that’s actually what I was hoping to ask you about, have you had a chance to experiment with the radiate L and R when you have the outputs of nearness going in to QPAS?

#268

Something I found more fruitful than patching the QPAS into a Nearness while twiddling tonight: using the nearness to build an interesting stereo image to feed the QPAS. In my case the outputs of a self-oscillating 3 Sisters.

How does it react with CV into the Radiate controls? This is pretty much the exact use case I was envisioning if I were to acquire a QPAS.

Can’t decide whether to try to get some PCBs made for the 2hp version (does look waay fiddly on top of the fact that i’m not very SMD-experienced yet), get the cheap + very nice looking but (relatively) too-wide 4hp panel + pcb on pusherman, or just buy the takaab 3hp one, which isn’t so cheap with postage to UK but then again might be worth it for the time i’d save not having to build it

or just try and build some weird DIY version from scratch tho that would end up huge I suppose :smiley:

euroworld problems :smiley:

…Trying to decide has at least made me realise i can and will very easily build a ripoff of this https://www.olegtron.com/olegtron-r2r-1 with a 2hp mult panel i have knocking about plus a handfull of resistors, and get some kind of passive nearness-esque stuff going in the meantime (plus other experiments in DAC-ish behaviour) :slight_smile:

If for some reason you decide to build multiple 2 hp Nearness’s’s I could definitely take one off your hands :slight_smile::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::upside_down_face:

will do if i do :slight_smile: I’ll make a note and save it with the pcb files to remind me to let you know if so. At the moment not feeling thaat much like getting my head around it all but may well do in future :slight_smile:

TYSM :slight_smile: but ya I don’t blame you if you don’t wanna…

I just got started with nearness today and this is the first thing I did. I think I need 2… one for internal routing and one for sending a stereo mix out. Imagine (I’m doing it right now) Morphagene and Erbe Verbe together with one (probably Erbe) just a bit wider than the other…
Brilliant little module!

Really hope to see 2HP one’s for sale :heart_eyes:

can’t believe I didn’t think of this until now. feeding 6 waves of DPO into TXn then into QPAS with slow cutoff modulation :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

should anyone in the EU have a set of pcb’s for a 3hp version lying around, I’m interested :slight_smile:

Has anyone had trouble opening the schematic from the GitHub? I’m getting a line 1 error as if I’m not using a compatible version (on v9). If someone feels like sending me a screenshot/pdf, I’d be grateful :slight_smile:

I recently snagged the 2hp TXn and am working on incorporating it into my workflow. Is everyone attenuating the incoming signal fairly heavily? if I don’t it starts to pop like its being overdriven? I’m beginning to think this might be an issue with the one I have and not all of them as that doesn’t exactly seem like the expected use case.

#281

There should be jumpers on the back of the module to allow for fixed attenuation (-6db if I’m remembering correctly). Do you have those in place and are still getting clipping? Before I set those I was getting a lot of clipping myself but have been pretty good since putting them in place.

same here.
with the jumpers set it works like a charm, though.

this is exactly why I made the attenuated version. I found that I was almost always doing some sort of attenuation to better work out the mix before using nearness to build the stereo field. This way I now do everything in one step with a per input attenuator.

here’s the details in case you missed it earlier in the thread:

Has anyone tried building one of these without the op amps, i.e., fully passive? I’d be going direct to my mixer from nearness, so would have all the makeup gain I need there. I have a fun idea that adds some r2rs off of each input, so you can really mix in the stereo space.

Recently with the removal of an output stage, I’m getting a lot of clipping and distortion on the direct nearness into h1 recorder setup (input level @ 1) (using 2 mono cables soldered to a stereo out cable). Anyone have any advice for getting a cleaner recording from this type of output. Posting here since nearness is what I’m recording straight from. Thanks!

#287

I finally got a moment and checked. I don’t have the jumpers which would explain it. I got mine second hand and don’t have the jumpers. Any idea where I can snag a set? Or is this something I should just diy?
