[sdiy] Asynchronous Clock Board for Milton or Miniwave

[Peter Grenader]

I am pleased to announce that the Milton Asynchronous Clock Board (ACB) is
operational and the initial order is now being placed.  Cost $22 - which
includes 1 PIC, 1 ACB boardlette, instructions and shipping or $10 for the
ACB PIC alone, which can be used for various applications as a one chip
solution for four bit magnitude comparison.

In brief, the ACB will be a small piggyback boardlette which can be mounted
on top of your MIlton's main engine board,  which extrapolates it's own sync
pulse when the sequencer is running in ASYNC VC mode.  For a description of
what the ACB does, go here:

The ACB PIC can also be purchased separately for $10, including shipping.
It is an eight din dip and can be used for various applications as a
standalone four bit magnitude comparator (sends a 2 ms low 'true' out when
ANY change of state occurs in any one of its four data inputs). Longer
outputs can be achieved through the use of an external one shot.  The ACB
PIC runs off of 5 volts via a 7805 regulator if your application does not
provide that.

The ACB would be especially useful for owners of the Wiard Waveform City,
Modcan MIniWave or Blacet Miniwave, as it will generate a pulse each time
either a change of bank no. or wave no. is selected. The ACB will require
one additional jack to the faceplate.  Please contact the manufacturer of
your instrument to determine if this addition will effect your warranty
before hand (in some cases, this modification may void it)

On Milton installation, the ACB requires the addition of a 10 pin dual in
line conector (at JM3 on the Engine Board) and a DPDT faceplate switch
(Sync/Async mode select)'

Orders can be processed via paypal to peter at buzzlick-music.com.

These assemblies will ship from Toluca Lake, CA in 4 weeks time.



pulsing merrily along,

Peter
