anyone know where to find a schematic for the eh micro synth(the guitar one).thanks
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.
Man BIll I know I would LOVE to have a layout to use for this build.
What a fun box this one is!! :D
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 would like corrected micro synth schematics too.
Thanks in advance.
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.
-kdawg
SWT,
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!

A layout for the micro synth?!
I hope this will be posted soon... :)
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!!
Please put me in the list.

I have some space on my freewebs site if you don't have another offer for a placeto post it.
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!!!!
Doug
If I recall, swt showed me some mods that really brought more life to mine. If some one can host it I have some pictures of the DIY unit also.

Here's the pics.... http://www.freewebs.com/elroy2/
Oh I forgot about one thing, there are 4 pcbs, one is just the power supply. Francisco Pena did 1 of the 3 main boards. I hope he doesn't mind publishing it.
swt, do you want me to resend you the layout file to see if it is the latest or the same one I have?
Nice collection. I assume you can remember what all the knobs are for?
By the way, that's a terrific collection of Roger Mayer pedals in the last photo! :lol:
Anybody could e-mail me the files? I can't see sites in freewebs.com server. My e-mail is in the first page of the thread.
Hey Mark,
you want to see knobs.... check out the last picture I uploaded. I had to remove the funny flying pedals to fit the image because of space limitation.
Marcos I'll try and send you the files.
Thanks, Bill. I will check my e-mail.
Marcos, it bounced back as undeliverable
What is the size of the files? Hotmail can't get more than 2mb, and I have 30% of my inbox in use. Try munkydiy@yahoo.com
Mark seems like the old link doesn't show the last picture. Try this again..... http://www.freewebs.com/elroy2/
Hi Guys, if anyone doesn't mind sending it my way. Thanks alot.
BTW, remember, alot of non-registered users go through here. As soon as you get yours', delete your email address. Saves you spam, virus', and headaches.
huh.. long list, doesn't matter if I make it a bit longer:
uras007@go2.pl
thanX in advance...
Hi Bill,
The first pictures is still impressive, although I think I've seen it before!
Bye,
Joep
PS How's you back?
Hi joep,
yep, that's and old picture. I've probably posted it to may times :oops:
My backs ok, but I had to give up surfing.
Well that's it, Bill. My jeans are officially creamed. Of course, the Storm Tide is pretty much in the same state as my Hyperflange from the pictures, but what a sweet front panel.
Mark,
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.
Me too, please
dean.hazelwanter@sasktel.net
TIA
Please? :D
<email address removed>
If swt does chime in soon, I'll gather up the emails and send the layout file and parts list.
Ok, what the heck, I attepted to send it bulk mail and it bonced back or maybe just on gringo. I'm not sure.
Well, I got the bulk mail and just wanted to say: Thank you Bill, SWT and FP!
Best!
/Pelle Garpebring
Got it
Thanks. :D
i also recieved the bulk mail.as well as those formentioned i d like to thank aron for providing us with this cool site.
I didn't get mine. Did my email bouce too?
Could someone give it a go again for me?
stinkyfeet73@hotmail.com
Thanks![/quote]
Can I have the layout and schems,too?
Bil Bergman the first photo has ton of effects!
By the way you have coped the Boss GT-5 very well...it seems like the original... :) :)
Hi Bill,
I didn't get the bulk email either.
My email address is:
djmartins2 @ comcast.net
Please add me to this list.
thanks!
Doug
PS - Bill, that's some good work! It sure has a lot of knobs,
I'll have to label them if I make one.
To see how the original sounds, the EH website
has a lot of mp3s of it.
Please try at this mail:
<removed mail address>
Sorry for all the trouble :)
I have to try again from work tomorrow
when you try again tommorow could you include this e mail
freeradical25@yahoo.com
hotmail is giving me tons of problems.it wouldnt let me download before now i cant even get to my mailbox!
thanks
Hi,
Is it to late to get a copy of the EH Synth info???
Is there a site where it is downloadable, or is it only by email?
cheers
Frank
I would love to get a copy of the schem and PCB layout. I can put these on a server if it would help...
TIA!
- Mark, mark@avdb.com
awesome! thanks a lot Bill!
Bill,
Thanks for the MS information and layout.
Really nice work, Bill and Francisco.
Derek
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!
Doug
I used all CA3094's

ok guys. I've emailed you all. Also, i think munky is going to host this one. Hope you all get it. Let me know if someone missed it. Good luck!
Hi swt,
I've sent a bunch out already. Guess now we can see if we have the same version. :shock:
I hope I'm not too late for this... :cry:
Would somebody be so kind as to forward Bill's EH MS Schematics and Layouts to me? I will upload them to a webserver and post the link here for anybody else who needs them (with permission from Bill and all involved of course! :D)
Thanx a mill guys!
-HB (rmetzger@adelphia.net)
Thanks Bill!
Wow, these layouts that Francisco did are pretty good. Has Fp shown any interest to post this as a Tonepad project? It would be an awesome addition to an already outstanding collection of layouts.
-HB
Actually Francisco only did the first of the 3 main boards and I did the other 2.
I tried to match his style some what. I learned a lot from his great work.
so i take this fransisco fellow hasnt given us permision to use his layout yet?ive only recieved two and three.not complaining though just curious.
as a matter of fact thanks again!!!
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!

freeradical24,
there are 6 or so pages in the one .ppt file.
Hi,
I have 20 3080s, but not a single 3094....
So I do have an interest in subbing where I can.
thanks,
Doug
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...
I just saw this thread and would love to get a layout and schem.
Thanks.
bump for those late to the party
i actually saw the other pages.but all that is on them is text.
what software should i be using to open a ppt file?maybe thats my problem.
PB, I'll send it to you tomorrow.
Freeradical, you need to open it with Microsoft PowerPoint.
Hey swt,
I just noticed that on the file that I have been sending everyone that on the first page, second layout I have some traces in pink. Hopefully this not is a version I was woking on (along time ago when I did this) to corect problems. It might possibly be some correctins from information you gave me.
Is this the same on the one I sent you awhile back?
hey could i get a copy as well please?

I think they reference to the #'s on the schematic. I'll have to check.
Yep, there on the schematic.

.....btt......Monday and still hopeful for the schematic,Bill-thanks for your patience with me......dr........
DR, did you get it? I sent it several hours ago.
......Bill, I'm not home yet-I will be shortly.......I'll let you know when I get there and check it.....Thank you!....dr...
got it, Bill-thanks big bunches!....if there is anything I can do in return,let me know!........dr.....
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.
Could someone forward the file to me? Thanks ahead of time.
I'm not sure I'm ready for it, but I will give it a shot.
:shock: not to overwhelm your mail load, but i too would like to have the file!

Hey guys,
I sent a bunch of you a pdf of the schematic and unfortunately it was for the bass guitar version. I have the guitar version in a postscript file format only.

Thanks bill.
Now I have something else to occupy all of my non-existent free time.

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!
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.
Thank you.
After a little study, i think i will join the 3 main pcbs, and build another one
wich holds the twelve sliding pots, placed above the first. I'll post a draw.
I like to see the full corrected schem too.

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.
cheers

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!
If the zipfile is still available, could someone send it to me? Sounds pretty complex, but I've been wondering how these things work :)
travisskare (a-t) gmail.com
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!
Is it too late to have a copy of the PCB and schematics emailed to me at nlagwa77@hotmail.com

thanks so much, I love this community!
can some kind soul host this?
I think there are 2 reasons nobody's hosting this project.
Firstly, nobody wants the hassle of people emailing them for suppord.
Secondly, nobody wants the hassle of EHX emailing them with threats.
Besides, there are hundreds of people with the layouts now, but not one has come back to show any results.
Read into that what you will.
At your convenience, I'd love to see the layout. My e-mail is [protected from spamming bastards]

What's the level of building difficulty?
Advanced. Finding all the parts may be fairly difficult for people in some parts of the world.
I never build a PCb letter size.
Depending on the ICs ,I guess I have access to most OTAs,
but am not sure which others would be difficult to buy.
Greetings JME
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.
Stephen
Marcos,
Thanks, I emailed you with the e-mail address I found on your web page.
What size are the PCBs? I'm not sure of the scale from looking at the powerpoint file.

So what does the synth actually do? What does it sound like?
Has it been built, ie. is this layout tested?

Take a look (and listen) here (http://ehx.com/ehx2/Default.asp?q=f&f=%2FCatalog%2F24%5FSynthesis%2F04%5FMicro%5FSynthesizer).
You had to go and say no one ever built one didn't ya ;) http://aronnelson.com/gallery/3dm/MS1

I think there are 2 reasons nobody's hosting this project.
Firstly, nobody wants the hassle of people emailing them for suppord.
Secondly, nobody wants the hassle of EHX emailing them with threats.
Besides, there are hundreds of people with the layouts now, but not one has come back to show any results.
Read into that what you will.
Well Bill, i'd have thought everybody knew you'd built one, since you did most of the layouts!
I don't recall seeing anyone else having built one besides you.
p.s. You are a legend ;)
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...

Thanks Jaicen, but I'm only a legend in my own mind :icon_redface:
Thanks to SWT !!!! He provided the fixes and mods that really brought my Micro to life.
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!

Wish I could help, it's been to long ago. I did have some trouble getting it to work. Guess I just got lucky and had help from some of my old friends here.
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!

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.
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?

Hello everyone. Could someone please email me working schem and pcb of the microsynth?
san_gr@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot in advance!
hey, me too. please. i had one that someone mailed me, but have since lost it.
please! thanks!

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!
well...?
nobody has it???
or nobody wants to share it???
Ill put it up on my site this afternoon

Thank you very much! ;)
Thanks man!
I lost mine
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
wow Bill!! thanks to you for the pcbs. that was a long time ago, hah? when everybody were making fuzzes, we manage to get this one working...it was quite a project for me back then, have to say thank you again...
Hi ! :)
Can you give me the PCB layout please ?

Alex.
Up! ^^
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...
