Muff's Modules & More

Hello to everyone!
Tomorrow I hope to receive the first assembled boards for 3 units in SMT format.
The depth is limited only by the Switchraft 112A jacks, so every cabinet will be able to accommodate the new revision units.
Unfortunately I was delayed for two weeks by fake TL074 quad opams. Some "clever" people succeeded to make fakes of the already cheapest opam. These fakes work, but much slower than they should, you can’t even make a buffer with them – the signal fronts will be eaten.
I will contact all the interested fellows when the units will be prepared.

I just found another cool trick with the Super Sawtor module and wanted to share it:

Using a Dotcom Q106 oscillator, which has simultaneous UP saw and DOWN saw outputs (or if your osc only has one of these, you can use a multiple and an inverter to create the missing one), patch the UP saw to the top half of the module and the DOWN saw to the bottom half and set the spread controls on the two sections to just slightly different settings. Try setting the spread control on the top section to "3" and the bottom section to "3.01". Now send these to separate VCAs to keep the signals separate and give them a slight stereo spread at the synth output or at the mixer. It's a massive detuned saw sound with an added hollow flange effect in stereo as the slightly different settings cause the positive & negative elements within the supersaws to partially cancel. Nice!

Received an e-mail from Igor that the SMT versions of the Super Sawtor are in stock. Placed my order this morning. w00t

Now all of you with modules from the original batch can go around talking about how you have the vintage Super Sawtors with a sound that the newer SMT version just can't replicate. hihi

I got my V2 Super Sawtor in the mail yesterday (but couldn't actually power it up till
today).

Sounds: GREAT! The closest thing to the Awesome Button yet. It's a very different
sound from either a wavefolder or a phaser (my other two favorite anti-filters).

The new design is REALLY shallow - most of the circuitry fits between the sidebends
of an MU-type front panel. The jacks are free-floating (short pigtails to the PCBs);
mine has the PCBs jumpered together with tie wires so it only uses up one Dotcom
power connector (I'm not sure if this one was made up this way special for me by
Igor or whether it's now Igor's standard).

And it sounds WONDERFUL. The new SMT units go from absolutely no
effect on the sound, up through Roland SuperSaw, to crazy detuned noise.

I'll try to get a Youtube video up. It's great.

Thanks, Igor!

I received my Super Sawtor module the other day and played with it today.

Outstanding.

Great price, fast shipping, excellent communication. Folks, this one's a no-brainer. Highly recommended.

Great work, Igor!

thumbs up

Good deal Russ! thumbs up

Is yours the newer surface mount one?

Is euro on it's way? hmmm.....

The Euro version is in development. The board is 90% routed. It takes considerable amount of time for me to do SMT routing as no auto route function and 6 layer pcb are used.
The target date of Euro version release is late September.

To add to the above patch:

Use keytracking so that low notes have less sawtor signal and high notes have more sawtor.
