ASM-2
Subject description: construction time again........ |
  |
|
nearly there with the resistors & diodes, i've bought connectors for wiring properly instead of my usual crows nest of wires  , decided to go banana for patching with a few converters to 1/4 inch, i also got yusynth saw animator pcb from Bride Chamber to add to the final design, not sure whether to add ken stones sub osc pcb as well .
very good quality pcb from elby & Bride Chamber, good stuff.

What are your front panel dimensions? I've got mine drafted out to fit 14u of standard rack space, yours looks much smaller than that. Nice work!
I'll post pics to this thread once I get the metal cut, the PCB itself is 97% stuffed. I've been nibbling away at this project for about a year now  |

Thanks Matthias, took a few weekends to plan this one, i'm building a seperate power board to supply the asm & extras, i have made the box with iec fused socket to house it and have a torroidal Xfrmr ready to go in.
I'll add more pics as i go.
Cheers

Hi crochambeau, 3mm alum panel is 590mm X 300mm, a guilloteened off cut from my local engineers workshop with clean cut edges from using hydraulic cutter machine.
The design above will be lasered to vinyl sticker when finished, i thought i may have had room to fit a few lunetta circuits but i'm out of space already.
i would love to see pics of your asm, Uncle K's beast is amazing with the veneer effect. |

Yeah I have been working on an ASM-2 for a bit also but I keep moving to other projects and getting distracted. I need to just sit down and finish it. Mine is also banana. It took Elby and I a bit to figure out a way to get the banana jacks to fit in the pre-drilled holes. Finally a combination of washers and nuts worked out. And quality wise yes Elbys stuff is fantastic. It is almost over engineered. I love it. He has kept me supplied with quite a bit of stuff. I am working on a Sound Lab Ultimate also that he was able to get me the parts for. |

| Wow, that's beautiful! I've got a board that's been complete for about a year but I've kept getting distracted by my Euro system, and that last step of the panel design and case has been a daunting one. I feel motivated again after seeing that... |

Nearly finished the wiring, then it's time for test & calibration and hopefully celebration , error dependant of course.
I've been getting home from work and resisting the lure of the couch to wire it up, probably annoying neighbors using a cordless drill to twist wire looms at nights , .
must tidy those wires with some zip ties.

ASM..2 "it's very, very musical"
Subject description: ASM-2 is making sounds |
|
|
Worth the wait to get this synth up and running, i'm really impressed with the sounds and tones available on the ASM-2, adding 2 saw animators (thanks Yves & Bridechamber !) has ehanced the sound even further.
I have allready had some new ideas for new tracks for ORCHARD & EPICYCLUS within an hour of trying it out after finishing building, fantastic.
When building the asm, i found it best to refer to the genie / wizard / asm manual & various wiring options pdf doc's, to get a more rounded instruction on the build , referencing between all these doc's helped me with a few hiccups and stumbles when constructing.
Here below is a selection of sounds from my ASM-2 finished build all sounds are free of FX , just the synth apart from "major force" it has a little verb on it, a little bit of the 1979 album influence to it, ha ha ha .
please don't fall off your chair when you hear it

Hi Jan , the synth is going to get a good workout on the Newyear event, it's debut apperance with Epicyclus  a reasonably trouble free build from pcb & special component kit from Elby designs , sourced the rest of the components from uk outlets. |

ABSOLUTLY IMPRESSIVE WORK DAVE !! I love the RED panel to. Thats one BIG build ... I really look forward to your forthcoming records using this synthesizer.
I have been meaning to come over here and take another peek at your progress ............ it was worth the visit ...

Deep thought as to how the panel layout will end up with these sequencer boards....Hmmm.......

Well that is great AND I tell you, there are so many cool examples of panels ..... your head will go DIZZY  Have fun with it ..... Your a seasoned pro so I probably don't have to tell you BUT those "many" cables are a frekin chore dude !!! I enjoy plopping chips and components down onto the boards and listening to music ,... thats my relaxation.
On the further subject of panels ... my first panel was custom designed by myself and the second one I have waiting in the shadows is one of those cool circular designs by Bridechamber. Reasonable price to at about $100 USD.

It does not seem like 15 years ago starting my first electronic music kit.... the Maplin electronics Voice Vandal... and a filter circuit from "The Mix" magazine diy series . Im far from seasoned pro... seasoned with herbs maybe he he.
I think i'll have to go with my own panel for the klee , 300mm X 250mm space available in the big modular case, handily available by future rebuilding of my soundlab+ into mega soundlab (under design) |

Did you get sorted out ok for panel material for the soundlab ??

Hi Dave,
I think I'll buy the PCB, a lot less headache at very little cost. that said, I have a Soundlab ultimate to build first. Speaking of which, my stripboard soundlab ended up in a plastic maplin case. I have the aluminium cut for my modular panels, but have no idea how to print onto it.
This is how my stripboard soundlab ended up:
