i am working on turning a few of the paper circuits into gerber files for future use using this guide:

however i can’t seem to export the gerber files once all is done, the option to export to gerber is simply greyed out. has anyone encountered this problem before / is there a way to fix it?

I would ask @barrford :slight_smile:

All of the “conversions” I have done have been tediously hand placed… since I dont have Osmond, or a Mac… :smiley:

Hi @qbert, I used the method here (which is linked from that website, but I think is more current):

I have version 1.2.8 of Osmond PCB and it exports the files fine via the Files->Export->Gerber Files

thanks for showing up @barrford ! i used this method and reached the same result of the gerber export being greyed out but saving and reopening the file allowed me to export the gerber files just fine :slight_smile:

Osmond is a wonderful piece of software and is amazing that it is free. It does have a few quirks and bugs, though.
The usual method of getting around them is to save, quit and reopen, just like you did! :+1:

KVgear stands arrived!
these work REALLY well with Ciat-Lonbarde noiz weapons!

WOW! that is a phenomenal looking set up!
Would love to hear it all in action!

thanks!
it was late into the night with the initial exploring last night.
it’s the current noiz circuit for the next session of Late Night Noiz for Late Night Fiends. :smiling_imp:

Do you happen to have a close-up photo or diagram of the missing RC/bypass caps? I noticed them on the bottom of Richard’s boards, but couldn’t make out the exact placement/values. I’ve been interested in taking a crack at this for a while now.

please note -
the trace that goes to pin 3 of the 4013 should not be there if utilizing this rc circuit.

*Update with info

The yellow caps are 0.1uf between the power pins of each IC for bypassing. The blue cap and resistor are the RC network (4K7 and 102nf) from the real quantussy schematic that isn’t on the PC board, going between TL084 pin 7 and the 4013 pin 3 (which are directly connected on my PCB’s and on the prototype design - this is what would be cut on my boards, or omitted on a paper build)

Seen in the pictures on Pugix’s site but not discussed:
The two wires with shrink tubing are for the extra CV input (100K resistor inside), and the secondary castle output (22K resistor inside). These go to the blue and yellow banana jacks, respectively. Richard showed the 100K resistor on the schematic, as CV IN. The extra castle output 22K resistor connects to pin 14 of the TL084, though it’s not shown on the schematic.

The other three jacks go to three cross-shaped lands on the board, triangle main out (orange), near the TL082, castle out (red), near the TL084, and trigger input (green) near the three LEDs.

here’s what that noiz circuit evolved into last night… :smiling_imp:

Here’s a video of a plumbutter jam I did (with a little help from the mi stages module). I really am loving pb, I’ve made a lot of music with it for the short period of time I’ve had it, definitely an inspiring machine!

Brilliant! Is the snare like noise around 2:30 the dust output? Sounds gorgeous with the sweeping you have going on!

Hey so can’t 100% remember (did this last week and finally got around to getting the video processed yesterday), but here’s basically what I remember:

I made a gate pattern with the MWTRS sequencer you can see with those leds. So some combo of triggering the snare with that or the even roll it’s clocked with and then some of those gates going into the blues to kinda act like envelopes to vcas turning it on and off.

And then the ultrasounds also had some like rhythmic stuff going on and so prob some cross modulating there (like dust or snare going into ultrasound mixer blues)

Sending dust to various blues on the mixer has become a favorite thing, if you do it with the avdogs it can do some weird panning stuff too. And you get a lot of control with the dust/snare knob.

Lovely piece and shows a bit different tonality than what I’ve mostly heard coming from CL gear. I still understand very little of what happens with these instruments, but they are certainly interesting.
