I’m new to making pcbs. I’m just soldering by numbers and symbols! :sweat_smile:

But much thanks anyway for sharing!!
I’m planning to build myself a paper modular system. really glad that I found CL stuff on paper and the stuff you shared!

Here is another video with @crucFX 's Roolzr. It is the brain of this serge patch. https://youtu.be/qAe1XMzp9_w

Yes, this looks correct to me.

rolls and spikering are a match made in heaven and the two best paper circuits IMO

still jonesing for a PB but its a hard choice between PB or Pulsar 23

I used their contact form about a month ago and thought they hadn’t replied, so I contacted them through Instagram and they gave me a direct email to use. They were quite quick with responses that way. A week later I happened to check my junk email folder and their response from their contact form was there and they had responded the day after I had filled it out.

I did check the junk folder actually but nothing there, also sent a message on IG but so far nothing…think I’ll wait for a couple of week and see…Not too impressed with the service I have to say

This good - what do the inputs / pots on the SR?

first of two gerassic organ is working, thanx for helping me figure things out along the way :slight_smile: just have to put the circuits inside the frame i have built and put the pots in the holes and solder the buttons on and stuff, the top is pictured here

Question for the deerhorn organ people. There’s one thing I’m still unclear about after scouring the few videos and posts I’ve found. It looks like in Hainbach’s video he says you can plug and trigger output in to the orange output to trigger the deerhorn. And the language on the Ciat Lonbarde website seems to indicate the orange jack is indeed an output. So I’m curious if you can actually trigger the deerhorn’s voices with the orange jacks? Am I misunderstanding something?

This is true. @Justmat uses this technique and has a number of IG posts where a Rollzr orange triggers a Deerhorn orange.

Ah thank you! Always love an excuse to comb back through @Justmat’s posts for some goodness.

awww shucks :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

rollz orange into deerhorn orange totally works! i mostly use the DH this way and only ever really “play” it when i am processing external stuff, or using it for cv control.

Just saw a listing of an old school cocoquantus here in Norway:

Very cool, but not cheap! :slight_smile:

He has a crazy Sidrazzi Organus listed too…

Does anyone know if the artwork on these old models is screenprinted or maybe decals under the finish?

Screen printed I believe.

Phenomenal thread - so happy you’re all here!
It took me about 2 weeks, but I’ve read every non-DIY post and I’ve learned a ton. Actually, I read a lot of the DIY posts, but until I get into it myself, it’s too much for my brain :crazy_face:

I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first CL purchase - a PB and Coco and I’m trying to get all of my ducks in a row so that I’m ready to fly when they get here. I’ve ordered a ton of bananas, (2) 1/8” stereo to 1/4” mono Y cables, and several 1/8” stereo cables. I need to get a mixer with more channels and I’m trying to make sure that I’ve got enough stereo channels and an effects loop for my stereo reverb to potentially use on any instrument that’s running through the mixer.

I just have a very less than basic understanding of mixers. I’ve used an effects loop on mixers before, but never in stereo. Every mixer that I’ve looked at has 2, 1/4” mono for returns (to make a stereo return), but only one jack for send. I haven’t been able to figure out whether it’s a stereo or mono send. I’ve heard other people mention that you can use up one of the mixers stereo channel for, wait a minutes, was that the return or the send? Now I’m even more confused…

Is anyone using an effects loop in stereo for their CL gear or is everyone just running effects in-line? Any help, leads, or links to read would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There’s no single right answer for this because it’ll depend on what you want to do. Assuming you want to treat the PB and Coco as two stereo instruments with separate mixer sends to the reverb, the minimum you would need is two stereo or four mono inputs to the mixer, one mono effects send, and a stereo return via aux return or additional input channel.

Effects sends on a hardware mixer are usually mono, because most effects are mono input. But my digital reverb has a stereo input, you say. Yes but it is (99.9% of the time) summing the input to mono before it processes the sound and then outputting the stereo reverb mixed with the stereo input via the wet/dry or mix controls. Since you will control the dry signal level with the mixer and set your reverb unit to 100% wet, you only need a mono send to the reverb and a stereo return to the mixer.

You could use up one stereo or two mono input channels instead of an aux return for your reverb IF you want to EQ your reverb signal, overdrive it with the preamps, or send it to moar fx (like the Cocoquantus). Otherwise your reverb will just go straight to the mix unprocessed. That’s pretty standard but hey, this is CL talk.

Now, I find the CL stereo output scheme extremely annoying for my way of working. I don’t want things hard panned all the time, and I don’t want the various sounds generated to be pre-mixed before they get to the mixer. I usually have Coco returned to two mono channels so I can process the two cocos separately, or take the banana outs into other banana devices. With PB, I use the 1/8" output in conjunction with the individual banana outputs sent through a format converter to get them to 1/4" and into their own mixer channels or into some other synthesizer/filter/etc. Sometimes I even use 1/8" stereo to 1/4" mono passive mixing cables so my PB or Sidrax stereo out comes out in mono and only takes up one mixer channel. Note that not all PB generators have an individual output.
