Bits & Pieces...

Been a bit quiet recently but there have been some boards building up... Need to sort out the front panels and some Cliff sockets...

PSU

A new Power Supply for Forbin. This is an adaption of the Elektor Formant one. It hasn't been finished off quite yet...

YMSoU

Yet More Source of Uncertainty -- this is board number 1; but the 3rd of the boards that I have built. It has one rather old CMOS part in the 4006 -- for some reason this particular part has become very hard to get hold of but it is actually fitted here. All it needs is quite a few more resistors and we should be away! This one is a random Quantizer, from my rather brief look at the schematic it might be better called a Random Attenuator! Anyway I still need to finish it off and give it a real test to be more sure...

Organ Donor

More stuff from the Organ from beside the road! Now we have a rather nice spring reverb -- the actual spring is in turn isolated from the frame by another spring assembly and there is a nice acoustic bag for the whole thing. A bit tempted to investigate a valve (tube if you must) option! There is still booty to be rescued what's more!

Some new Ideas...

Possible keyboard scanning/arpeggiating for the organ keyboard, with velocity of course...

...and the Sound Comes out of There...

Back to get more organ waste... Seems in resonable condition despite the water stain -- probably good enough for my ears anyway!

Top Octave

The fruits of the Organ salvage... a top octave generator... these are becoming inceasingly hard to find. I have a design that i made that uses a PLD to act as a top octave generator but it is expensive, very power hungry and a pain to program...
