City of Lost Children (MS-20 + Strymon El Capistan)

Published on Oct 28, 2017 Tape Ghost

"Something simple for a complicated relationship. Dedicated to the city of San Francisco. No effects applied in post, just my MS-20 mini going into a strymon El Capistan set to have lots of input boost for saturation and lots of wobble."

"This Multimoog is in great condition considering its age, there are very minor signs of wear and
cosmetic damage, but nothing serious, it is a great vintage piece and looks and sounds the same as when I purchased it at ACE music in Miami in 1978. I am the original owner, and it has never toured or left the studio except for some years spent in air conditioned storage. This synthesizer comes with a 44-note monophonic keyboard with aftertouch, a ribbon-type pitch bend controller, and an external control voltage and trigger inputs/outputs for interfacing with other synthesizer equipment. You can even process vocals and external inputs through the internal patented Moog filter and circuitry. I did that with vocals and guitar many, many times and it was a gas, limitless new tonalities possible for vocals and guitar and any other sound source. The Multimoog was always ahead of its time in many ways. Extensive outputs and inputs in the back to maximize flexibility. It is amazing what Robert Moog packed into this unit, the back in/out is almost like the patch panel of a huge Moog that cost x 10 times the price of the Multimoog. This unit is easy to use for a novice in analog synthesis and absolute heaven for an experienced professional. Featuring the legendary patented Moog filter design, this Multimoog synthesizer is in great working condition and works and sounds fine, just as it did back in 1978."

Percussa SSP Layout Update #5 - Footprint checking and ADC/DAC re-routing

via Bert on the Percussa SSP Kickstarter campaign:

"Hi all,

I spent most of the past week going through my TODO / checklist (40 pages long!), checking footprints, double checking small but important details in the documentation of the ICs I’m using in the design of the SSP, and adding pin headers on the back of the PCB to help with development and testing later on when the hardware is done.

One of the items I wanted to go over the past week was double checking the footprints of the QFN ICs i’m using. They require special solder paste apertures and thermal vias, which have an influence on how well they solder to the PCBs later on in production. I also made a few small changes to the BGA256 footprint I have in the design, I reduced the diameter of the ball pads to match the recommendations of the assembly house we work with.

Adjusting BGA256 ball pad diameter

I also wanted to place the voltage reference caps closer to the ADCs and DAC I’m using in the design. They are pretty important to get the performance I want and I wasn’t 100% satisfied with where they were sitting (a little too far) so I moved them really close now, moving the DAC to the other side of the PCB to make room. Yesterday I started routing the signals again from the input/output stages to the DAC and ADCs. I’ll probably be done with that end of the weekend.


Re-routing signals near ADCs/DAC after placing ref caps closer

We made a lot of progress the past week, and the TODO list is now a lot shorter, which means I can focus most of my time in the next week on re-routing the traces of the digital section of the board and checking / updating the layout of the different power supplies in the design!

Thanks again for your support, and until next week :-)

Bert"
