    Sub Bass

    Thanks guys, I'll do some reading and get back to you if I reach any problems. Got my dual rail supply built now so am good to go. Building synthesiser modules has been a huge help in understanding my oscilloscope much better. For the first time i'm really appreciating it.

    Sub Bass

    sorry, always think i'm not being too vague on here... a low frequency signal generator is what i want, and to be able to vary the tone. Will I also need a specific amplifier section for this? I was thinking an op amp as I'g guessing it will have to be a sinewave signal.

    Salvaged components

    Learn to speed up and slow down them motors i would suggest. Look at the lm317 circuits for this. Too much stuff to mention, my workshop at times resembles a scrap yard. This kind of thing is what i eventually make, mostly scrap, sometimes a specific gear or if i need a high torque i'll order in...

    Sub Bass

    I'm thinking I'd like to build a module for my synth that's capable of sub bass frequencies. If anyone has any reccomended reading I would much appreciate it, thanks. D

    Salvaged components

    I found learning motor circuit useful, taught me alot about how current works. Getting one to change speed was a turning point in understanding. Printers have a 1 to four motors, a bunch of gears, nuts and bolts, plus plenty of wire. Useful salvage.

    vu meters diy

    No worries. I just wanted to be clear. I don't think it matters much if you know or don't, just good to be aware if possible. I would have found it if i'd typed coil/moving and maybe ammeter... No worries at all, I didn't think you were being mean or ablist, just been on so many electronics...

    vu meters diy

    I did search google a lot. Sometimes it's difficult without language/terminology. I also have language/comprehension difficulties associated with autism. So maybe you were teasing with this reply earlier, if not please consider that others may have difficulties beyond your suggestion of being...

    vu meters diy

    just to see how they work, also i get annoyed buying stuff if i can make it, even if it costs more. Also want to see how small i can make them.

    compulsive hoarder! skip diver. Anything that can be salvaged I will take apart. It's like treasure hunting!

    vu meters diy

    So had a good look round internet but couldn't find anywhere that showed me how mechanical meters work. Is it possible to make your own? I'm guessing there is all different types to take different readings?

    VCLFO debugging

    Thanks Edd. I'll try and understand the source better. I do intend on supplying multiple in the end. Do I just make sure after adding up the current draw off each unit it doesn't exceed the supply current?

    VCLFO debugging

    it says the power supply should be 1000ma max, I'm confused why it would have a maximum? is it saying not to pull more than 1000ma through the circuit? or a higher ma rated power supply is bad for it?

    have you made any of the MFOS range?

    Thanks. I'll carry on then.

    VCLFO debugging

    Hi again. Just a few questions regarding safety. I've just built the mfos wall wart to bipolar power supply. I am yet to plug it in. It requires a 12v ac power supply with a maximum of 1000ma. I am not the most attentive of person and can easily make mistakes. Should I be building this? Is there...

    VCLFO debugging

    I guess the thing is also, because I've changed tack and am now building modular I just didn't see that a power supply of this nature was gonna be necessary. Learning learning. I'd swap that fine art degree for EE physics right now!

    VCLFO debugging

    Haha... yes a trap indeed, now them red circles are taunting me further! I honestly just thought they went to the circuit board and I'd connect a dc supply to the board. Nope. Just ordered the DC to Bipolar board off soundtronics. After all that meter checking, typing, then even missing you...

    VCLFO debugging

    Thank you. I will get on this. I am going to try and buil alot of the MFOS range. So I may just invest in a dual rail bench supply. I'm annoyed i missed this, i recently built two of the noise makers off there and they both required dual rail with a ground. Cheers for your time here.

    VCLFO debugging

    Hi. I will only be able to do this on Monday as my workshop is closed until then. I am using this power supply. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/375w-linear-dc-variable-voltage-bench-power-supply-rp10l#
