Re: Fake TL074 chips in circulation
Yikes. COVID delay/ripple effect I assume? A little but not the main cause. On average Semiconductor usage grows by about 5% per year so you need to build new fabs every year. But it's definitely boom and bust. The memory people feel this the most as their fabs are the most expensive, but building ...

Re: Fake TL074 chips in circulation
I just ordered a bunch of 74s from Tayda at the start of this week. Glad I saw this, I'm gonna giive them a close look over just to make sure. I have a giant batch of TL072s from Tayda. I'll take a look too. I had been buying 074s from them, but then realized in bulk (100+), Mouser was cheaper than...

Re: Fake TL074 chips in circulation
Should we be worried about 074s and 072s going scarce for some reason? All ICs will be going scarce for at least the next year. Current semiconductor demand far exceeds supply, as the automotive industry is discovering and having to cut back vehicle production significantly. Most fabs are already a...

Thanks h0wser! I'm working on the build documentation right now, probably 75% done. Just have to knock out the final BOM and get panels in and we should be golden.

Re: TR-606 - is there any clone in DIY format?
thanks. the kick and hats sit really well in the mix. a complete 606 in euro would be sweet I'm working on basically what is a DR110 with all voices in euro right now. The DR110 is very similar to 606. This would be just the voices, no sequencer. Figured I'd mention it though! Any news on this? :pa...

You could just use a BJT or JFET to drain the cap (C3) when issued with the reset pulse.

Re: LM339 Pullup resistor value
Does transition time refer to the steepness of the rising edge, or the delay in responding to changes on the inputs? Either way, I'm only using it to clock a sequencer at "musical" rates, so I doubt the sort of lag this might cause would matter much here. yeah, the former. The capactive load seen b...

Re: LM339 Pullup resistor value
As guest mentioned, the transition speed will increase with a lower pullup, but will draw more current in the off state. 150k is pretty huge. That will make a pretty miserably slow transition, but for this maybe it is OK? The LM339 is not a particularly high speed comparator, but for example the tra...

Re: Experience with cheap panel manufacturer in china?
^Exactly. JLC and such are used to doing films and custom silks all day, but batch your PCBs on a huge piece of stock with other customers...that's part of their efficiency. There's really nobody doing that with metal work AFAIK. So, most shops, even if they are not outsourcing for the silkscreen wi...

...Some sort of JLCPCB/PCBway equivalent but for aluminium panels, ideally with options for anonoized aluminium and brushed aluminium. Thanks! This does not exist. I used to use Chinese vendors for getting panels anodized and then laser etched, but it's not particularly cheap per so. In resonable v...

There's a whole thread on this already. https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=235904&hilit=cnc A couple of us are successfully making prototypes on cheap CNC routers, but more like in the $500-$800 range. The REALLY cheap ones are essentially worthless for doing metal. They are flim...

Re: Triangle VCO current source?
Yeah, a OTA such as the LM13700, CA/AS3280 or a current-output VCA like the 2164 are probably the most common and least exotic.

Re: a440 mixer schematic advise
Oh, I didn't know you wanted more than 1 signal. You CAN add signals with a non-inverting configuration, but it is more complicated, and you would add feedback resistors. But, things are not as clean cut. So, yeah, that's why it's easiest to add with an inverting summer, at the virtual ground point....

Re: a440 mixer schematic advise
If you don't want any gain, the simplest thing would be to just use a buffer (since that seems like what you are trying to do is buffer the high pass filter you have created with the 1u cap right? So that first part would be like this:
