I'm not sure about the Oakley logo. Tony if you're around could you please provide some insight. The one in the middle here? http://www.oakleysound.com/index1.jpg I don't actually use it myself on my own panel designs. But it is used on the Krisp1 built Oakley modules, so it's probably best not to ...

Warning: Total nerdy post. So I have had a bit of time to look into the circuitry of the BBD-320. Of course, being surface mount I've not been able to trace out the whole schematic but I've looked at some of what I think are the important bits. The circuit as expected is very similar to the Roland....

I have notest that i used NPN 45v BC550CBU, but i also have BC550BB 1G.

Both BC550B or BC550C can be used in this project.

Just to make sure im not missing out, all the ics face the same direction on the main board right? Yes. All ICs are all aligned the same. Can you check that both RN3 and RN4 on the main board are the correct way around. Pin 1 should be in the square pad which is towards the top of the board. If all...

Still dont know what to do about the need to have all the load switch on leave (middle pos) and first (or any other) step on load on, for the sequencer to work. This is possibly a problem with the LOAD_A and LOAD_B signals from the main board. Measure the voltage at pin 13 of U3 on the main board. ...

A video - not mine - that shows quite nicely the basic sound:

Mine just arrived from Thomann. I've already taken it apart and had a bit of a look inside. The BBDs are V3207 running from 8V. From a quick inspection the circuit topology looks like the original, but I need to dig deeper before I can say for sure. There's way too much exposed mains voltage around ...

BUT only when step is on stage 8!
Rest of stages 1-7 of second row do not pass voltage...

I wonder whether resistor network RN3 is around the wrong way.

All ground pins are connected. It would be wise to check the voltage on any of the sockets' screw threads (or the metal panel if it is fitted). This should be 0V with respect to the 0V output on the power supply. Also measure the voltage on the 0VA test pin with respect to the PSU's 0V output. This...

i renember i run out of rl072acd and used 2 tl072acdr instead.
Can that affect performance?

Both parts should be the same. The R at the end indicates that the devices has been delivered to the supplier on a large reel.

Gate out works on both channels at a voltage of +5v if gate is and +12v if the switch is off? Gate off should be 0V and gate on should be +5V. Cv Out a2 goes from +12 volts with potentiometer next to CV out A2 al the way ccw and +15v if the pot is all the way clock wise. Cv Out a2 goes from -17 vol...

The Oakley Croglin, originally a 5U module, is now also available as a Eurorack module. The 10HP wide Oakley Croglin Voltage Controlled Filter (VCF) is based around two low noise 'Sallen-Key' filter circuits that operate either together or against each other. http://www.oakleysound.com/Croglin_e_1.j...

Blimey! How does that work, is it legit or is there a catch? Totally legit. They give you a redeem code for you to use at Waldorf's website. I just bought it even though I have a Blofeld. Download it from Waldorf first though to see if you like it. It'll run in demo mode until you've bought it and ...

http://www.oakleysound.com/Croglin_e_1.jpg The Croglin is now available for the Eurorack system. It's actually not quite the same circuit as the 5U version as I couldn't get a dual gang 1K pot in the smaller format that I needed. So this meant I had to completely redesign the cores of the filter. R...

Largo is available for a very cheap price at the moment:

64 bit only. I think it may be time to finally update my DAW and say goodbye to some of my favourite 32 bit plugs.

For me, it has to be the D-110. Sounded like the ROM-samples had died inside the unit and their zombified remains then came out moaning and wheezing whenever you fed them MIDI. No amount of layering or FX could breathe life back into those stiffs. The D-110 was the backbone of my musical output fro...

... so you just generate a fast attack long decay/release envelope to make a gate? You'll have to play with the settings as it will depend on the sample used. I think fast attack and no sustain, but a bit of decay and release. The sample you use should be really short with a fast attack and decay -...

is it possible to extract the midi clock in the mididac? Sadly not. If I were to specify a midi-CV convertor now I would include it but back then I didn't think it would be that useful. It's actually quite difficult to do really well, as you need to track changes in midi clock quickly but not too q...

OK, I have had another look and I think there is a NC lug and it is connected to the signal lug on the top side of the circuit board. This means to free the NC lug you'd have to remove the socket, cut the trace and solder the socket back. Not easily done as the socket's ground lugs are soldered to p...

do you think it's possible to make a simple wiring mod with actual jack sockets to have the 3 inputs normaled to each other? I don't think can be done easily, if at all. Ordinarily, to do what you're saying would need the normally closed (NC) lug of each input socket disconnected if it is connected...

I'm not an expert on the midi part of the TM3030 but I'll forward this onto Colin Fraser who wrote the firmware code for the TM3030's PIC. The code that the TM3030 uses is the same as the Sequentix midibass which is a retrofit midi interface kit for the Roland TB-303. I know that he has made several...

the Blofeld has repeatedly crashed on me. I'd swap it right away. I think mine has only frozen once in all the years I have had one. Mind you, I never use it in multi mode. The encoders are much improved with the latest OS, but they still jump values. No, it shouldn't do that either. Is it all of t...

I get 0.348 when release is maximum and -0.119V when release is minimum.

Right, that bit is working. Given those values it is quite possible that the 2180 is not working correctly.

I will order a new THAT2180 and give it a go when it arrives.

One more thing before you buy another THAT chip, what's the voltage across R37 as you vary the release control? That is, red lead on one end of R37 and black lead on the other end.
