Such great eye candy to behold, ahhhhh! Bill, that thing looks like it belongs on the space shuttle - good job. Paco, nice synth you've built, very Luntta-ish and more! And kudos to all the builders posting here, it's truly inspirational to read this thread...

I love it Adamon! Looks really thought through, great job!
Would like to see a schematic for that grid sequencer sneak it's way into the lunettaforum  .

Agree 
I love see through. Such a shame when you cover up all your pcb work with metal. Got any vids. |

Adamon
 I really like see through to ! Very nice job. I would be interested to hear the grid sequencer in action. Would like to see videos when they are up. The pictures are of good resolution and I could zoom in and see the details

Thanks everyone! This set of modules definitely kept me busy for a while; it was kind of a weird experience of excitement/terror/sadness/happiness/exhaustion, although I'm sure I'm not the only one who has gone through the "building" emotions.
I'll try and get those videos made soon as time permits. As far as the shitty pictures, the shitty thing about taking pictures of my stuff is that, A: any flash or directed light source bounces off the panels and washes things out, and B: pictures really bring out all the flux spots on the backside of the panels and make them look like I sneeze alot or something (and maybe C: everyone can see my wiring nightmares).
I'd be happy to explain my grid sequencer elsewhere, although I'm not sure if the lunetta forum would be the most appropriate place as it really is just a microcontroller doing everything; I'll post up some stuff in the microcontroller thread soon. If anyone's interested in the circle sequencer, there's already a thread about it (somewhat disguised) going in the lunetta forum: http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-40018.html

Skip? The only schematic example that I've ever seen of that is a roughly copied one for the Moog 960. How did you do it? That's a function that I've wanted to implement for quite awhile.  (The 960 one were rather complex, with flipflops per step.)

The second sequencer is a home grown grid sequencer. Back when I first heard about makenoise's rene sequencer, I though, "hey, I know how to do that," and so I spent a few months working on it and ended up with my take on it. There are two clock inputs (x and y), two direction switches (x righ/left and y up/down), and two external direction control jacks (x high/low for right/left and y high/low for up/down). A microcontroller combines the clock inputs to determine the current position and sends it to the grid through a decoder. The grid is 4x4, and there is a single output (with amount control) for each row and each column (rows 1,2,3,4, and columns 1,2,3,4). Each step has a level control and a switch for on/skip.
|
Now - I'm VERY curious as to how you did the X,Y sequencer! My Quadatrix Sequencers that I designed, do the X with 2 bit inputs for their 4 steps.
The Y capability is done with 3 bit inputs for the Vertical sequencer's 8 'steps'
You also mentioned with a Microcontroller - as I've just recently gotten to learning the PICs from Microchip with my PICKit 3 ... which micro family did you go with?
My future desires are to convert my sequencer and sequencer controller designs, to PIC. That'd save me a LOT of electronics hardware, for their currently designed implementations.  They ARE 1V/oct. though. (Which I hope to keep.)
Edit: Oooo. Duh. Please do forget my forgetfulness! Greatly looking panels from yourself as well! I love the seethrough panels that a couple of other people have done, as well! |

My getting in to learning how to work with PICs, wont stop me from implementing them in my Lunetta machinery, at all. Lunetta = simplicity? Simple PIC code = simplicity also. |

just thought i'd pipe in - my bindubba3 sequencer has much the same functionality using cmos - info, video & schematic
and can vouch that x-y sequencers are much more fun |

And now time for a shameless plug:
Damon (adamon) and his remarkable Lunetta will join us at the Kansas City Regional electro-music festival. Damon will play a set on Friday and, on Saturday, he and Howard will present a seminar on Lunetta History, Construction, and Sounds.
And... it will all be streamed live right here at radio.electro-music.com .
To see the entire schedule, click on:

(p.s. -- I just finished a CGS09 VC Divider module but my camera batteries are dead so I'll post a picture later.)

Wow JCM, that is really incredible! It kind of has a wondermark feel. Worth the effort!

Plenty of info and more pictures on my blog, http://tf50.tonefilth.org .
I have a recent live set posted using only the TF50 unprocessed. I'll have some more video/sounds up there soon hopefully! |

Hey JCM,
Nice Mankato implementation! The whole panel is really beautiful. I like the somewhat 'retro' look to it.
