The Thomas Henry Mega Percussive Synthesizer

I'd like to be the first to say thanks Mosc for getting this happening. There are quite a few very keen builders who will be breathing a sigh of relief at the news of this PCBs imminent release.
I'd also like to say thank you to everyone else involved, Scott, Tom Bugs, Theff and most importantly to Thomas, who designed an amazing project in the MPS.

I second the "Unc's" sentiments. I understand the need to have the right things lined up before something can happen. I want Howard to know he has my thanks for all his work on this board and for the DIY community at large, Howard you are appreciated! I look forward to availability of these boards, and thanks to all of you involved.

I'm getting antsy for these!

Oh Boy!

Must express my appreciation to everyone involved in this. Especially Thomas, Scott and Mosc. Smile

With my backlog I can still wait awhile, but it's wonderful to read the success of the 3rd Klee run and that we could be seeing action in a few weeks! Smile

Am I wrong in predicting an INSTANT sellout of the 1st run? Very Happy

Update;

I have pushed the button. I should have the PCBs within two weeks. Usually it is less time, but it can take the maximum.

Thanks for your patience.

Hey, I'm looking forward and I 've got a doubt about my MIDI>CV converter. It have a gate out, so, when I press a key of my masterkeyboard I got +5v gate signal that stays up till I release the key.
Is it ok for the MPS or do I need a GATE>TRIGGER converter?

Uncle Krunkus · Posted: Fri Oct 17, 2008 5:46 am Post subject:

The MPS will work using the gate out, but you might want to make a gate->trigger converter anyway. It reacts quite well to varying length triggers, (which is what a gate is really) so if you play it (or run a sequencer into your MIDI>Gate converter) you'll be able to hear the difference of varying note lengths.

Thanks for quick reply !
So, what it seemed to me from your answer is that the MPS can be more expressive responding to different length notes (gate) than to same length notes (trigger). Also I could imitate the trigger behaviour writing very short midi notes on my sequencer...

Hi Howard,

How much are the boards? I would like to buy 12, please.

Regards

I got the boards in and I've posted it on the store. See this link: http://electro-music.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/104

I think Andy did a beautiful job on the PCB layout, as usual.

As for people that order more than two or three; that's OK, but I'll wait a couple of weeks before shipping out big orders to make sure everyone gets a chance at the first run that wants them. So, if you order 12, I'll ship the first two quickly and hold the rest for a while.

Things will not be as tight for the MPS because we ordered 300 boards. The Klee runs were 100 board sets each. As soon as this board brings in enough money, I'll order another run of Klees.
