and the sacrifices I need to make.

Quote:
How many years of work?

well I've been into electronics for more than 25 years. started when I was about 10, but that was just simple stuff with some lightbulbs,
small motors, switches and batteries. Then some things with flashing LED's (they fit exactly into LEGO Technic holes Wink)
After a while some very simple stripboard things, which didn't work 90% of the time but that's probably not so weird considering I used
a 100Watt soldering gun and very agressive flux (S39). I gradually got more experienced with it getting most of the info from elektor magazine
and build some lightcontrollers and audio devices (mixers, amplifiers). It's when I got internet and especially after I joined here that I really
picked up the pace. I actually didn't really know anything about synthesizers before that time.

Not outside of EM,. this is my social life Rolling Eyes

As to social life, it's like, when we make new sound machines etc we are making our own friends! And we can always say, yup, this is my new friend - I made her/him!

oh I like that Very Happy
I do see them as all having there own characteristics/personality and they play with me as much as I play with them.

This looks really nice! I love the arrangement of the different Color Shades!

Is the Panellayout just your Design printed out on regular paper, and glued to the perfboard? or is there a trick to maybe make it a bit more "sturdy"?

Very Happy, yeah it's just regular paper glued to the perfboard with sprayglue and some clearcoating, although that doesn't protect it
very much. But because of all the bolts nothing will really touch it so except for the screwholes it doesn't really get damaged easily.

Smile I still have it! Actually I used it and the lunetta in a synth DIY presentation recently, which made me want to build stuff again. A modular lunetta like yours would be amazing to build.
