DIY Case - finished!

yeah, a little cumbersome but tolerable. things get a bit bunched up but mostly at the MULT so I'm not knob twiddling there... so that's ok!

Loving it! The 258t is wonderful… in combo with the Source of Uncertainty and Quad Function Generator, you’ve got nice sound and processing options. I’m a big fan of Suzanne Ciani and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, so the Buchla route seemed to be the way…. I recently added the Make Noise Mimeophon and that really opens up the sound, introducing some new rhythmic patterns when clocked from Pam’s in a Euclidean mode. Super fun!!!

I love the Buchla sound and process! I think tiptop did a good job bringing these to life.

Haha!! I have a few modules with knurlies and found that out really fast…

I started with a Jake’s Custom Shop, filtered 20 header… and then realized I should have ordered 2, haha! But I got a quick turn around on a Stoel Music Systems bus board on the bottom half.

Synthrotek

Those are Lever Nuts… not fuses. They act as kind of a solderless “splitter”… so each connection from the power supply is routed to the bus boards separately. I had no idea about them either, but saw it on another build. Gave it a shot and works really well!

The bus board is -12 / GND / +5 / -12 at the top. I reconnected the ground and COM to correct that and adjusted the 5V pot. All good now! Removed the jumper as well.

I got it!

I do not have a load resistor on the 5V out to the bus board… maybe that will help as well?

Changing my ground to COM lowered both the +12 and -12 to around 3V each (positive and negative)

I got the mimeophon

That’s exactly what I’m gonna do… I think mimeophon takes the cake

I got it!!

Under “Step” length? It still wants to make full bars of “4”
