New guy here.

I just found this forum. I have been building some MFOS modules, most are working...some are not.

Anyways, this R.Wilson mixer schemo.....
http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/stereomixer.html
....is working. Two things though :

1) The headphone output is way too hot for my phones..55ohms and another pair 32 ohms. Where would I insert a pot (prefferably I'd use a resistor/attenuator switch (instead of a pot)).

2) I also tried opamps other than the TL084..these also work, and give lower background noise:OP471, OP400, AD713.
I hooked it up to a scope, and a square wave in, line-out does not produce a square wave out.....the trailing edges are sloping down a bit, and the headphone-out is some shape I am unable to describe (concave slope down, convex slope upwards??) Sounds ok though. Can I ever expect to see a perfect square wave out, on such a simple circuit ?
..or are my newbie measurement skills revealing themselves here Smile

I'll post pics of this and other modules soon.

thx

What about using a 100k stereo pot instead as two variable resistors instead of the 100k resistors in the feedback paths of the output buffers (the ones in parallel with the 22pf caps)? That would give you control over the volume of the headphones output only. If you'd prefered a switch use a DPTP for switching two different values for both resistors...

Cheers,
Matthias
