Just wanted to say massive thank you to everyone in this thread. Today I finally housed my clone in a safe wooden case. The electronics have been sat waiting for this day for over a year. But I finall ...

Hi lysergist, thanks for getting back to me.

Rimshot and clave working beautifully thanks. After some tinkering with the tracks (double checking for shorts) then replacing all the transistors again ...

note:

I have changed all my transistors from BC546/BC556 to BC549/BC559 as i thought the low noise versions might solve the hum but no luck.

And the VR16 100kA still does not affect the level?

Update,

Currently working to get my version of the layout working, as per the link to my Fritzing file.

I can now get to trigger the sounds but from the wrong place.

Applying a voltage to an ...

Sooooo I've been bashing my head against the wall and tearing my hair out of the rimshot.

I've checked over everything a million times.

I can't see a single fault. Just as I was about to throw i ...

Oh and yes.

I decided to use eurorack connectors, but my power supply is variable 12-15v. FC Routemaster by Rick Holt. so I decided to leave it at 15V as the Original 808n PS.

Thanks so much.

I know what you mean about Stripboard being problematic to troubleshoot. I've been going over it for the last 2 weeks trying to find the error, and still no luck.

I put a 2.3M re ...

Things I should also mention.

My pot doesn't affect the level at all?

I am powering this from +-15V

and accent is tied to +15 could this be overdriving the circuit too much?

Wow, thanks for the speedy reply. Sorry for the confusion, I should have tidied up the labelling and I should have said in my original post some of the teething problems I have run into with Fritzing. ...

Ok, so I have possibly solved this myself, any feedback would really be appreciated.

Hi all.

I have 'successfully' made the voice board, cymbal, hi-hats and cowbell.

Minus if you are out there still. Do you have the schematic for the cowbell?

I have some strange behaviour. I ...

Nice one thanks for the heads up. I might need something like that when I have a few more modules and a more sophisticated way of triggering than just pushing a button.

Did using this circuit affec ...

Wow, 5 years. I'm a little late to the party.

I've got accent tied to +15V.

So i'm guessing the little mixer box can add some serious drive/saturation...

I might have to invest.

Thanks

Playing around with a more complex sequence coming out of the Arduino, I found that it sounded interesting if I jumped the input level of the bass drum alternately to over drive it...

Might be an a ...

Thanks PHOBoS...

I am a complete wally. I had failed to connect C1 to C11. Fixing that problem meant when I connected the 'missing' ground to C1, R20 and R25, it worked perfectly.

Now I have a f ...

Thanks PHOBoS.

My the output is a little noisy. So I'd like to fix it.

However, I wired according to Eric Archer's layout. See image below...

Any idea why this kills the output when I connect ...

Got my DIY power supply last night... made it, hooked it up to my 808 BD, all excited, and...

NOTHING

I had to change all the transistors as I possibly damaged them when I hooked it up to an AC ...

Excellent thanks for the advice. I have found similar info on DIY powers supply here.

I guess these are pretty much the same?

Thank you lysergist. Thanks for the speedy reply, I had been scratching my head on this for ages. I have a undergraduates physics degree but had never heard of a dual power supply.

So the best op ...

Hello all.

My first post too.
I just wanted to say, what a brilliant thread. Well done for all the hard work put in by everyone. Thank you LektroiD. Thank you to -minus- for the layouts. elmegi ...
