Nice! I’m interested (and it’s good to see you’ve explored the Ambika as well).
Cheers

Re: [Ordering Closed] Gene Model I Drum Synth
Gene really seems like an awesome and original machine. It’s the power section that scares me. I would actually have preferred a wall wart.

Re: Phoenix / Shruthi wasp filter build DISPLAY issue
I’d just like to add that there are still tons of useful information and guides related to Shruthi/Ambika/Anushri on the legacy Mutable Instrument pages for discontinued products:

Re: OPERA ROTAS, a DIY mutant drum machine BUILD THREAD
Wow,
all of the above sounds great! Any reason for going with 6n138 instead of 6n137?
Edit: the reason I’m asking is that I’ve seen several recommendations for 6n137 over 6n138, e.g. https://forum.mutable-instruments.net/t ... plers/5255
Happy (better) new year

Re: OPERA ROTAS, a DIY mutant drum machine BUILD THREAD
Agreed. In this case the required patching is so minimal that a small chiclet adapter that plug into the 4n35 together with bridging/removal of the then unnecessary R1/R17 resistors will work a charm (but it will add a little height). The good thing is that the majority of the existing pcb wiring fo...

Re: OPERA ROTAS, a DIY mutant drum machine BUILD THREAD
Below are some excerpts of the Opera Rotas current use of 4n35 vs common use of 6n137 optocoupler. As I proposed, a small adapter and some hardware patching would be needed to re-assign pins and some of the output circuitry, but I guess it should be manageable using a small protoboard. Then of cours...

Re: OPERA ROTAS, a DIY mutant drum machine BUILD THREAD
That's what I'm referring to as hardware patching. That part is not hard to do. B If I'm not mistaken (I may very well be) it could be feasible to replace the 4n35 with the more commonly used 6n137 optocoupler. This would of course take some hardware patching, but it would not have to be a completel...

Re: Another little somthing I've been working on: DR110 inspired 6 voice drum module
Thanks, I totally understand. I was mostly curious about the tweaking capabilities (e.g. bass drum and clap) compared to the stock dr-110 sound. Cheers Any chance of a demo?

Any chance of a demo? Cheers I’ve got a track finished up utilizing the prototype of this module where I’m manipulating the kick pitch and it makes a world of difference. Also the spread function on the clap is just fantastic. It really opens up the prospect of church claps and similar sounds. This ...

Re: Adding midi in to my Yamaha PSR-E413
An option mat be to use the Highly Liquid UMR2 board. From what I know it was originally designed for this kind of task but I guess it’s somewhat old, unsupported and poorly documented by now.

Re: LM4250CN replacement.
Hi,
An alternative might be to go with the original Polivoks chips and some modifications of resistor values as mentioned in https://mutable-instruments.net/archive ... /polivoks/ (not sure about what does values should be though).
Ericasynth sells k140ud12 (corresponding to UA776).
