    batch 2 – 1 unit

  • ElectroDruidElectroDruid

    Batch 1: 1 unit (with SMR-4 board) working perfectly.

    Also, one CEM3379 filter board which works fine except for the audio in. I broke the audio in by putting the bridge in the wrong place, and ruined the pad when I tried to desolder and move it. Nobody replied to my questions about ways to fix it, so I presume it’s not fixable. I understand the lack of instructions for the more “specialist” boards, and the BOM is enough to build the board, but I think perhaps there should be a brief mention of some of the “gotchas” and things to watch out for could be added to those pages.

    batch 2 : 1 unit.

    Took about 4-5 hours to build... no major issue.

    Lcd did not work at first... ended up being s cold solder joint on the lcd trimmer ground... now everything works.
  • TrackdriverTrackdriver
    Batch 2: 1 unit
    Spent about 5h(!) on each board but they worked immeadiately
  • vxxyvxxy
    batch 2: 1 unit, (1189)

    no problems, great stuff!
  • dnigrindnigrin

    batch 1: 1 unit, working great!

  • nio101nio101

    batch 1 : 1 unit, working fine.

  • ErrorsoundErrorsound
    Batch 2: 1unit, It sounds great!
  • CheeseNoOnionsCheeseNoOnions

    Batch 1: 2 units CEM3379 and SMR4. They work well. I messed up a digital control board and had to get another. Desoldering is really tricky for the Audio and MIDI Jacks. FYI

    Just ordered a ssm2044.

  • üavüav
    Batch 1: minor issue (my fault), but now it sounds heavyt!
  • DonDon
    Batch 1: 1 unit
  • WattSekundeWattSekunde
    Batch 2: 1 unit alive

    No problems at all! Finding the right LED colors from my collection takes most of the time ;)

    Thank's!
  • gregmotorshopgregmotorshop

    batch 1: 1 unit – works perfectly

    batch 2: 2 units – heavily modified but works perfectly.

    SSM2044 filter board: works perfectly with and awesome sound ! (BOM: you’ll need 4 Electrolytic cap, NP/audio grade 3.3u and not “3”)

  • EATYoneEATYone

    Batch 0: 1 unit

  • fcd72fcd72

    Batch 0: 1 Unit

    (mistake ^)
    no problem
  • fcd72fcd72

    Hi renardo,
    can you send me the specs + schematics to your time machine?

  • themoepthemoep
    batch 2: one excellent working unit!

    Batch 2, 1 unit working great with SMR-4 board... SSM2044 waiting for parts order.
  • tanaisfoxtanaisfox
    Hello darlin's

    Control Panel and Synth Board 0.5. (That makes me a batch 1?) or am I before all that?

    Just joined this forum to add another to the successful build list

    Worked first time. Now to fabricate a case!

  • pichenettespichenettes

    @tanaisfox, that’s batch -1 or -2 :)

  • tanaisfoxtanaisfox
    Yay! I'm so behind the times I'm in front

    Only 1 of 50 of the originals though eh? Thats super cool I'll definitely build the next revision when the next batch happen.
  • sealionsealion

    batch 1(?): 1, runs well after I realized I: had one ic socket reveresed, and one audio output capacitor backwards. clear plexi with a Canadian maple leaf.
    and 1 shruti in a bamboo wedge

  • pichenettespichenettes

    batch 3: 1 unit with CEM3379 filter and green PCBs. Soldered a cap of incorrect value.

  • fcd72fcd72

    Green?

  • roschrosch

    yummie!

  • rumpelfilterrumpelfilter

    Batch 2 (2 it was, wan’t it?) got 2, built one, works fine, despite my continuous attempts at destroying components… :)
    so for now 1:1 fine

  • pichenettespichenettes

    Batch 3: 1 unit (SSM2044 filter, red PCBs). Swapped two resistors because I followed the online BOM/image while the circuit has changed a tiny bit.

  • oootinioootini

    still waiting on a digikey shipment :(

  • pichenettespichenettes

    Batch 3: 2 unit (SMR4, black PCBs ; CEM3379, black PCBs). Discovered that red LEDs of same color/intensity can look totally different (from bright purple to invisible) behind a 6% reflective blue sheet of acryl. Had to desolder some of them and made a bit of a mess of the board, but it’s fine. Had to swap a resistor on the digital board because customer asked for a super-bright LCD.

  • altitudealtitude

    Batch 2:

    With correct firmware, works 100% with CEM3379 filter (not had a chance with the SRM4 yet)

    ISP programming header did not work initially due to bad 595 (replaced and worked, was getting a resistance between pin 13 a +5 preventing it from programming)

    to also add, building the bootloader and OS on a windows based AVR toolchain checks out (WinAVR)

  • V`centV`cent
    Batch 2 - One shruthi-1 spewing out awesome noises (yup, it works) :D

  • pichenettespichenettes

    Batch 3: 1 unit (stock configuration – black PCB, blue LCD, green and orange LEDs). For updating the assembly instructions. Had a 100W lamp on top of my head all the time and it really shows how bad I am at soldering.
