hello list, i'm new to the group. i have a few Wiard modules for my frac-rack modular. (and i'm rather sad that Grant decided not to make more Wiard frac-rack modules...) please, could you tell me the current draw of the 1210A Noise Ring module? many thanks, best regards, :-) Bak

I have rackmount frames again. They cost enough to make a grown man cry and took 12 weeks to get. But they are essential to some customers. I only sell them with new module sales. They are too expensive and hard to get to support people buying second hand modules. I am sorry abou

For whatever reason Yahoo does funky line wrapping. All of the posts seem a lot easier to read if you go over to the right hand side of the sceen, click on "Show message option" then click on "Unwrap lines". Either that or never use the carridge return key? Anybody know what is u

I had a conversation with one of the design minds behind Apogee Analog/Digital Convertors a few months ago that reflects much of the same thought - Apogee has even considered buying on Ebay used AD8000 convertors in an effort to reclaim parts that are no longer in production sinc

What is truely shocking is that SO (small outline) SMD devices are going EOL (end of life) in as short as two years. SMD seem like it will have the same problem as early eight bit digital. The rate of change is very highly accelerated. 2708 EPROMs are still available, but you nee

I would like to add to Doc's eloquent incites that many devices, such as the Sequentix P3 sequencer, (which has been a rather large success in the thru-hole era), could not be converted to the newer technology in a way that was econimically realistic for its market place - and, b

2007-03-22 by Dump Static
Many fibreglass products (like boats) have the pigment covered by a hot coat and gel coat that is transparent. A *lot* of buffing goes into those top layers. So the color is under the surface, which gives a very nice look. How about a panel of plexiglass, with a colored sticker o
2007-03-22 by stefanbonnet
I hope grant will find the right price for the 300's, right for him as well. I understand the frac-rack format has physical limitations (I wouldn't have minded odd widths still...), and SMT probably isn't the best option for a musical instrument you'd rather be able to service so

The faceplates are being silkscreened now. Just got Woggle Bug PCBs, rest of PCBs still on order. Waiting for Perkins-Elmer Vactrols. Everythings moving along, but this is thru-hole technology. Harder to get than surface mount parts. Longer lead times and more expensive than ever

Yeah, it's 3/4" pine. Fast grown, which on the plus side means it's cheap (more money to spend of filling the spaces in it) and sort-of light, the downside is that it marks easily. The staining/varnishing of the upper half is finished anyway! Here are some pics of it in situ, and

I wonder if a little touchplate controller would be a good tryout for a fiberglass faceplate 1200-series module? I presume that the touchplates themselves could just be etched onto the surface of the board? Maybe something 2 x the width of the boogie filter and borg filter module
