The Fate of the First Feature-Complete Prototype of the Harvestman Hertz Donut

via Scott Sebastian Jaeger of the harvestman on FB

"This was the first feature-complete prototype of the Donut. The PCB had some serious routing issues, so it never worked correctly and caused me a great deal of frustration. It was also the only module in my junk bin with a panel and no hop...e of rehabilitation into something musically useful.

The first shot immediately sheared all of the knobs off of the module, as the panel came away from the board assembly. Four of the pot shafts were snapped off as well. I only recovered about half of the knobs. Despite scoring two direct hits on the tact switches, I recovered most of the parts from all 5 switches. The force of the projectile impact blew most of the surface mount parts (0805 size) off of the board, I wasn't able to find any of them except for the crystal and a single electrolytic capacitor.

Load: Remington 125gr SJHP .38 Special +P (some garbage that had been laying in the back of my safe for a while). The brass and the recovered module fragments have been saved for use in an art project. I tried to pull a bullet from that tree stump but I couldn't do it without damaging the tools I had on hand."

"This module is the combination of two utility modules:
* the first utility is a quadruple VC-PANNER (and mixer, though not VC)
* the second utility is an output module providing master volume control, tonality control and old-school vu-meters as well as a monitoring output for headphones."

"Just finished a little 5'x10' mural with hours and services for Switched On the music electronics store in Austin USA. logo design by Lars Larson, original Wasp manual graphics by "R.V." ...it took too long to hand letter the Futura font, but I guess its in my blood, my great uncle hand painted most of the signs at the Czech Village in Cedar Rapids. You can glimpse inside the store at our Chinese "oil painting" of a TB303 also."

"Yes, I watched the film "Sorcerer" this weekend! ;-) This is just a quick foolin' around with the modular synth that the movie inspired. Had a few technical difficulties so this is only the D300s camera sound. :-(

Just a bit of fun for the heck of it . . .

Thanks for watching!"
