my “kinda” 960 clone

 

Front panel being drilled on my 3 axis vertical turret mill with digital readout.  what’s that, you don’t have one of these?  how sad.

Rear view, showing the homebuilt PCB and at rat’s nest of wiring to the front panel.  The little white breadboard on the left holds an afterthought, a little mux circuit i needed to control the sequencing between the three banks (A, B, C).

Hi, this is Efrem Borga here, nah, i’m just kidding, it’s me phillip.  ok, this page has some information on a recent project of mine, a “clone” of the world famous Moog 960 sequencer.  If you are not familiar with this work of art, you need to get your hiney over to www.moogarchives.com and read about it.  Anyway, i figured that since a sequencer is basically a digital device with no analog processing, i might be able to make one.  it took me forever because i totally suck, but i did get it working after much pain, burned parts, pcb failures, and a plethora of other problems.  In sharp contrast, Roger Arrick made a flawless clone in just a few weeks.  Go visit him at www.synthesizers.com for REAL synth stuff.

So, i made a youtube tour of the module that you might find either amusing or annoying, but either way it’s probably worth 5 minutes of your time.
