SoundLab + + Finished at last

Skrog Productions

A Re-worked, condensed version of my soundlab+ due to start soon.
I cannot seem to lay down the soldering iron at the moment, long may it last he he Smile

.

Soundlab ++
extra things to be added to the previous plus version...
extra pwm / 2 sub osc's / ring mod / 8 chanel mixer (all waves & noise) / extra lfo and attenuators on all cv inputs.

here's a pic of the box (to be painted satin black) , panel has been drilled but needs the sticker lanced for the pots & switches & sockets.

Dave. Very Happy

Look's Brilliant, I really dig wooden case's!
like Isak said "i wish i new how to add sub osc's and extra lfo and extra envelope" is there some way you could enlighten us?
Also are you going to use a power supply?

Nice Work!

Soundlab + + finished, hurray, my wiring enthusiasm levels are low now but it's going to be a worthy addition to the diy collection.

From Soundlab + to Soundlab + +......

Cloned the PWM section of the soundlab vco 2 to give vco 1 PWM & pulse out.

Built a simple 8 Channel audio mixer (from ray's odd's & end's section). Mixer level pots for vco1 ramp / vco1 pulse / vco1 sub.
Mixer level pots for vco2 ramp / vco2 pulse / vco2 sub.
Mixer level pots for Noise & Ring mod.

Cloned LFO on Soundlab schematic to give LFO2.

Built on perf board 2 of Roman Sowa's Frequency dividers using just the divide by 2 & divide by 4 (switchable on/off mixed with divide by2).

populated Mfos micro S&H.

Built the simple Ring mod from Mfos site , the analog devices AD633, and 2 simple pre-amps to boost the soundlab ramps for its 10V p/p inputs.

Attenuators on every cv input, 4 per vco , 3 on the vcf , 2 on the vca, allowing to dial in very small modulations to give bass sounds as thick as a recently over fed anaconda Laughing

Here's some pics , sounds to follow later on.

Thanks for looking.

Dave
