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 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.

Yeah, same, I was kinda surprised to happen upon something so tightly rhythmic, which is why I wanted to capture and share (even though I have a very hard time figuring out where to go with that kind of music in interesting ways, so it kinda does the same thing for 3 minutes :sweat_smile:)

Plumbutter is basically three pairs of different filters that get “pinged” by the geometric pulse generators, step sequencer or other control signals. Oh and there’s a theremin.

It seems my issues with my brand new plumbutter continue, unless I am totally missing something on how both the gongue and AV dog parts function.

Am I doing something wrong in either of these videos or does this seem defective? Any ideas for a fix to either?

EDIT: I should add that it’s a 500mA power supply, so i don’t think that’s the issue.

#2413

I tried both exercises on my plumbutter and my gongs/mixer blues/av dogs all behave consistently. I got mine back in late summer/fall. If I had to guess at what’s wrong, it would be cold or broken solder joints on the specific banana jacks, mainly because that’s an issue I’ve heard of in the past. Hope you get it figured out, that’s a bummer!

#2414

i have experienced this on the snare input of one of my pb2s. re-flowing the joint fixed it up.

#2415

Thanks for the responses, all.

Can’t say I’m thrilled to have to worry about trying a self-repair on something I’ve had for less than a month, but it is what it is, I guess. My soldering skills are… meager at best.

I presume with Peter relocating to Europe, getting service for these sorts of issues stateside will be prohibitive.

Worse comes to worse - there are probably a few of use here who would be willing to take a look at it for you.

I’d contact Peter and see if he has someone set up to do service and repairs here in the states while he’s gone. I expect that he does but if he doesn’t, this would be a good reminder.

@crucFX Thank you, I will keep that in mind!

@Coitmusic I reached out to him and am hoping he responds soon. Will update here with what I find out in case it’d be useful others. Will probably post a video of my deerhorn issue as well, since i haven’t really gotten a straoght answer from him or otherwise on whether it’s functioning correctly either.
