    Today i finished the sample and hold circuit and works like a charm. Now i have this great idea i like to share but i do not know how to approach this. What if..... we would add voltage per octave tracking so that the random notes/voltages are played in minor or major or other musical scale? A random minor/major like sequencer.? I hope someone or maybe Mr Holmes himself could use this. Have a nice day

    The legendary Bob Pease called breadboards 'the white slab of trouble.' I'm not sure I'd go to quite this much work. I don't know how often I need a 10 ppm match. (I usually use emitter resistors, which hides some of the mismatch.) The last batches of DMMT5401's and DMMT5551's that I got in all seem to have a Vbe match within about 300 microvolts (The data sheet says 1 mV typical, 2mV max, so maybe I got lucky, or maybe their production process is better than they claim.) Having both transistors in one package is convenient. I solder it into a breakout board, epoxy a tiny RTD on the back of the package, and glue on a piece of blue foam. An opamp and a couple of resistors, and I have a temperature compensated matched pair suitable for a 1000:1 log converter. For currrent mirrors and current references, I really like the REF200. Searching for transistor matches for that application is worth a lot more than ten bucks of my time.

    Very nise! I also have a DSO 138, I have long wanted to combine it with my experiences with music and homemade devices (I absolutely agree with you that initially it does not look presentable) But there are several not good moments in it. These are slide switches and tact buttons. They were initially of disgusting quality. Although they still work today, but with deviations. I will also upgrade the oscilloscope. I have an idea to make something like my own form factor. Similar to Eurorack but a little smaller. The useful area of the box is 34.5 by 28.5 centimeters. Yes, it’s very small, but that’s the beauty of it. The box itself is an all wooden box in excellent condition from a portable reel to reel tape recorder. With a chic, massive, fold-back stainless steel handle. This box will contain a simple set of homemade and converted modules. The front panel is styled to resemble instruments from the 60s and 70s. Micro knobs (turned from aluminum) and mini potentiometers are many original ones from the times of the USSR. From the mixing console "Venets 32-01". Something like this. You have an interesting channel! Subscribed! I wish you Health, Love, Goodness and Happiness! Шикарно! Тоже есть дсо 138 давно хотел его обьеденить со своми опытами с музыкой и самодельными устройствами (абсолютно согласен с Вами что изначально он выглядит не презентабельно) Но и есть в нем несколько не хороших моментов. Это ползунковые переключатели и тактовые кнопки. Они изначально были отвратительного качества. Хотя по сегодня работают но с отклонениями. Буду тоже осциллоскоп модернизировать. У Меня есть мысль сделать что-то типа своего форм фактора. Аналог еврорэка но немного меньше. Полезная площадь ящика 34,5 на 28,5 сантиметров. Да очень маленькая но в этом и есть прелесть. Сам ящик это полностью деревянный ящик в прекрасном состоянии от переносного катушечного магнитофона. С шикарной массивной складной назад ручкой из нержавеющей стали. Вот в этом ящике и будет простой набор самодельных и переделанных модулей. Передняя панель стильлизованна под приборы под 60-70 года. Микро ручки (точёные из аллюминия) и мини потенциометры ест много оригинальные со времён СССР. От микшерного пульта "Венец 32-01". Как то так. У Вас интересный канал! Подписался! Вам Здоровья,Любви,Добра и Счастья!

    I'm currently building something similar to this, actually I'm building my own version of Wintergatan's Modulin :D I recently discovered an interesting meta of using a force sensitive resistor strip *underneath* the softpot to give you a certain level of pressure sensitivity, then use that to gate the output from the softpot. It also means you don't need the pullup resistor on the softpot, which means you get a linear output, and also don't get the pitch rising or falling rapidly when you release your finger :D

    Hi Rich, thanks for your great video! I stumbled across this while working on my own design of a power supply in the same vein as the FC-Power and MFOS one you've built. I will definitely be replacing the diode for the positive regulator as you've identified. Another thing to note for people looking at these designs is the revision to the MFOS design in which 2.4K load resistors were added to each output, after a MFOS reader reported that the negative regulator requires a 3mA load to start regulating. The FC-Power design has an LED in series with a 1K resistor on each output, which I believe remedies this same issue, with the added benefit of providing a status indicator. Rich- I see you have LEDs for your rails, and I assume this is how you've wired them.

    • @analog_output
      @analog_output 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's right. I have one FC power supply and two of mine (gitlab.com/rsholmes/ww_supply) based on the MFOS design. Both have on-board LEDs that serve to show power is on and to provide a load for the negative regulator. Of course most modules will draw more than 3 mA on the negative rail but not all, and then there's testing the PSU before connecting it to any modules; then you'd need it. I also use power display modules that have LEDs on the front panel (since you can't really see the PSU in a full synth case!).
