...well, almost - the digital parts remain.
But still - tonight I placed a huge order with JLCPCB, 5 copies of every card needed for a voice:
VCO
Pre-filter FX
Bus mixer
Bus mixer angled connector
Juno filter
Moog + JP6-filter
Waveshapers
Mainboard
Ordering 5 instead of just 2 copies is kind of a gamble as I don't know if everything works yet. But the cost (excluding shipping) is only 50% more for five than for 2. I guess I just have to wait and see if the gamble pays off.
I have yet to sign off on everything, but I expect that part to go smoothly. So while we wait, here are some cool board shots
3D model
I've used Fusion 360 to check that everything fits together and that we have the clearances between cards that we need.
I COULD have converted the eagle designs into something that Fusion can read, but this is the next best thing:
All the cards making up the voice. To the left is the (yet to come) digital board. |
On to the PCBs
A panelized board containing two waveshapers, the FX board (ring mod, distortion and noise) plus a special board that will make it possible to mount the bus mixer board parallel to the mainboard but 3cm away from it
Another panelized board, this time it's the VCO, Juno filter and bus mixer boards
The third board is the dual filter PCB, containing the moog-style ladder filter and the extended JP6 state variable filter.
The CV board - made on a four layer card to minimise noise (hopefully). This one has 56 output CVs!
Finally, the mainboard. I've spent six months or close to 200 hours on routing this, I REALLY hope it works.
