The VCF303 is coming

After quite a wait I'm happy to say the VCF303 is on the horizon. Here's a picture with a test panel, the final release versions will have almuminium panels in the same style as the DrumDokta.



Here's a little preview video that was sent out last week to some on the OSC303 email list, the only difference being it has a different test panel on it. The video showcases the features and sounds of this filter.

Production will start soon, pricing will be announced in the near future and the waiting list has already started so if you want to be added drop me a line on info@dinsync.info

waveform in, acid out ;-D

I think I need to aFdjust my resonant frequency

I've spent many hours over the years looking at the TB-303 service notes and only recently noticed this typo :-)

4MS SCM tap tempo mod

This simple mod adds a great tap tempo functionality to the 4MS shuffling clock multiplier.

you need a push button
1N914 diode (i didnt have any in my parts box and used a 1n4148 which works fine also)
1k resistor (you dont actually need this but its not a bad idea)

first get rid of the slip jack

I had to whittle the hole out a little to fit the button, be careful here as the metal is very soft (you can do this by hand gently with a flathead screwdriver)

the pics show how to wire it up
the blue wire has a 1k resistor in series,
the yellow wire has the diode in series with the band facing the board
(away from the switch)

basically it takes the power from the output pin of the 5v regulator via a 1k resistor to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch has the extra diode and is soldered to the cathode (the side with the band) of the diode on the pcb that comes from the input jack.

EDIT: I should point out that this may not be the same pcb revision as the current ones selling (it looks different in the user manual) so if in doubt, dont do it ;-)

DDB - DrumDokta breakout patch examples

Here's some patch examples to give you some inspiration for the possibilities of what's possible with the DDB.

DDB - DrumDokta breakouts now shipping

The first batch of DrumDokta breakouts is completed and ready to ship.

Everyone who bought a DrumDokta was automatically added to the DDB waiting list. A huge chunk of emails was just dispatched which covers almost all of batch one and two of the DrumDokta builds. So if you got a DrumDokta from one of those runs then chances are you just got an ordering email.

If you didn't see the email please check your spam folder.

If you purchased your DrumDokta second hand or just want to check in to see if you should have got an ordering email, feel free to drop me a line on info@dinsync.info
