Muff's Modules & More

Valis, that sounds like a really nice project, could you give us some more info on the DIY 190, any links or anything?

I've been interested in building a tube VCA for a while but this would be a perfect excuse to do it!

So yeah, count me as interested...

Bare with me for a moment. I've spent a lot of time thinking about the 4U format ideas and discussions in this thread: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58104&start=80

Being that I am already committed to a 4U format with these buchla panels and like the size and whatnot, I am not so sure I am crazy about developing another DIY 4U format. I am starting to think that using the buchla panel dimensions and add some serge designs to supplement my buchla might be a better choice. The buchla panel dimensions are pretty much the perfect size for 4 serge rows (i.e. 2 VCFs in a panel). This gives you 16 rows in 17" - like STS. I just see myself being far more committed to buchla related stuff but would like to supplement with some CGS/serge. Now ultimately whether or not this will happen depends on if it is something you guys are interested in. I'm not in a rush to get the serge panels out but I thought I should plant the seed and see what people think.

Another thing to think about is that we are beginning to run low on released buchla projects. I know there are various thing in the works but after I kick out panels for the 291, lanterman stuff we will pretty much exhaust what is currently available that is directly buchla/buchla inspired. Of course there is ancillary stuff that can be done like a mixer, or semi-related stuff like a wogglebug but I think you see what I am getting at.

would they be buchla ish in look, or more serge-ish?

Serge-ish probably like STS/zthee looking or maybe paperface or both but using the 7x4.25 panel size and mounting style. There would be a jumbler style panel to convert 1/8" jacks to bananas to make them more compatible. Just an idea for now. I know I'd like to have some more serge stuff but more as a supplement than a full on seperate synth.

It's an interesting thought that I support. The only issue is that I think there'd be disagreement regarding what sort of Serge panels people would want in their system. For example, for me the CV controllers are the most desirable part of the DIY Serge realm. I'd love a VCS, maybe a DUSG, etc. That being said, I'm not really interested in another VCF, VCO, etc (although, as stated, the REQ would be fantastic). I bet there's people out there who feel the opposite of me and want serge modules that are more signal source oriented. All in all, this idea may end up being more trouble than it's worth for you. I'm planning on utilizing some blank buchla panels for a few serge ideas. This might be the easiest strategy.

Bumping this one and i wounder if its possible to use J3RK 291 pcb to make a 191 sharp cut filter as it has Lp Bp Hp outs ?
It would be a cool compliment to the 291.

The 191 is more like a moog ladder filter.
I think there aren't vactrols in it at all!

I would love a 191 filter, love this double panel layout

Will there be a re run of the original set of panels, can't believe I missed it, story of my life :(

If I remember correctly RSFC wants about 15 panels accounted for before he does a run so you may have to see if there's enough interest. He does have a few blanks left over.

On the note of additional modules, I know RSFC talked about a 208ish module at some point but I'd still like to see something like a dual Lanterman timbre. I'm not sure if that would be of interest to others though.

If there is enough interest I'd do another run of any previous panels. It looks like there is already enough interest to do another run of the 258 panels with the next batch.
