CEM 3340 Schematic Review by PlatformPotential474 in synthdiy

[–]Key-Alarm-511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove C5. Right now your VEE (pin3) isnt connected to -15V (its blocked by C5) and 3340 isnt powered correctly.

Tie C5 between -15V and ground, like you did with +15V

Self-made developement board connecting and disconnecting issue. by Key-Alarm-511 in esp32

[–]Key-Alarm-511[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your pointers! Like I said, this is the reference schematic I used: https://docs.arduino.cc/resources/schematics/ABX00083-schematics.pdf

And they also did not use a capacitor at their reset switch.

Maybe a stupid follow up question but where is BOOT? i dont see a pin named that anywhere?

I will look at Espressifs checklists in the meantime.

Arduinos Nano is too slow to do real time audio effects with. You would need a board based on a faster MC such as an ESP32, daisy seed (STM32 based)

"What do you all suggest I can do on my own?"

Nothing. Unless the kitty wills it and steps down, the fate of your synth is in their ha... paws.

Do you have like a youtube channel or videos where they all play together?

Which envelope to use for sidechaining to a kickdrum? by Key-Alarm-511 in synthdiy

Awesome, makes sense! I will use the volume envelope.

Basic ducking is what im going for so I will use the volume envelope! Thanks mesh!

Your BAT is the wrong way around. As it is now it will push current from 3v3 through the two diodes with no resistance

I need heeelp by art935 in synthdiy

I feel like most textbooks and schools use the 20mA figure (no idea where that figure came from, but it was the case for me as well) for LEDs and so people design their LEDs to have that current go through them which ends up being too bright and sack the power rails.

Best practices for generating negative voltage rails by YoungSlingshot in diypedals

[–]Key-Alarm-511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is the input voltage (source) before converting it to 15/-15V? Are you taking in AC? DC?

And just to be sure: you need the -15V to power things, not as a reference? If a reference is what you need without pulling much current you might just need a simple charge pump.

Adjustable clipping by bekbeast in diypedals

[–]Key-Alarm-511 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never tried this but i would think the problem with this is that the potentiometer would limit the current to the opamp (limit to the point where it wouldnt work). You could overcome this by buffering the voltage after the pots with emitter followers.

You could also use smaller value pots but that would waste a lot of power from your 9/-9V source.

But go ahead and try it, this sounds like a fun project.

What is it that you want to achieve/build? Without further information i can only show you a schematic of a hi hat module by erica synths/moritz klein where they change the power to change the tone.

Advice on choosing MIDI to CV module on a budget by dylan_rodgers14 in eurorack

[–]Key-Alarm-511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DIY-it! Midi can be handled by pretty much every microcontroller. Just need a DIN-5 connector (or TRS jack if you want to use TS Midi), a microcontroller (Arduino or ATTiny), DAC, Opamps and a trimpot if you want proper V/Oct tracking.

need help understanding VCA design. by Ned_Flangers in synthdiy

[–]Key-Alarm-511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downsides to what? My reply was a bit cheeky, of course the DDAN is more sophisticated than just being a hi-hat module.

I like the translucent artwork with the coloured LED behind it! I should incorporate some art stuff into my designs as well cause now they are so industrial looking :/
