Re: Gear you own multiples of.
I bought a Kurzweil MIDIBoard brand new in 1989. I do a lot of studio work and gigging with it. I bought a second one used eight years ago from eBay because it became too much work to drag it out of the studio. By then a used MB could be had for peanuts. So my #1 stays in the studio and the #2 is de...

Re: Favorite 80s rack mount digital reverb?
Eventide 2016 is the reissue of the classic SP2016 of the 1980s. I own three of those. They are great for short room verbs - something about this box lifts the source out of the mix. Works great for synths, percussion, and reverb. Zero menu diving, excellent all knob interface. Samples on my website...

Re: Sequential OB6 and P6 get MPE and P5/10 style 'vintage' function
Try it in unison mode. The "vintage" control models old poly analogs where the EG transients and VCF cutoffs are not consistent from voice to voice. Imperfections can be a good thing. They were especially prevalent in the old OB-X. Add variations in VCF EG modulation depth (more noticeable with deep...

Re: Understanding suitable transistor and opamp substitutions
Can you substitute a 2N2222 for a 2N2222A? Nope! Those suffixes are there for a REASON! Please share a circuit where the 2222 cannot replace 2222A? I built a string of LED drivers on a 15volt rail using 2N2222s. All the 2222s were full on and would not switch off. Changing the circuit from 15 to 5 ...

Re: Understanding suitable transistor and opamp substitutions
There is no single perfect opamp, they all have tradeoffs. TL08x has lower offset errors than TL07x. I use those in CV circuits to minimize drift. TL07x have lower noise so they are optimal for audio circuits. LF35x has even lower offset errors and has a better output stage for driving a capacitive ...

Re: learning electronics through youtube
he used P=V^2/R, or P=V*I, both of which are correct, unless I was looking at the wrong thing. He lost me when when he used electron flow, instead of current flow. Don't do that, stick with conventional current flow like everyone else. You have to use P=I^2 times R. The I^2 term is the crucial one,...

Re: learning electronics through youtube
Wrong formula for calculating the power through a resistor. There's a reason why the correct one is crucial. They hammered that in our heads during EE 101.
I don't have a comprehensive list, when I saw that one I stopped watching.

Re: Questions on the Prophet 5
The Z80-equipped Emu 4060 polyphonic controller preceded the P-5 by a year. In fact, Dave Smith developed the P-5 firmware on Emu's Z80 development system (the P-5 was a co-development effort between Emu and SCI).

Re: Explanation of how modules "putting noise on the ground" bus?
This is a pretty good resource on Eurorack power distribution that discusses ground noise GenusMod.com One of the worst sources of digital noise is scanned LED switching - higher currents than most ICs. You have to decouple the supply rail to the LEDs. If that isn't included in the design of a modul...

Re: A quick CEM/AS3310 question...
Yes that is how the 3310 behaves.
Some synths such as the Memorymoog use additional circuitry to implement an unconditional mode, IE it forces the 3310 to go through all the ADSR stages regardless of early release of the key.

Re: R.I.P. LM3046: byebye affordable temp stabilized VCO's
No I don't... from the convention of the other reissues, I'm guessing it will be faithful to the original. I don't think we'll see a tempco at the substrate level though, unless Rossum has something clever up his sleeve... I wouldn't call the reissues "faithful to the original"... pin swaps, signif...

Re: R.I.P. LM3046: byebye affordable temp stabilized VCO's
While the original SSM2030 was not temperature compensated (the tempco resistor was external), it's worth pointing out that the architecture of the 2x30 VCO is identical to the Rossum-designed VCOs in the Emu modulars, and in the Oberheim SEM and OBX. They are very stable in my FVS and OBX. Interes...

Re: ARP Omni 2 - slide pots?
Temperature regulated soldering irons such as Weller are mandatory for working on ARP synths. Normally I set the iron at 700deg. I tried it at 650deg while working on ARPs and that seems to work well without lifting PCB traces.
