If you check the post about the Baleani organ I found you'll know that I have two of these single bus circuits which need to be built. And I will be doing a stripboard layout soon, but....
I'm on holidays from TAFE, I've just moved my entire workshop to a different room of the house, we've got friends from Sydney coming up on Tuesday (BBQ/Partying/etc), and I've re-loaded Quake3 so I can practice for an upcoming LAN party I've been invited to.
So,............... I'll get onto that layout ASAP.
See ya,
Andrew
P.S. You're lucky I checked the forum tonight. I might not have seen you're post for another week! Send me a PM if you want to be sure I'll see it soon. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

The +/-9V supply is fine. But I'm not sure whether the charge dumper will cut it. The SL needs two fairly full (preferably alkaline for their reduced internal resistance) 9Vs to run well. If you compromise that at all the supply rails can easily get contaminated by the digital chips.
Also, once you put the single bus keyboard to CV converter in there, your batteries are going to work harder anyway. I'd recommend shifting to a +/-12V transformer power option. This makes it difficult for portability. You could try 2*12V SLA batteries, but that's probably too heavy. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

I have started the layout for the single bus CV stripboard.
It's quite big, and I'll need to double check it, so I estimate Thurs or Friday.
See ya,

Thanks,
It's called Lochmaster. It's by a German company, Abacom: -
http://www.abacom-online.de/default.html
I've got version 2.0
There's a version 3 now which uses much more realistic pics of components.
I'm going to start building that board in the next few days. I'll let you know how it goes. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

- classic example why we need to clear up the SL forum. I went looking for the previous link for this the other day- but eventually gave up after wading through page upon page :evil:
Thanks Uncle-K 4 posting the link again :) I know there is a specific place for links but how many times do people here use it? I'll set up a link 2 links announcement page soon :)
I really hope that these products will work in iEmulator (PC emulator for Mac)- as I mailed abacom asking if they would do an OSX port and I got no answer. I really do find that anti-Macuser attitude a bit backward :( |

Just a quick post to let everyone know that this stripboard layout for the single bus to CV+Gate board works perfectly. I hooked mine up tonight for the first time and now the old Baleani organ is starting to sound like a (slightly out of tune) SH101. I haven't adjusted my 1V/Oct pots yet so it's pretty damn good just straight off the bench.  _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Check Ray's site, he talks about using cheaper ones. I put a TL072 in mine, and it works just fine. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Ok, Thanks for the fast answer. If you used 072 then I'll do that. |

that's true - so i made this post as announcement. i think all of Andrews layouts should be on the top.

Sorry it took a while to get back to you Henq.
I looked around, but I can't find any mention on Ray's site about substitutes for the LM3900. I found one relativly easily, so I never thought much more of it. I got it from Jaycar, which is not where I go for "rare" chips, so I assume they are common. To be honest, I haven't looked into the circuit theory enough to know why he used an LM3900 anyway. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

From http://www.synthdiy.com/show/showproduct.asp?show=93
Quote: | it is important to stress that the LM3900 is not a regular quad opamp: instead of Vout = A*(Vin+ - Vin-) (which is what a regular opamp does; the output voltage equals A times the voltage difference between the +/- input terminals) the LM3900 basically delivers Vout = A*(Iin+ - Iin-), i.e. the output voltage equals A times the input current difference between the +/- inputs. As a consequence the LM3900 as low-impedance inputs, in contrast to regular opamps which should have high-impedance inputs. |
Texas Interuments refers to these as Norton Operational Amplifiers, they also list the National Semiconductors LM2900 as a substitute (or actualy their's as a sub for the NS devices).
Googling on "quad norton amp" I found Motorola's MC3301 and MC3401 - but I did not check the data sheets on those. _________________ Jan
also .. could someone please turn down the thermostat a bit.

thanx for the replies!
i'm building the stripboard right now, and its comming along nicely.
there are a couple of things not realy clear in the picture mostly becouse its not realy high resolution, i mistook R15 for R16 and for the diodes that are standing up i had to look up in the schematic witch way they went...
for the rest, superb work, thanx a lot for the design! |

thanks a lot for the high res pic!
its very helpful.
maybe you could host it somewhere and post a link here, it might help other people too |

today i started working on the keyboard, bus soon found out that the switches that are in the keyboard (an old jvc) have a resistance of there own (and of course not 100 ohm, but apox 170 ohm)
pretty clever to make those switches but now my 100 ohm resistor chain thing is not going to work...
is there a way to mod the circuit to work with a 170 to 190 ohm chain?
(not all the switches have the same resistance..) |

You want a 1 Volt drop per octave, which is .08333 Volt per semitone. Now, if each semitone has a 100R resistor then you'd need .8333 mA running through the resistor chain. Which you can dial up with the trimpot in the constant current source R8(500R). To get the same result for a 170R chain, you divide .08333 by 170, which gives you .4901 mA running through the resistor chain. If you can't dial that up (and I think you could) then we get on the blower to Ray and ask him.
I should point out though that if they are somewhere between 170 and 190 ohms each, then you're not going to get an even tempered scale. They really need to be within 1% deviation across all the resistors.
Can you take a photo and post it here? _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |
