Re: MN3005 source?

Is there a big difference between the MN3005 and the Cool audio MN3205? Seems they're both 4096 buckets? Sound? No. i beg to differ.... the mn3005 runs on higher voltage rails and thus has better noise and headroom, however the 3005 has a slightly higher % THD. The sound is indeed different, but pe...

Re: Reliable source for IC7660SCPA in US?

farnell has a crap load of these, newark is the US distributer. also try digikey, or if available rs-components. I love mouser too, but sometimes digikey and farnell are just cheaper with certain components.

Re: np electrolytic caps in eagle

i understand you just want to make the pcb and move on. However if you are going to use Eagle a lot more in the future, i would recommend you learn how to make custom libraries of adapt libraries early on. i know i used to spend hours trying to find the right components libraries on the web.... If y...

Re: Is it possible to use ramp-and-hold as a quasi tap-tempo?

i don't think it would be that hard to make a tap tempo delay. The only problem would be to calibrate the variable resistor/whatever! (lm13700, ldr, fet, transistor, etc?) to drive the delay time of the chip your using. Using a Uc it's really easy to sample a switch and create a VC to control the sa...

Re: RG Keen Neutron PCB Question...

i've had some trouble in the past with printing other people's layouts too. The solution for me is usually just trail and error. I print out the design on a couple of normal sheets of paper and compare the holes with components that i have lying around. What works best for me is using an opamp socke...

Re: Moog Ring Mod

i just love these boxes. although i've never owned one, recorded a couple of bands that's used em. and the end result was always impressive. don't think it'll be too hard to reverse them or make a work-a-like, just find the article "working with OTA's" that's floating around the net and ta...

So i replace U1 with a socket + tl072 and i found it clips a lot better now. Also when i push the leve...
