Just Finished Mankato |

UPDATE:
Just got them calibrated. Very nice. They look good in the rack.
Next up is my J. Haible Frequency Shifter...
Just wanted to share.
I finished the first of two Mankato Filters I'm building. I used Schafer for the front panel (borrowed some ideas from the Suite and Tie Guy, thank you http://www.stgsoundlabs.com) and did it in a FracRack format. The "funny" writing is Bulgarian (long story) thanks to my son who speaks it. The bottom translates to Magic Smoke Electronics. The top is just Mankato VCF with the appropriate Cyrillic letters since there is no word "Mankato" in Bulgarian. The .fpd files are on the Yahoo ModularSynthPanels group site and attached here. There are a couple of tweaks I would do if I were to make the panels again. I'd move the "18db" label down just a bit and move teh "FM" lables to the left a bit, otherwise, it all fits, a bit tight around the 1v/oct jack and FM3 pot, but it works.
The build used help from Dave Brown's site, http://modularsynthesis.com/magicsmoke/mankato/mse.htm as well as the excellent docs provided by Magic Smoke.
One thing I did differently to hold down the tempco was to run a zip tie around the chip. It holds the resistor snug without the chance of shorting something.
Thanks Thomas Henry and thanks Magic Smoke!
As an aside, I can highly recommend stgsoundlabs and Magic Smoke. They are great to deal with.

Nice work, Dave!
I've always wondered what "Magic Smoke Electronics" was in Bulgarian.
Anyway, glad you got your Mankato up and running. Have fun making noise!
BTW, I still think the Mankato is my favorite LFO. The wide freq range gives you a whole new range of effects when swept.
Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful panel dingebre. Do you have a part number available for the knobs you used? I've been looking around at different knobs and those look real nice. |

Sorry I'm slow.
I got these from Mouser, comparable to the ones on Blacet modules. They come is several colors and either a knurled or "D" type fitting for 16mm shafts. If the shaft is round, I found that I can ream out a knurled one, and it will stretch over a round shaft and works pretty good.
A typical knurled part number is: 450-BA460
A typical "D" shaft part number is: 450-BA461
Pages around 1829 in the catalog
They are made by Eagle Plastic. _________________ David M. Ingebretsen, M.S., M.E.
