I'd be up for 4 more boards if you do a run.

Cheers

I would be up for eight boards if another order is made.

I'll take two boards if another run of PCBs is made. Maybe eventually I'll build them! Very Happy

What range of cv do they expect?

... and a few boards wanted over here, too.

I would certainly buy a few, I was away and just came back to the board after the first ones had gone. Can somebody fill me in (still reading 20 pages of this topic) is this circuit for regular 10v audio levels, or Buchla audio levels?

If there's another run, I'll commit to 6 boards!

I noticed bridechamber is doing panels for this bad boy... would he be in charge of the boards this time around?

Hi, I'd be interested in a couple of boards if there is ever another run.

Cheers,

I finished one today, i'm not particularly proud of the panel, but i thought i'd chuck it up here.
I had 3 audio ins & 3 cv ins, but found the 3rd inputs a bit too much for my needs, so trimmed it back to 2 of each.
Also, i couldn't find a 50k resistor for the Resonance mod- so i used a 51k, and it seems a bit squishy near fully CW. I wonder how important the value is here, does anyone know?
My other pcb probably won't have the mixers, just direct inputs.
Thanks again Thomas & everyone else who made it possible!

I'm up for at least one pcb if there is another run.

Hi guys,

Just a bit of an update here...

Another run? I'm super down to get one together, but I have been unlucky in communicating with Don Buchla. I have now sent 4 emails to him and have not been able to get a reply. He was very VERY nice to approve the first run. I was hoping for a quick approval for another one. I have stated many times I will not do one without his blessing in honor of his design.

One needs to realize the situation (to my knowledge, correct me if I am wrong. MANY people have done (made commercially available) Lopass Gates now without Don's approval including Doepfer, Plan B, Cyndustries and Make noise. Each design has had small changes from Don's original design like mine does. Remember, mine removes the switching IC from the original thanks to designs posted on the web and therefore public domain. My changes are adding the mixer section for Audio and the Mixer section for CV, also from designs in public domain. So, am I really doing something wrong by making more of these without permission from the master himself?

I know desire for these, as shown by the posts here and the emails directly, will influence people to say "No way dude, make more!!!" but is that really the case? Who can give legal advice here? I want to make more, but don't want to be a hypocrite either. Many have contributed to the success of this project since Don's original design. If Don says "no" or I can't get an approval I will not make anymore. But...

What are your thoughts on this out there? Maybe I can post my board designs for public domain so at least people could get them made on their own type of thing? Thanks in advance for your opinions!

Did Don originally say "Yes, i approve, but only for a certain number of pcb's"?
Maybe his silence is his way of saying that he's already given approval.
If anything can be said of Don, he doesn't look back.
But if i was in your position, i'd call him on the telephone.

hmm... i talked to him briefly yesterday & may swing by buchla's later today to pick up some 200e goodness.

i'll try to remember to ask him although seriously i can't imagine him doing anything other than giving the green light.
