hello all,
as coincidence would have it, i just finished my combined Oakley EG/VCA
after wiring the outputs back to front and making a cock up of my panel...
...anyway, see enclosed jpg
as the EG/VCA is an obvious combo, i normalled the EG outputs to the CV1
input on the VCA, the panel switch selects AD or AR direct to the VCA. both
modules are wired to work separately.
panel controls are (from the top):
Attack, Decay / Release, VCA Gain, CV1 Attenuation
on right:
AD / AR to VCA select, Gate LED
jacks:
Gate In, VCA In, VCA Out
AD, AR, VCA CV1, VCA CV2 (unattenuated)

a word of warning - triple check your panel measurements, cos with this
layout, based on the MOTM grid posted a month or so ago - my panel didn't
fit in my cabinet. your top PCB might want dropping down a couple of
millimetres

anyway - if you lost the CV2 input, and shifted the LED & switch a little,
there's certainly room for an LFO (unless of course you want to utilise the
"Slow or Slower" rate switch which i installed)

if you're thinking of sticking the LFO on there for some dedicated tremolo
(..?) why not put the LFO on a 1u panel with another VCA..? (cunning plan
takes shape...)

anyway - food for thought, got to get to work via our local (family run)
electronics shop, Bardwells
hence the well known Sheffield phrase, "A Bardwellian nightmare"

Hello all,


                I have allready completed the Oakley WaveFolder and and
have PCB/Parts in the works for the Moog SuperLadder 2, MultiMix and
Blacet DarkStar. I am using Schaeffer in Germany to engrave the panels.
I had them do the Wavefolder first about 2 months ago and am very happy
with the results. I have to say that engraving looks fanatastic and very
classy. I went for Tony's basic design and it cost about $25.00 dollars
to have it done. The express postal shipping from Berlin cost about the
same and took about a week to receive. At a total cost of $50.00 it was
worth it to me. I plan to have all 3 new panels made at once this time
to save on shipping. The customer supprt at Schaeffer was excellent and
the software they provide for design is quite good. I have souped up
Tony's panel design's by adding tick marks around all of the pots. This
does double the cost of the panel but even so, with PCB and all parts
the cost of the modules  still comes in at the MOTM range of $100 to
$200 each. If any one is interested in these files let me know and I can
email them to you. You will need a copy of the Front Panel Designer
software available at http://www.schaeffer-apparatebau.de/ You have to
navigate in German for a minute but there is an English version
available for download. Just my 2 cents. Charles.

Hello Paul,

Where did you add or put the LFO rate switch in the schematic? I would like 
to add this too for when I get my Oakley LFO. Thanks for the info

Thomas White

I'm interested in the files.  I didn't like the 
Schaeffer samples I saw at Tony's site without the tick 
marks, it looked rather bland in contrast to the MOTM 
modules.  I already have the Schaeffer software.

Does Schaeffer give discounts for multiple panel 
orders?  Would it be useful for some of us stateside to 
go with a combined order to save on panel cost and 
shipping?  I'm interested in the Wavefolder, a ladder 
filter (haven't decided which one), and maybe a triple 
LFO, but the cost of panels has been holding me back.

So am I

Has anyone tried using the HPGL import facility in Front Panel Designer
to do some simple graphics? Everything I try seem to end in an error
message. I have been trying to export an .plt file from Coreldraw 7

I am planning to re do all my cabinet with Shaeffer panels but I want
my logo and a few graphics.

regards...

Bland you say, pah :-) Actually, you sort of get used to your own
format. I have more Oakley modules than the MOTM one. So the MOTM one
actually looks a little crowded compared to the more sparse Schaeffer
panel ones. The photos on my site don't really do it justice. The
Schaeffer stuff is more like Moog... and that font, the cheapest they
do, is particularly close to the Moog modular. Tick marks cost more
money of course, and since I'm tight, the ticks never got used. I did
one panel with ticks just to see how much it costed... when I recovered
from the shock, I decided the best thing to do was to leave them out.

One thing to mention here is that I use a slightly different horizontal
spacing to the MOTM spec. I use 1.625" for both the horizontal and
vertical centres. This means that the user can put the boards in
vertical or horizontal. Its doesn't really look that different, in fact,
I hadn't even noticed it until another MOTM/Oakley customer told me.

Right, back to soldering up some more patch leads... yawn! BTW: RG58
makes very cheap patch cable.
