Hey Isak,

Yes, that Rev 02 schematic is the latest and greatest (the only change I've made so far is to update the value of R5).

Happy building!

are you sure?
asking cause looking at your old 8k LFO scheme i see that C1 changed from 3300pF to 0.01uF.
and few resistors have changed as well.
i'm talking about this scheme..

i also want to add your cool sync scheme that i got from my other post.

is this the right way to do it?

one last thing...
can i output gate from the 8k LFO to gate say...ENV and to be able to control the gate speed with the rate pot?
if yes, please tell me from where?

thanks again Tim.

you killed me with that one Laughing

EDIT:

if i got you correctly the VER2 is a summing of the next 3 schemes, right?
the waveshapes i saw in your Tube clip was amazing!!
i want them so much Smile

Yeah, I may be a little confused on the changes, but the Rev 02 is definitely the latest one. And yes, the LFX is a hybrid of the TSQ and 2x TSW waveshapers. I highly recommend adding an LED monitor (with transistor or op-amp buffer) to get some idea of what the output is doing. Smile Also, you have the sync circuit hooked up correctly. Looks like you've got some fun building ahead of you!

I will want to add a led indicator, I will come home later on and post the led scheme I have.

About the gate out to trigger ENV etc...is it possible to have?

cheers Smile

this is the led scheme i have from you..
i guess i need to put it at the output, the "problem" is there is not only one output, maybe use a 4pos rotary switch and from there to the led scheme?

Well, I did few mods to the attached layout here with illustrator.
Didn't build this yet, the rate is like the original I guess Or maybe remove the fine tune? Don't know yet.
I changed the timing cap to 2 timing caps, dont remember the values, I think the values are 0.1uF and 0.001uF with a switch for high and low speed.
I'll upload the scheme and the modified board as soon as I can, not at home at the moment.
The mods are the add on led and 2 timing caps.

Cheers.

Hi flab.

Happy to hear you got this thing working Smile
What did you eventually did with the fine tune/tune?
Did you used one of the layouts that attached to this post or directly from the scheme?

Cheers Smile

added three led indicators
also i think to place an 1M pot at the R1 so i can play with the tri offset ,
if am not mistaken, as long as is at my breadboard ,

hi there, just got round to trying a layout on stripboard for the sync, wondering if anyone cares to check it,
note: the 6.8k would go to a switch/jumper for v+ or v-

also as was asked, can the diode be subbed (1n4148?)
thanks.
