Subject: RE: [motm] Results of the 'user poll'

For me it’s

1) FFB

 

2) SEM VCF

 

3) Cloud Generator

 

I’ll still be happy if the SEM was 1st. I’mjust not sure I could justify dropping 500 bucks on a Cloud Generator that Ihave no current use for. Maybe if there were some super cool samples to demonstratethe it’s abilities and characteristics it might peek my interest!

Subject: [motm] Results of the 'user poll'

 

After reading everyone's inputs for what isdesired for a DIY/pc board only
(or module, but all in old fashioned through-hole technology) I've decided
to work on the SEM VCF with Voltage-Controlled Output Morphing.

For all you solder jockeys out there, it will be as complicated as the
MOTM-480 VCF. But with ∗more∗ parts. Yippee.

In order to take advantage of all it can do, it will have 6 panel controls
but 11 jacks. I plan to use a standard BR-1 bracket/MOTM pc board size
∗unless∗ the layout goes south and won't fit. It will be ∗very∗ dense.

There will be 2 audio inputs, voltage-controlled resonance and
voltage-controlled output morphing (along with HP/BP/LP/Notch ∗fixed∗
outputs). The MORPH sweeps between HP/BP/LP on a dedicated output.

Even though it uses 'vintage' op amps, I just checked Digikey/Mouser and
they have tons in stock. There are several LM13700 dual OTAs but again not
an issue.

So, one last 'poll':

What would you rather see ∗first∗:

a) some sort of FFB/parametric EQ boards?

b) the SEM VCF boards?

c) the Cloud Generator in all it's assembled SMT glory?
