"The great company 4ms offers pcb's and schematics fir all their products. I have built most of the pedals( awesome stuff!) and the bend matrix is soon finished. Will be interesting to try it!"

"This is my version of the Wiard Wogglebug, designed by Grant Richter, and implemented here by using pcb's from Jan Czmok and Ken Stone of Cat Girl Synthesizers. It's not quite finished yet - I haven't connected the disturb jacks yet, but need to take a break from this one, so they'll get added later."

Synthesizers.com Q172 Quantizer Aid

full details on Synthesizers.com

"The Q172 Quantizer Aid operates in conjunction with the Q171 Quantizer Bank providing a fourth quantizer channel along with many unique features.

Note: The Q172 requires the Q171 to operate.

Features include rotary switch selection of the note group and the addition of new groups including quarter-tone, and 3 user-programmable groups.

A MIDI output jack produces digital notes matching the quantized output. This effectively turns our analog sequencers (Q119 and Q960) into MIDI sequencers and offers many interesting connectivity possibilities with digital equipment.

A Bypass switch provides real-time selection of a quantized or unquantized output.

A 3-position Transpose switch lets the operator add or subtract an octave to the quantized output in real-time. The transpose input jack provides voltage controlled transposition to the Pitch voltage output.

The MIDI input jack provides a simple method of programming the 3 user-programmable note groups. Simply plug in a keyboard controller and press the keys you'd like in your custom group. Groups are saved through power cycles.

The Gate input can be used to control the timing of quantization and allows operation as a digital Sample and Hold. The Gate output provides a pulse at each quantization output change to trigger external events such as envelope generators and sequencers."

Synthsizers.com Q171 Quantizer Bank

Full details on synthesizers.com

"The Q171 Quantizer accepts an input voltage and produces an output voltage that is locked into a selected group of notes (semitones, scale, chord, etc.) maintaining correct intervals between steps.

The quantizer's primary use is to simplify tuning of an analog sequencer, but there are many other musical applications. Any voltage source can be processed by the quantizer including envelope generators, oscillators, noise sources, etc.

The Q171 can be synchronized with external events and operated as a programmable Sample & Hold using the Gate Inputs. A Gate Output signal occurs whenever a new quantized output signal level is produced.

Three independent channels are provided. Channels produce one of the valid semitone notes (12-notes per-octave) unless an alternate group of notes is selected using the option switches. These option switches narrow the possible outputs to further simplify tuning. Possible note groups include Semitones; Major, Minor, Augmented, Diminished versions of scales; Triad chords; and Root+5th."

Shoot, already picked this one up here. It didn't come up in my search for some reason. Oh well, here it is again. :)

BLACKJACK VCO

via these auctions
"THIS IS CALLED A BLACKJACK VCO. IT STARTED FROM AND OLDER VCO CALLED 'RED VCO'

THIS IS JUST A LIMITED EDITION BLACK PCB RUN TO CELEBRATE THAT THIS VCO IS DECLARED PERFECT.

THIS VERSION HAS THE OPTION TO RECEIVE AN SSM2210P OR A SSM2210SZ (SMD VERSION).
THERE IS ROOM TO HAVE A 2K TEMPCO SWING OVER THE DUAL MATCH TRANSISTOR PAIR FOR ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTACT.
YOU CAN INSTALL AN IC SOCKET FOR VERSION SSM2210P ONLY.

it can do:
Ramp, SAW, Square, Triangle, Sine waves

There is (1) attenuated CV input, (1) Direct CV input, (1) Linear CV input, (1) Sync input, and (1) PWM input

THE BUYER MUST BUILD THE VCO WITH THERE RESISTORS, CAPS, DIODES, ETC.
Calibration is also required to achieve 1v/oct tuning.

This VCO can easily scale about 6 octaves no problem when properly calibrated and built with quality parts.

The pcb is compatible with EURORACK POWER SUPPLIES AND CASES. THERE IS AN IDC 16 PIN, DUAL 8 ROW LOCATION.
