That's the ticket, thanks!
Seems like this could be built with this headphone amp and a CGS Mixer, you think? Much cheaper boards. |

Possibly but I don't know. Since the ESP circuit appears to be pretty much a sure thing, and since it's such a small circuit, when I finally get around to it I intend to just build it on perfboard.

Derek Revell is taking orders for EMS style pcb's now.
http://www.phutney.com/
| Quote: | Welcome to all
Thanks for your visit, I hope you find this web site easy to get around, if you have any suggestions on how I might improve it, please use the Contact Box, which should point you in the right direction.
Good news!
Robin Wood has told me my VCS3 will be ready for delivery in the Summer of 2013, can't wait..
Latest news on the cloning front.
I'm taking orders with money up front, for Phutney PCB's, 1 set of three boards for £55 to a UK address, and £60 for the rest of the world, I need a minimum of 25 people, so I will start the list as from today, I will need your name and address and your payment to be added to the list.
Please email your details and payment via Paypal to derekrevell@aol.com
Once I have 25 people on the list and made payment, I will then get the boards manufactured. The payment is refundable, if I don't receive 25 subscribers by the end of 2012.
l have started a subscribers countdown on this page which will be updated, as an when people subscribe.
The boards will be manufactured by ExpressPCB in the USA, and be RoHS compliant, tin plated finished, dual layered boards, through hole plated, silk-screened with component labels.
SUBSCRIBERS = 17
I renamed Miscellaneous page to Technical Info, as people were having trouble locating the BOM's and PCB layout pages for the Phutney construction details. |

The new Voyager- much loved by many American, is vastly overrated, especially when the same amount of lolly, can also buy you a Clavia G2!! |
The Clavia G2 may be a nice software synth, but how dare you compare it to a Minimoog Voyager.
I really love my Minimoog Voyager. I think the late, great Dr. Moog did an outstanding job of creating a 21st century Minimoog. All of the old features of the Model D (minus white noise) are present on the Voyager and they are still knob controllable just like they were on the Model D.
Plus the Minimoog Voyager has a lot of features that its older Model-D brother never had. They include a keyboard with velocity & aftertouch features, a VC-Mixer, 2 VC-ADSRs, 3 VC-Waveshapers, a VC-LFO, S&H, 2 programmable modulation busses, a programmable touch surface controller, & dual 2P/4P Moog Filters which can be configured in stereo LP mode or LP/HP (BP) mode.
There are also a ton of software features (such as over 700 presets, pot-mapping, & MIDI-Controllable parameters) that most people aren't aware of unless they are an experienced user. I bet a lot of people who may have even demo'ed a Voyager weren't aware that the Voyager had a VC-Mixer, VC-ADSRs, and a VC-LFO.
If you purchase the Moog VX351 CV Expander, you add 21 CV outputs to go with the 14 CV inputs that are starndard on the Voyager. This addition also makes the Minimoog Voyager a powerful semi-modular synth that can also be used as the core of a modular synth (or at the very least a powerful modular synth control center). The keyboard, mod wheel, pitch wheel, & touch surface controllers have their own CV outputs (the keyboard and TSC also have their own gate outputs), which allow each one of these devices to be used as independent controllers for other synths & synth modules.
Last but not least, those Minimoogs with the electric blue & orange solar backlit panels really look amazing when you are up on stage.
To each his own, but I'd rather have a Voyager in my studio than a half-dozen Nord G2's. |

1 of JH Living VCO module gives 3 great VCO's (add tri and sin wave shapers if needed, MFOS VCO boards can be adapted for this)
1 of (newly launched!) JH Trapezoid Env / VCA, gives envelope and VCA
1 of Yusynth Diode Filter gives genuine EMS style VCF
1 of 20x20 Ghielmetti patch pin matrix
Not a lot more needed really, just ring mod, spring reverb and some buffer circuitry for patch panel but there are DIY options for these too.
As soon as I have some spare time and cash I'll be building one........

I have also thought about using them to make a VCS3ish type instrument as several other people have already done. In fact, I already have 3 of these 4 critical devices. However, I lack the most critical one of them all: the patch pin matrix. (Actually, I've never seen them sold anywhere in the USA.)
1) Does anybody know how much a 16x16 or a 20x20 Ghielmetti patch pin matrix cost?
2) Where is the best place to buy one? |

Ghielmetti Matrix Panels |
|
|
16 x 16 Matrix panels are non standard, thus they are custom built, the 20 x 20 is a standard panel, but Ghielmetti do several different type of Matrix and the nearest match to EMS Selectro panel is a Type 621 I think, from memory. It is fairly easy to convert a 20 x 20 to a 16 x 16 if you so wish.
The price is pretty high at around 526 Euros, without Pins and Shipping and Import duties.

Synthi Zee and Phutney
Subject description: Just stuff |
|
|
I thought I might just add some stuff, I've managed to supply over 350 sets of boards to cloners and DIY guys, a fact I'm very happy with, the circuits I copied were never patented or protected in any way shape or form, and due to the lack of supply from you know who, I feel I needed to end this drought of need, I see plenty of legitimate companies who are doing the same thing, without the same level of negativity being shown, I will say that the 24dB/Oct filter that is used in the Deodar synth, is a direct copy of the "Moog" filter, although done with diodes instead of transistor, it still was itself a copy, a fact that EMS covered up by renaming their filter as a 18dB/Oct, but it never was.
I hope to go on, to produce a KS board, so that fellow cloners can reproduce a sequencer that EMS can't offer. Best regard Derek Revell

Would that include the touch controller? Maybe that's the only way to enter notes?
Keep up the great work Derek, very inspiring! |
