Muff's Modules & More

Sorry to be hijacking the thread, but as it's all banana relevant, I hope it's ok.

I just got a couple of SPDT/CO switches for my BZ.
For some reason, I just can't seem to "get" how to wire it up.

Sorry, as I know the BZ has been discussed to death in this very thread, but the actual wiring still escapes me.

The switch has three lugs. Which go where?

In the case of the BZ its going to use a SPDT as a "2 in, 1 out"

You have 3 wires to connect to it. 1 from the banana & 2 from pads on the board. The clock input pad is connected to the middle lug of the switch & the other 2 go on either side, hope that makes sense hmmm.....

My new DIY self esteem boost kicked in today, and I tackled the 3P.

Stripping away the daughterboard and wiring up those inputs!

New members to the team, KW and MP, meeting up with the newly finished BZ.
(note the remains of the minijack 3p laying at their feet!)

Probably not that exciting to anyone, as these are available in banana anyway, but this what I did last night (minus the DAD).

Hope I'll be able to replace those military greens with something a bit more... bug-friendly, soon.

You machine!

Wunderbar!
(good to see the bugmodules taken back to their proper ways!)

What an odd journey those have taken!

Love the pile of discarded Blacet minijacks in the corner of the pic! applause

This thread is great info for a newbie, thanks for the sticky!

Just to wake up this thread a little...I've been successfully bananafying (bananifying?) the following modules the last few days (all frac):

Bananalogue VCS
Encore Freq Shifter
2xPlague Bearer
Blacet VCO
Blacet Freq Divider (old version)
Oakley RM-4014 Ringmod
Metalbox/CGS Dual Real Ring Mod (in rack ear)
Metalbox/CGS ASR (in rack ear)

If someone's interested, I could post pictures and some comments regarding encountered peculiarities (but don't have the time today).

anyone had any experience with banana-fying the frac frequesnsteiner? i don't have one, but might have a chance to pick one up to play with the BugBrand!

I've had one of these for a while. I gather it was not a wildly popular module but I like it.

It just needed some compression! applause

Now what do you think?

^ You read my mind in regards to panel-width.

Nice solution for the effect type legending. thumbs up

Does it really sound that nice?
I was kind of turned off by the digital multi-effects concept,
but I understand putting them in earlier parts of a patch
might be the context that can make this cool.

There are cheesier digital effects out there. It does have some of the hallmarks of a dinky little digi unit but it's useful. The fact that it has a clip LED and level controls for in and out makes the limited headroom very easy to live with. The 2 echo modes and the reverb are what I use the most. I have this and a spring reverb in my portable and they complement each other well. The 3030's reverb has a very neutral color to it and a touch of graininess. Real different from the spring. With each reverb on a different patch there's nice separation and sometimes I use them together on the same patch. The max echo delay time seems a tad longer than the 1 sec it's supposed to be. Modulating that rate produces little ticks but the other CVs work pretty cleanly. For live hands-on playing I like that I can adjust an effect, reverb and level all in one place.

anyone know the precise diameters for panel holes for the standard 3.5mm jacks vs the bananas? I know the 3.5mm holes can be reamed out pretty easy, but curious about what the actual delta is

Contemplating removing all of my Blacet panels and replacing them with some home-made ones, with banana jacks. A little bit terrified to do so though, I am very inexperienced with DIY.

i'll never get over how tits this filter sounds.

otoskope · Posted: Wed Apr 17, 2013 7:34 pm Post subject:

Yes, my favorite, too! Along with the Bugbrand SV filter. One nasty, one elegant.

You can use the Borg as a great LPG, as an fx (great distortion), as an oscillator (screeeeeaming), and as a VCA (waste of space). And - as a FILTER! SlayerBadger!

Final Filter - half size It's peanut butter jelly time!

The downsizing requires giving up the EG ouput and the switch for LFO/AD mode.
