Plan B Model 16 Spectral Multiplexer

Via Peter Grenader on the Plan B list:

"Working after the shop closes and into the wee hours for the last couple of nights, I've completed the prototype of the Model 16. I normally never go here, but I have to say that this one is a winner. You guys are going to be pleased. Timbrally it dances between Fixed Filter Bank behavior to Vocorder precision at the turn of a pot...with voltage control of all 12 filters, lowpass and bandpass mode sweeping with switch selectable discrete and blended stepping modes.

It's going to run a bit more than the other products in the line, simply becase of the faceplate size and the massive circuit behind it(over 200 caps, many of which are polystyrene's, well over 20 ICs, not to forget five PCBs). It is the most complex circuit I've ever embarked upon, up to and including the analog Milton.

A couple days away just because I earned it, and then it's onto the completion of the PCB art, which has been halfway there for some time.

I would expect to see these to market some time in the next two months, possibly earlier."

  1. A before/after, or dry/wet sample would be great. Looks like quite the bit of work.

  2. You're absolutely right, b/a's would be helpful for the cause. I'll get my tech right on it (ha ha). I'll get one like that up in a jiff.

    But so there's no confusion, it's Spectral MUTLIPLEXER, not Multiplier.\
