It's ALIVE!!
I powered up for the first time tonight and it seems everything runs fine first try!!
One of my switches is wired backwards and there's the LFO -> Noise bleed through, but apart from that we have lift off.
I'll send the stripboard layout to Ray ASAP so you can check it out. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

That looks really complicated lol (sorry i'm a newb i know!).
I would love a strip board diagram and a parts list of what you used - that would give me a flying start...
all i would have to do was solder hmm.... sounds promising _________________ www.myspace.com/stevewestonmusic

That's beautiful Unkle-k!
Are you gonna light it up from within? That perspex front panel looks so nice too. You can get really nice UV led's these days.
Any chance of a view of the front too? _________________ ACHTUNG!

Hi Tom,
Yeah I'm going to embed the LEDs in the perpex. I used to be able to get those UV LEDs really cheap when I was at Jaycar, but now I can't afford them. I've a stock of blue ones which I'm gonna use instead.
I'll hold off on the front panel shot until it's all lit up. That might motivate me to finish it sooner. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Nice work Uncle K! A true inspiration in budget synth building... I may one day have to follow in your footsteps and build a second Soundlab -- this time using stripboard! Considering that you have already come up with a working layout, it shouldn't be too difficult. As you say, its the panel wiring that's trickiest. |

Hey Vort,
Yeah, I've already got a version 2.0 of that layout with a S&H in the top left corner. Or you could add the board I'm building now which is just the two extra VCOs and a more elaborate S&H.
I love designing stripboard layouts. Partly because it's cheap, but mostly for the challenge of it. If you ever want a good DIY project laid out for stripboard, and you think that others might want to build it too, just point me at the schem. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

Thanks Uncle, I'd definately be interested in your extra board with the 2 VCOs and S&H. Have you already posted a version of this?
I'm about to embark on a long term modular project and I'm sure there will be plenty of stripboard based modules. So your offer of help is much appreciated. When I have time, I'll start experimenting with module designs and will let you know if I come up with anything worth stripboard-ing.
There will certainly be room in my modular for a couple of Soundlab VCOs. Plus I'm a big S&H fan (as I'm sure many people here are!). |

Your Patch sockets should work well, Uncle. I'm going to add some sockets to mine soon, but they'll be minijacks which I happen to have around (they'll also be compatible with another synth I have). I'm going to put them on the back of my case away from the front panel -- I agree, its nice to keep the front panel clean, but the flexibility and fun that patch points allow is well worth while, 'specially when you start mating different synths and machines together. Hope to post a photo when done. |

Uncle K,
Looking (and sounding) very good, indeed!
When, oh when, am I going to build my Soundlab?
Cheerios,
Scott |

You must be cheating and do some checking while you build ...
It doesn't look like a mess to me, it looks good, it's just a lot of wires. When you tie 'm up a bit it will look like less wires - but you might have more crosstalk then, things have a price _________________ Jan
also .. could someone please turn down the thermostat a bit.

I always check while I build. That's not cheating, that's just part of trying to get things done.
Hmmmm,... Crosstalk. I don't think crosstalk is such a bad thing. If I wanted no crosstalk I'd sell my soldering iron and go buy a G2! It's like when I was reading Ray's description of the noise generator for the SoundLab, he says you should cut off the collector from the noise transistor: -
Quote: | the collector acts like an antenna and unless you WANT radio signals in your white noise |
First thing I thought was, "of course I want radio signals in my white noise!" _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |
