after 4 months of discouragement we finally found out what was the problem with our vco... the ferrites!!! wrong ones? i don't know they simply let only negative voltages pass
now the oscillator is working great! we (my brother, tbh) built 2, i already love them: the skew, the way they fm... and... everything!
now it's time to find out how to make a good panel!
thank yuo thomas henry!
thank you wigglers!
thank you matthias!!!

frequency central had good results with anodized alu panels and transfer method - tried it today with press'n'peel blue with ...err... not so good results. i think the iron has been too hot.

i don't know perhaps i misunderstood what my brother was telling me, but i remember seeing only negative voltage on the tester...

Hey guys, I have a question regarding the PW pot. Given a 300 degree turn pot in your standard ~7 o'clock to 5 o'clock travel, between 7 and say 9, and between 3 and 5, the PW is 0% or 100%. I don't seem to get the full travel out of my pot, though it does seem to stay centered around 12 o'clock. Is this expected behavior? Other than that I just have to get this thing to track .
Thanks!
Brian |

Thanks, I'll check to make sure I didn't make some dumb mistake (i.e., 33k instead of 330k). If not, I'll try another value or additional in series. _________________ Cheers!

f o n i t r o n i k
it is a name i got from scott stites
gossip: when i started in the forums i thought i needed a nick name - nobody seemed to use their real names. so i decided to go with fonik, which has been the name of the music project i had at this time  _________________

yes, yes, yes - what a great sound
awsome circuit design (thanx thomas)
great work matthias
i love small PCBs (doepfer format)
but ... my timing is so miserable
(that's propably why I use sequencers) ....
i'd love to get 4 core boards (or more) and 2 shapers.
any chance to get a second run?
regards t.paul |

Could the Waveshaper PCBs be stacked with the VCO Core PCBs?
It looks like the mounting holes on both PCBs line up, but I'd like to know for certain... |

Hi Matthias,
good news
OK I will definitly take 6 cores and 3 shapers.
Do you accept paypal or do you prefer direct "Ueberweisung"?
(sorry my finacial vocabulary is too short)
I might be out of net connection during this weekend and I do not want to miss the pcbs again (this as excusion for my next question - I'm so new to this forum):
Do I get an email for details or do I have to order somewhere else?
PS:
I love your projects and your videos
best regards
(sic)paul |

I'd like 2 of each as well. I have the same question as sicpaul, will these appear on the "PCBs for Sale" section of your website, or are you handling this all right here? |
