Re: Super Psycho LFO vs Psycho LFO
i use a couple of psychoLFOs all the time to introduce a little wobble into various modulations... i usually increase the osc. caps to at least 10uf to slow it down. i also have a superpsyco, all the additional options (and panel real estate) dosesn't really add too much musical functionality, at le...

The ".1uF" capacitor should be 1uF (105).

Re: How to redesign a panel without any source files or information
i use graph paper, make a rough guess and draw it out, and then literally place the pots/knobs/switches/jacks on the paper to see if everything fits, and adjust where it's too close.

i have PCBs available for this: http://fluxmonkey.com/fluxmerch_buchla.htm. it runs fine on 12v without changes. the outputs swing close to the rail, though - i usually build mine with attenuators on the panel for each out, or voltage dividers behind the panel to bring them down to a more reasonable...

Awesome, thanks. I was thinking of building this and didn't fancy it on a paper circuit. It looks like you've corrected the mistake on the paper circuit as well. :tu: I've ordered two to make a double tarp, maybe with a shmance instead of the eight knobs. mistake?? :? only Allah is perfect :hail:

Re: Using FPD for paper drilling template?
I print 2 copies: one glue on w/ rubber cement to use as a drill guide, then i strip that off and use spray adhesive (scotch77) to glue on the final paperface copy. i also often use a self-adhesive laminate sheet, with the top/bottom wrapped around and behind the panel.
