More panel designs

Under 4weeks to go for Uni.
Stress extreme
Mountain of work to do extreme
health poor, infact doctor told me i either have bacterial tonsilitus or glandular tho im trying to fight it and pretend i'm in health

anyway, before everything go so critical i worked on some more designs, here they are

Utility LFO and Dual Woggle w/ Ringmod additions


these still have my photoshop componetns on top unlike the others.
i'm a little unsure of the woggle design yet. it goes against my functional density ideas. I've never liked the serge style of packing the whole panel full. So i might push it out to 4U and give the knobs some more interface structure.

Next up is my cgs vco, which i am trying to fit into a dual panel. Ive worked on it a little and am starting to think that i'll use the bridechamber waveshaping design as an inspiration. Make the unit 4 or 5 U wide but fit 2 vcos in with a waveshape joining switch matrix like on the Utility LFO and perhaps some nice FM joining mods like on the buchla 259 vco.

Also coming is my dual ps3100 resonator which i have had some interesting throughs of combining into a stereo ps3100 with vc panning that is independant control or switched to one of the resonator cv inputs. I'll go into this a litte more later.

With a short time to go until School is over I am really looking forward to getting my design templates down so i can start building my modular. I am really excited about this new design concept i am heading towards, most modules are dual, designing the interfaces first then implementing the circuits to fit, all into a cool format that is totally unique.


quick addition
dual CGS VCO
still to add the interaction switches like fm and sync and waveshape join

2 months till my degree is over

I wont be making any more posts over the next 2 months, need to focus on my thesis and some other class projects that seem to have been squashed into the last portion of the year. sigh. I was so organised with everything and had projects rolling from the beginning and yet fate decides that working at the 11th hour to finish everything is the only way to go. Guess it shows that you should never get too far ahead of yourself, as no matter what happens the end will be a stress and you could have partaken in some more entertaining procrastination activities like partying with my friends.

So two months, and by that time ill have all my 808 components and case, and also have the pcbs for 808's partner in crime (mb828, consisting of sds3 boards and TH mps and some other bits :) ) I just need to etch the midibox sequencer boards from the ucapps site.

I finished the xoxbox for my friend rich last week. They really so sound awesome. I think the only real difference between then is the xoxbox controls are a lot easier to tweak than the 303 and therefore you can really feel that it is different. I thought this on my first play, but then once recorded it is pretty much spot on 303cid. Good stuff. I can't wait to build mine. I put my name down for the bcbox IO mods too. hehe

The next modules to be completed are the Buchla clones - LPG and QFG. Then Yusynth VCOs, digisound IO and some processor boards that i am designing which are kinda like the fonik attenunverting but with some tweaks and additions. I am ditching the Rusted steel front plates, i am going sort myself out with an electro-etching kit and make either alluminium ones or brass. I think alluminium. So ill keep ordering this stuff over the next 2 months but strickly no building. hehe.
