MOTM

Previously mentioned here in these threads, my original soundtrack 
for the game "Delta Force - Black Hawk Down" is now available for 
sale on the publisher's web site.

It's only $10.00 and makes a great gift! :)

Remember to play "spot the MOTM" as you listen! ;)

The album also features the incredible drum work of Jerry Marotta 
(Peter Gabriel, The Indigo Girls, Paul McCartney)

Not that I'm biased in any way (cough cough), but this is a FANTASTIC CD! I played "spot the
MOTM" and only guessed about 60%. Russell completely nails some Middle Eastern reed instruments.
And yes, great drumming throughout. Has great MOTM-120/440 patches all over it.

Heck, MOTM stuff or not, it is indeed great work.  I can close my eyes and
imagine I am there.

Only $9.99 actually.  And get nailed on the S&H!!!  It's like I am
shopping on ebay.  Does it really cost them $7.45???  I don't mind the
cost; I just don't like being mislead.

I did buy one BTW.

Think of it as a $14.95 CD and $3 shipping. :)   You'll feel better.

I played the tracks on the game's website; sounds great!!
The CD is only $10, but the shipping is another $8... is this available from
anywhere else, somewhere with a better relationship with UPS? Amazon?

Since my system is going to have at least five 800 EG's, it might get 
confusing which woosh is which.  So I'm thinking of drilling holes 
and adding LED's like Moe has on his page:

http://www.hotrodmotm.com/800_mods.htm

While I'm sure that works (and it says he already tried it right on 
the webpage :) I wonder if there is an easier circuit that does not 
require adding a perf board.  Also, why is the LED in the feedback 
path, is that to reduce noise on the ground, or to give the LED a log 
response to the output voltage??

The outputs of the 800 already have TL072 as output buffers.  The 
positive output is divided by two 2K resistors, and the negative 
output takes that signal and uses an inverting follower (100K input, 
100K feedback) and a 1K output resistor.

If I simply connect an LED between the output and ground that should 
give me ~5ma across the LED at 5V.  Another way would be to tap the 
signal prior to the 1K resistor with another resistor going to the 
LED.  I'm thinking either of these should work.

I could draw less current from the outputs by driving the LED with a 
transistor, but I would like to avoid dangling parts.

Any ideas??

I sent a detailed explanation about this more than a half hour ago, 
so I guess the internet ate it. Too tired to reconstruct it...

No, the LED forward bias voltage is fairly constant, and will 
interfere with the output. You need to drive the LED with a current, 
not a voltage. Hence the LED feedback loop - it's the easiest way to 
get a nice controllable isolated current that follows the output 
voltage. If you just want an on/off gate indicator, use a transistor 
and two resistors.

It showed up off list, and seems to have turned into a discussion on 
op-amp theory...

You're right.  Well, it works, after a Sustain setting of about 4, 
but it divides the output voltage.  The intensity of the LED does 
vary with the output voltage of the 800, as placing the LED in series 
is driving the LED with a current.  Regardless, I need a higher 
impedance.

I wanted to try avoid using a perf board and tapping the power rails.
