Just the boards or the whole kit (e.g. http://www.matrixsynth.com/2014/08/nos- ... ctave.html)?

The kit would have some value mostly for the instructions and mounting bracket. The board itself is just 3 741 op-amps and worth about $10.

In case any of you in SoCal didn't hear about this tribute show in memory of Keith:

I plan on being there. This is the same hall where I saw the U.K. reunion a couple of years ago.

Discovering Keith and hearing BSS at age 13 led me to getting back into playing piano and begging my father for a loan to purchase a Minimoog D more than 40 years ago. I am definitely saddened by this news. Yeah - I think I first heard BSS in '75. For some reason, my sister had a copy (not her kind...

And, as I was very fortunate to know him in person, he was a really nice and funny and generous guy!

David - feeling severely bummed...

Just upgraded my 6 Plus to a 6s Plus and thought the 3D Touch would be great in apps like Filtatron and Animoog. Any news on this?

Thanks

Very nice sounding! The 'scope waves show the non-linear distortion the diodes add. You wrote the transformers were 10k/10k, which sounds like 1:1 voltage. Using germanium diodes, with their lower threshold voltage, helps in the circuit but I wonder if the transformers were 1:10 and 10:1 - making th...

I really need to get a pass for Winter NAMM 2015!!! Actually, with Ashville not too far from Nashville, maybe they'll have it at Summer NAMM.

I know they're going for an accurate re-creation, but I hope it will be able to use regular gates instead of the weird S-trigger.

The nice thing about that DIY 2600 is that you can build the case for it any way you like. I might even go as far as to make my of own face plate, polished aluminum or something like that. Now - all they need to do is make the PCBs available again. I guess they ran out of them. Not really since the...

Come and see the Show! (wish I could, but it's a bit of a drive from SoCal...)

Round 2!

That makes sense. The Mini and Modular keyboards are the same constant-current resistor chain as duo-phonic keyboards like the Arp Odyssey. If you tapped the voltage at the top of the resistor chain and subtracted it from it's normal voltage (3.6 mini, 5 mod), you'd have the 2nd CV. And, whenever it...

Good idea David... I might try that... but the "higher voltage" you mention doesn't come into it either... as I am using the Mini's keyboard circuit... which is still the 10volts it supplies to it's own contacts but now it's supplying it to the contacts of the 951 keyboard ....! Yes, but ...

OK. But 5 octaves means 5 volts across the keyboard when it was designed for 3.5v. I don't have time to trace it all out but maybe something in the Mini doesn't like the higher voltage. You can emulate this but just using the Mini with its keyboard but inserting 170 ohms (the 17 key difference times...

Tom, The keyboard voltage on the usual mono-synth, including the Mini, is directly affects by the power supply voltage so pretty much anything will throw it off. From this schematic http://www.fantasyjackpalance.com/fjp/sound/synth/synthdata/16-minimoog/001/907-cont-gen-key-schem.gif , it looks like...

A few thoughts: From the times I've met Michelle and seen her presentations, I have no question she's put enormous effort and time - and probably money - into promoting and building the BMF to show her dad's history and work. Here's a bunch of pictures I took back in 2009 at the Moog exhibit at the ...
