Announcement: PCBs for the Matrix FX

[Fabian Baumanis]

Hi Community,

I'm currently working on the PCBs for the JH Matrix FX Synthesizer, and I thought: "Let's share it with them.!"

The PCBs will be in *.brd format.

I upload teh PCBs, as they are finished, as fast as I can make.

Stay tuned!

Hi Community,

for the Beginning, a nice Picture of my Desktop.


On the left you can see the original schematic by Juergen, on the right (the big black Monitor), I'm going to redraw it in EAGLE and then make a PCB.


It will be made with Auto-Route, as I am not so good in routing PCBs.

Stay Tuned!

I finished the first Schematic: the Trapezoid Generator with the VCA.

Here is the brd-File of the Trapezoid/VCA.

It's single-sided, auto-route was'nt so successful, 93,1%.
So you have to solder some wires on the Top-Side.

Maybe someone can verify this PCB and optimize it.

Please give Feedback.

Stay Tuned.

Hi Community,

i just finished the schematic and the brd for the Joystick-Board last night.

Auto-Route was 100%.

Please write some feedback.

Stay Tuned.

Has anyone some Feedback yet?

Hi Fabian

Good luck with this project and it is very kind of you to share your work. I do not have Eagle so cannot check the files (I know it is free)

Probably a good idea to build & test your PCBs before uploading them, few people would be keen to invest the money/time into an untested layout.

Don't trust autoroute.....better, don't even use it. There are quite a few forums and threads on PCB layout and the best ways to do it for synth circuits.

[Fabian Baumanis]

Okay,
I will make it on my own on the next circuits.

[SolderSmoke]

It says invalid files. Could be that you´re using ver 6.x and I´m using ver. 5.x.
I have been using Eagle since ver 4.5 and very familiar with routing, so if you want some help just call me.

[Fabian Baumanis]

@SolderSmoke:

Yes, I have the newest Version, 6.20.
It would be nice if we could collaborate for the PCB Routing.

[vtl5c3]

Very cool. I'm really looking forward to the BBD delay!

[cormallen]

Wow.

If you can get the complete set working and debugged, I'll certainly build them!

Thanks for all the work.

can't open them either, i'm still on 5.11 :/
