whoops

All the more reason to try triggers only first! My vtl5c2 is still on my bench waiting for pots to arrive (petty excuse)

BTW - Edited my other post

Still nothing showed up here Sad

If nothing has surfaced by the end of the week, I'll probably sell all the components I pre-bought, to make some of my money back. This will include a pair of VTL5C3 & a pair of VTL5C4 (I was intending to build one with the slower vactrols and one with the faster).

I'll keep you posted

Boards landed in Lancashire UK today.

They look good.

Thanks again.

Here's a rough quad unit panel layout, likely to change in the years before I actually build the damn thing. I tried to be as faithful to the original as possible while incorporating the new features and adapting to a skinnier MOTM panel. The big knobs are the Moog style Cosmo clones and the small ones are the serge style Davies clones.

Good points...

So, if you feed it a gate signal you get the adjustable width pulse you wanted plus an optional delay.

I have found the vactrol's combined with the resonance control on my PCB's to cause a bit of a delay. Especially with higher resonance settings. The Vactrol rings later than the pulse of the module creating a "late" response that is dependent on the speed of the vactrol. The 5C3 is really noticable in this area and the 5C4 is not as much due to being "soooo" much slower it is hard to pick out the peak.

It is fun to feed the LPG a square/pulse LFO due to the "bendiness" of the vactrols. Almost rounds the corners a bit

Had some fun building and playing with a triple LPG this afternoon/evening
All I can say is what a sweet project to build 10 out of 10 Thomas for the board layout may you do many more
Also big thanks to Don a man who knows how to use a Vactrols

It’s nice to have some new pluck in my synth

All secondary PCB's have shipped today via First Class US Mail. There were 10 additional orders that went out. If you PayPalled me, you have boards on the way.

Once I make sure everyone is satisfied and is holding the boards hey paid for I *may* have somewhere around 10-20 extra PCBs. Some have emailed me. I think interest might peak again when builds people have done start to surface in sound and images (maybe). I cannot commit to another run, but I will part with any boards I have I don't plan to use myself.

Attention Folks: I do have 2 populated PCB's I might make available. They are the Rev. 1 boards and have a different wiring set up (no PCB mounted pots for example), but do include the same features of the circuit WITHOUT the seprate mixer circuit added to the final Rev.3 PCBs. If you think you would like to see a picture or make an offer please PM me. The Vactrol used on both is VTL5C3 (most common in use) and the boards are without solder mask or silkscreening, but that doesn't matter since they are populated already. You'd just have to wire 2 pots, 1 switch and be done with it.

Thanks for the bandwidth, Oh... and to Krisp... a beautiful job my friend. Nice triple unit in fine form and fashion. I also like the use of the extra power connector for a power bus. Likely to see more people taking that route I think. Glad to hear the twangs and plucks from over the distant horizon Very Happy

Got my boards on saturday 15th, fantastic stuff and lovely sentiment about LH.

Not building as quick as krisp14U though!
Nice work Paul

Cheers
