hum.. the Even VCO comes with all smd pre-soldered, right?
at least as far as can remember.

Nice!
I remember the SSSR Labs' waveshaper to include a few specific chips like уд708 and kp159ht1

Well, if you install a power jack instead of a blind cap in the upper right location next to the resonance pot, there is still the option to power it from an external AC/DC adapter.

I think I will change R2 in the input amplifier to 15k for less gain... would that be ok?

On the smd version I went even further and replaced it with a 1k resistor. Much better when using eurorack level at input.

There is an equivalent brick with lower leakage is the GSM60B15-P1J. Thanks! If I can't find another workaround I might try to replace the brick. "getting a small electric shock" Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm getting zapped everytime I touch the case. But when plugged in, you can definitely...

Thanks Graham for your answer. The external switching PSU cable has an earth connection: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/userpix2/42244_images_1.jpg But indeed nor the case chassis neither the 0V is earthed. I better understand the floating system and how it could become a safety hazard, looking a...

I would check for AC volts between the case and ground on an electric outlet. I don't read much but I am not properly equipped to measure AC. Probably stray voltage. Do not use this case until you can determine what the source is. It’s a safety hazard! Really? Since the adaptor 220V AC -> 15V DC is...

I have a newish MacBook Pro, late 2018,(IG not so new anymore) and there has always been this wierd feeling on the surfaces, kinda feels like a small bit of electricity flowing, and as my finger tips slide across the surface they are "attracted" and experience a bit of resistance to the physical mo...

Hi, I bought myself a new skiff case with built-in PSU like this one: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/userpix2/42244_16958_eowave_3u_skiff_104hp_incl_psu_4_1.jpg Whenever I connect it's AC/DC 15V adaptor (a MEAN WELL GST60A15-P1J included in the box) to the case, I can feel a very unpleasant sensa...

Hey there!
Any news on the full kit?

There is also Frequency Central CEM3340 based VCO http://www.frequencycentral.co.uk/?p=2150

Well the build in itself is good to learn SMD, 0805 is where you want to start.
But beware as the design suffers from the well known pwm issue.

can't wait to build it!

If you are ordering from Thonk, this is what I use: https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/ribbon-cable-24awg/
My build is displayed page 31. This was my very first DIY module build.
Just don't get PJ302M jack like I did, they don't fit in the case. I had to replace them with something else.

Yes you can solder components on the back of the board, just make sure the pins match expected holes. I've done that a few times, AFAIR film and electrolytic capacitors I ordered which packages didn't fit on the boards. That being said, the price of common transistors like 2N3906/2N3904 is ~0.05€ if...

Maybe they changed their supplier? The ones I got a few month ago where fine.

Same as @infinitemachinery. Use very little solder on a small tip (I am using 578-ETK). Carefully place the IC and solder a first corner. Before going on with another corner make sure the pins are perfectly aligned. then I proceed one pin at a time, very few solder, put the iron tip on a pin and dra...

if you went for smallbear, I hope you didn't follow the link by @TheMentat that was pointing at 16mm linear & audio tapers. The sample & hold module needs a reverse audio taper which is this link instead.
For the 9mm mixer potentiometers, his link was ok.
What did you choose as knobs?

There is one seller on amazon.fr which is offering one for almost 50€. I bought one last year from him for around half that price, not sure why the price doubled since then. Maybe try to contact him and negogiate.

You know you have hard water if all your dishes are covered with stains after cleaning and drying. Glass walls in the shower also become a nightmare.

can you post a video of the issue please?

imho one of the most important feature for a modulation/lfo is the ability to sync/reset with phase offset. Not many modules around with this feature.

pretty nice!
I can easily imagine doing a Rank 1 cover with this.

wait, 3*7 oscs? can you make lush pads?

I feel you, it's a pain when things go not as smooth as planned.
Still it is nice to have this update, no worries for delay.
