i've made a noise synth out of a cd4093 + cd4040

this is a picture of a dual version, fully expanded.
Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.
you can patch all the 4040 divisions together, to make sound + rythme variations.

all the info to build it (+eagle files) resides here:http://reverselandfill.org/workshops/cmos.html
it's my first pcb project Smile

i've made some updates to the pcb recently, for cv control per OSC and better noise.
here is the schematic of this new version:
ps: the diodes at the cv mod part are zeners

welcome fetideye! What a wonderful noise Smile

If I get the schematic right, JP1 is meant to patch some of the 4040 divisions together. I think it would be a good idea to have a resistor in series with each input so that you don't create any shorts between HIGH and LOW outputs of the 4040.

hi synaesthesia

thanks!

by resistors in series, you mean that every input to jp1 :

----cable---resistor---jp1

while all jp1 pads are connected?

what value should i take? 1k?

Yes, I meant like this below. It would be even safer to add a resistor to each 4040 output instead if there is a risk that they are ever connected directly to each other.

The HEF CMOS family specification lists 10mA maximum current per input or output. At 5V that would mean 500 Ohms to limit the current to 10mA. At 10V it means 1K Ohms. Given two outputs from the 4040, one HIGH and one LOW, the total series resistance between them is twice that value. So I think that 1K is the minimum and 10K is a good choice, but others may differ and elektrouwe can tell that I am torturing my CMOS ICs a bit sometimes. Wink

Adding the resistors might have a small effect on the sound because you change the characteristic of your mixer stage a bit. However, the 4.7uF plus 100K combination already makes a strong RC high-pass filter, and so I don't expect the sound to change noticeably.

hey, this is a little late I see, but i'm going to start building this - trying to make sure i fully understand the schematic first.
from the build guide, there are these mod suggestions:

Quote:
Connect all the division outputs to patchpoints on your panel (banana?)
Use the DIV shaper inputs as patchpoint inputs


so JP1 is for the output stage, e.g. the divider outputs from the 4040 get patched up to there on the panel. each nand output on the 4093 gets its own output, as does the final output. where exactly are the DIV shaper inputs?
looks like a super interesting circuit. thanks a lot for sharing.

the mod guide was intended for the older version.

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

the idea is that you patch the division outputs (2, 4, 8 , 16, 32 etc) onto the div1 / div2 and div3 inputs.
note: something has to be patched in div1 to hear sound

if you make the mega version, you make output points for all divisions and inputs (div1, 2 and 3 , and it is useful to make some multiples of these)

and here is an example for cv inputs (d1 = 9.2v zener, not super essential, but handy for 12v modular connections)

ps: i have some pcb's (and full kits) left, if you are interested

aha, got it! thanks a ton for the explanation, and for the new schematic. i'll let you know how it sounds for me ; )

ps: a good patch to start with is:
/16 - div1
/4 - div2
/2 - div3

then add bigger divisions for variations.

ps2:
the potmeters are left orientated. (noise against hate)
turn left for high frequencies / noise
turn right for bleeps

i made a mod with a multiturn potmeter on pot1. works good for channeling the sweet spots.

hell yeah to left-oriented noise against hate
