Hi all,

I was going through some old boxes and I found a set of MFOS PCBs that I bought from Ray back in 2006, which I sadly never got around to building. Now that I've found these, I really want ...

I have acquired an Octave Kitten with the same problem. Every key plays the same pitch.

On mine, what was happening is that the GATE contact was being made, but the CV contact was not. So the Ki ...

After drawing some waveforms and thinking about it I've tweaked the design a bit. Now I use three sample & hold ICs.

etc....

what ever happened this development?

Well, I know a prototype of it was at the AH gathering a month or so ago. Sure would be nice to see it released.

PS...would a low battery be a likely cause for the control voltage for pitch not tracking very well with a midi - cv converter.

I suppose it could be, but what MIDI -> CV converter is battery po ...

Wow, futurekomp, that's great! How much of that is hardware sequencing, and how much of it is overdubs and cut 'n paste? Either way, it's a wonderful track and yes, the SoundLab has a great and uniq ...

Also, I'm new to fuses, besides the C64. The synth calls for a "T.360mA" fuse. The extra one I had for the C64 is a 1.5A 250V glass fuse. I'm guessing this is okay?

Well, it will allow cu ...

Pure butter. Amazing.

You mean you need something that can pick up the signal of the mic in the handset and also drive the speaker in the handset? Is this WSG designed to only be heard on the little handset speaker?

Nice! I need to make one of those Princeton delays... indeed.

The next step here is to try pulse width modulation. You will be feeding it a constant voltage, but in pulses. As you narrow the width of the pulses, the equivalent DC voltage that the motor sees wi ...

Um... mechanical speed control? It might wear out or break the thing, but you could probably install a little tab or rubber stopper to apply friction to the motor. Not very elegant, though.

Yeah, like that. An adjustable regulator. I was going to search for something like that to point you to, but I was feeling lazy. I'm glad you found such a straightforward example.
