Hi,

The schematic is out there in a few places.
What I'd like to find is a good pcb layout of this!
Anyone?

regards,
Doug

.i second that.im still a newbie and im sure this ones going to be harrowing.
to expensive not to build though.

I have the layout/pcbs, but were made by bill bergman. We should better ask him for permission before sending to anyone. Bill??.
It works ok using his pcbs, but i have to correct the schem because it has some errors. If you want the schem, i can email it to you, just send me your email addresses.

Same here, except the bass version... I'm sure it's just a few things here and there that I could figure out... looking at the schematic and thinking of a good PCB layout is boggling for my beginner's mind.

I have a Bass Microsynth.. I got schematic PDFs from http://www.harpamps.com/schematics - are those pretty close? I wanted to know the differences between the bass and guitar microsynth, according to these schematics, 1 resistor and 3 capacitors. I wanted to add a switch on mine so I could use it with guitar too.

Anyone else know if that's all I would need? I don't have a guitar microsynth to check it out.

if you have the layout I made please feel free to distribute it. I can't remember if it had been corrected to fix the errors in the schematic.

I modded a guitar MS for bass just by changing the value of those caps - they improve the tracking in the lower octave, so going back the other way should work fine also. Didn't notice the resistor value difference though!

Does it have any unusual parts?

ok!!. I'll need all your emails in this thread so i can make a chain mail, with the pcbs, schem and corrections. Maybe someone can host it for a while, with Bill approval. One thing is email exchanging of ckts, another completely different, to post it freely on the net. Ask Bill about host, or else, post you addresses, and wait...
this is a very interesting and useful project. Feel free to ask me about debugging, etc. good luck!!

Bahahah!

I see I started something!
I swear Bill B must have put a lot of time
into making a layout for this beastie.
Here is my email address:

djmartins2 AT comcast.net

Would it be too much to hope it was done in Eagle PCB?
Then I can fire it out to my OLD DXY-800 straight to
blank copper!

I think would be a great (but complex!) DIY pedal,
especially since I'd like to find some GOOD slide
pots to make one with!

thanks Bill!!!!

thanks, actually that's an old picture. I finished it last year. It works great but without an idea of what the original sounds like, I'm not sure it if it's exactly right. I still need to try the stereo function of it. I made the panel in corel draw and printed it on photo paper.

Hi all,

I just received the two files, thanks a lot Bill.
I must say these layouts are excellent,
but that's not a surprise as all the layouts I've seen
from both sources have been excellent.

I went over the parts list and had a silly moment.
This thing uses SIX ca3094s!
Small Bear has them at $4.75 each....
Did y'all use ca3094s or did anyone sub them
out for ca3080e?
If so, don't you need to add two 2n5088s for
each ca3080?

This one looks like a great project to impress
my wife with! *grin*

thanks to all involved!

Post by: uncle boko on April 03, 2004, 06:12:38 AM
It really isn't that difficult to build on stripboard so long as you watch what you are doing, I've done it twice (I don't have layouts unfortunately). I would recommend using CA3094 where required, from memory some can be replaced by CA3080, but I am not at home today so don't have access to my circuits. Perhaps if just pins 2,3,5 & 6 are used then a 3080 will do, but let's have a second opinion.

Incidentally, this weekend we are in England's seat of learning - Oxford, my wife is at a language teachers' conference and I have come along for the ride!

Title: micro synth
Post by: Maneco on April 03, 2004, 05:35:30 PM
well,tou can sub all of them,many won´t need anything extra,and others will need the two transistors buffer,as seen on the ca3094 datasheet,if i remember well,the one on the envelope generator and the three on the low pass filter...all the others take the output before the transistor buffer,so you can use directly a ca3080...

Hi Bill, how's things? Could you please mail me your microsynth stuff, I may be able to offer some help with any problems which may arise here. I saw the Yardbirds last night, just 2 original members left but a great show.

Great project and great job for PCB  :D

Bill, you have a nice collection of DIY effect  :shock:  :D  What is the box you use for this project, it's seem perfect  :)

Someone have other photos of a finish Microsynth ? ASAP i post my finish project  :D

Good luck all, it a challenging build. Pay attenion to the different power hookups on each of the 3 boards. If I recall it requires positive, negative and isolated ground.

Quote from: kdawgI have a Bass Microsynth.. I got schematic PDFs from http://www.harpamps.com/schematics - are those pretty close? I wanted to know the differences between the bass and guitar microsynth, according to these schematics, 1 resistor and 3 capacitors. I wanted to add a switch on mine so I could use it with guitar too.

Anyone else know if that's all I would need? I don't have a guitar microsynth to check it out.

-kdawg

i can't see them! can u tell me in wich board are they?

Thank you!
Title: micro synth
Post by: toneless on June 11, 2004, 07:26:52 PM
There are three different caps at the the "first" schematic and one resistor at the "second" page.

Here they are:

C8  1uf      |  2.2uf
C9  0.47    |  1uf
C10 0.056 |  0.1
R69 2.2K   |  12K
Guitar       |  Bass

I think the Bass Version will sound better for guitar.

Hi,

Is it possible to use LM13600's in place of the CA3094's?

Are'nt 13600 two 3094's in the same box??  I understand that I'd need to hardwire something, and that they're not a pin for pin replacement.

Post by: StephenGiles on June 20, 2004, 01:54:41 PM
A few years back I breadboarded a Space Drum using LM3600 instead of CA3094. It needed a bit of thought for a few hours, but the principle of operation was similar. Unfortunately I never drew the circuit because I did not see any use for it other than 80s revival silly disco stuff which I'm not in to. To be honest you might just as well pay your money to buy the proper chips!

Title: things i don't understand...
Post by: mugan on June 20, 2004, 03:40:50 PM
Well i've studied alot this scheme and the pcb's by bill (thank you again), so this is a list of things i'd like to discuss about, for anyone's goodness:

- the power the circuit needs is +9v for v+ and -10v for v-, so how can i obtain that using the normal 9v adapter, instead of a 24 vac adapter?

- the first pcb has a dot named "OUT" but on the scheme there's no out in that point

- R105 is present in pdb 1 and in pcb 2 is it an error?

- SWT says in the ppt file:  "All diodes 1n4148" does it refer to ALL or not?

- i don't understand the switching in the schemathics, looks like the input from the in jack goes first on the pcb then to the switch, the same for the output.... maybe the original unit doesn't use a dpdt as usual?

- Transistors : do i have to buy the ones on the scheme? what about this "Also...interesting, the fet is a bf245a, and it goes, source to V+, gate to pin 1 of ic 18, and drain to 12k resistor to V-" Wich one do u refer to?

- "R97 and pin 2 of ic 14 connects to ground" this is corrected on the pcb

- "From pin 1 to gorund of ic 8, there's a 10k resistor, so that pot becomes the result of the paralell 10k and the 100k pot"  dunnow how to do!

-!There's a 10k resistor between R105, and connection 1 on the pcb, so that's lifting the earth at the output of ic 1 by 11k" where is ic 1 ?

that's all.... hope someone can help!

Post by: StephenGiles on February 27, 2006, 01:42:35 PM
The secret of building this amount of ciruitry is to build it a section at a time and make sure that it is working, or at least doing something. There are guides on the circuit as to what should be happening in the control cirutry when a string is plucked - like opamp outputs going high or low. The most difficult section I found was the VCF. I have only built the Mk 1 version by the way, and the VCF is very poorly drawn in my view. Also, forget the power supply when building, I found 2 PP3s sufficient for testing purposes.

thanks to bill and francisco at tonepad, and many others like munky, i'm one of those who've built it, plus i was the one who made the corrections of the original schem, by tracing a real one. there's a lot of effort envolved in this project, and it works!!!. time has passed since i've built mine, and i've never use it, mainly because i use other synths of my own, with lots of web ideas, that worked better for what i do. so i've converted it to bass synth, and now my bassist is really happy with it. only 3 or 4 caps and a resistor changed, and it's supposed to work better for guitar also. if someone is interested, go build it. it's hard, specially the troubleshooting. and you'll have to do it. there's always a mess up somewhere. ( excuse my english...). just be suer you will use it, because it's an expensive project. also you don't need to use all the ca3094 in all stages, just the one that use the buffer, the rest can have ca or lm 3080. take a look at the datasheet and you'll realise which ones use it or not. Good luck, and happy building...

Title: Re: micro synth
Post by: soffa on March 09, 2006, 10:28:50 PM
All right....

I started to build this, and I'm in the troubleshooting phase. I've noticed a few things in the schematic that I don't understand. Maybe someone can shed some light on this for my electronics-ignorant self. Let's look at, say, IC A18 on the schematic. I am assuming that this is one of the ICs that could be replaced by a 3080. If I look at the schematic/layout, it seems like the output of the OTA (Pin 6) isn't connected to anything. Also, what seems like it should be the place where the output is connected in the schematic is connected to Pin 1 of the IC, which is an NC in the 3080 and the inhibit input in the 3094. What gives? It dosen't seem like there should be any output from the OTA in this configuration. (and there isn't in what I have completed so far, which is why I'm asking!  :icon_redface:)

Thanks!

Well, Bill - if yours works and you used the layouts that you made, I probably made soem other little mistake. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it totally yet. I just want to understand how the circuit works - it seems funny to me!

Title: Re: micro synth
Post by: Bill Bergman on March 09, 2006, 11:06:05 PM
I probably had to run jumper to pin or two or something like that. Guess you could use a signal probe to find where it stops. Besides using the signal probe I also used to use a very unscientific way of finger shorting across different parts of a circuit for a quick way to pinpoint an area that might need to be jumpered or probed futher.
Title: Re: micro synth
Post by: soffa on March 10, 2006, 06:09:58 PM
all right, I think I figured out the answer to my own question. Because I'm cheap, I'm using 3080s in any place where they're appropriate (if only I would have stocked up on 3094s ten years ago....). Looking at the data sheet, Pin 1 of the 3094 essentially gives you access to the output of the OTA before the darlington transistor stuff at the end. In the micro synth, the schematic is drawn to use 3094s in all the positions, so to use a 3080 you would have to put a jumper from Pin 6 to Pin 1 of any 3080s you sub into this circuit.

At least, that seems to be what makes mine work...

On another note: I have had this great idea for about two years that I've been sitting on. I was planning on taking an AD633 multiplier chip and making a little ring mod with an Exar XR80308 function generator. Then I saw the schematic for the EH Frequency Analyzer. Oh well - someone already came up with this 25 years ago! Now I was thinking that I'd build it in the same case as the micro synth and incoporate some crazy mixing/routing options for lots of weird sounds. Any comments?

 Yeah, I hunted and searched, maybe I missed something, but I never found the layouts... I have had the schem. forever, but it's a MONSTER! Ot, but I just scored a g-77 and gr-77b setup, so I'm diving into the bass synth world headfirst... hehe!

Tell us how your builds go!
Ive got mine built, I just have to work out how to fit a ca3080 and transistor into a ca3094 socket.

It really isn't that difficult to build on stripboard so long as you watch what you are doing, I've done it twice (I don't have layouts unfortunately). I would recommend using CA3094 where required, from memory some can be replaced by CA3080, but I am not at home today so don't have access to my circuits. Perhaps if just pins 2,3,5 & 6 are used then a 3080 will do, but let's have a second opinion.

Incidentally, this weekend we are in England's seat of learning - Oxford, my wife is at a language teachers' conference and I have come along for the ride!

second opinion? http://yfrog.com/64schematqj

The diy layout design is about twenty pages long and put together by ten different people.  You would need a suitcase to house it.

I'll see if I can dig it up...
