I suspect there are still some problems in the PCB-&gt;panel connectors which need to be addressed. Noise source and LFO are definitely working. S&amp;H and gate delay may still need some attention.<\/li>\n<li>XR2206 VCOs &#8211; still waiting on PCBs (week or two?) In the meantime, I&#8217;ve put all the components needed into a bag, so when the PCBs arrive, I&#8217;ll be able to dive right in and not dig through my parts boxes looking for appropriate values.<\/li>\n<li>Gristleizer &#8211; Done? I discovered <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diystompboxes.com\/smfforum\/index.php?topic=79012.0\">an incredibly important mistake<\/a> that I had made (see build note #1 in that first post of the thread). Replaced the JFET with proper hole spacing and it seems much happier now&#8230; I think it&#8217;s going into the metal outer enclosure of an old CD-ROM drive. That looked suitably &#8220;industrial&#8221; for my purposes.<\/li>\n<li>J\u00c3\u00bcrgen Haible 36dB Filter\/Phaser &#8211; Sketched out how I want the panels to look. Just need to drill them and then mount up the panel to the PCB.<\/li>\n<li>Made some more design decisions on the next-generation sequencer. Looks like it will be 1&#215;16 or 2&#215;8 switchable (with the possibility of\u00c2\u00a0 chaining additional units to 1&#215;32 steps in the future) Still some ways off, though. More recently, I am interested in Fonik&#8217;s Voltage-Controlled Pattern sequencer, though I think a microcontroller is a better idea here than just an ADC&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I also started plotting how the expansion of my system beyond two rows is going to happen. It&#8217;s going to involve a DIY cabinet and Vector rails. More details soon. I also accidentally a x0xb0x &#8211; I think I&#8217;ll have the PCBs as early as tomorrow, but parts will be dribbling in from now until the new year, I think.<\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m at it, wanna see the modular in action?
