The price of the voice panel by 73-75 usually comes out a lot less than the Random Source panels plus PSU. But yeah, that is very different and not as fully featured as a La Bestia panel.

Not much to contribute, but this thread has me itching to use the panel I’ve been neglecting due to other projects.

Has anyone used Loudestwarning for a custom build? I’d love to get the Resonant EQ and new Ring Mod (for example), but I already have the Wave Multiplier and I’m not interested in the shaper. I’m wondering if those and other items could be grouped into custom modules.

I’m pretty sure they can. @muncky and @pmj both have custom jobs from LW.

Not sure that you can easily get the new Ring Mod as just a pcb, since I think it is exclusively a Random Source module and not listed in their pcb only section. Might be worth asking them.

Most of the Loudest Warning builds are based on CGS pcbs with a few others mixed in. That said, the old ring mod is nice too.

Yeah, I had the LW treatment on this back in the day to fit with some RS panels. Have happily worked with Charlie on a lot of things

Two new builds for someone... Both ‘Random Source’ format modules, you can see what they are! Every time I build the ‘73 VCF I’m newly blown away by the sound!

Ah, that looks dope, and it’s exactly the sort of combination I had in mind. I’ll hit LW up once things settle down a bit.

I’ve also had great experiences working with Charlie (LW). I have a custom R*S style module from him and a full custom panel. Both are excellent. I also use his power supplies…

I just wish he had more time to build panels :grimacing::upside_down_face::upside_down_face:

Does anyone who’s built the 73-75 got any tips for patching some random voltage sources?

Pseudo-random idea: feed several cycling slews and envelopes into the peak/trough section. You could probably also mix in comparator outputs or even some white noise from a radio via the preamp.

… aaaannnnddd feed it back into the vc of the slews

I modulate one of the EGs while it’s looping and run another EGs window out into the hold. I guess it’s more steppy than random, but you can get there I bet.

Here’s a video of what I’m talking about. Right EG is sending window to the left one. Left EG is pitching the sound sources.

For those of you that have ordered from R*S did you get an email about shipping? I ordered some panels 5 days ago from them and haven’t heard a peep. I live in the US.

I’ve ordered two seperate times from them. Never got an email from RS about shipping, but both times got the packages via FedEx.

Same here, I got an automated order confirmation, but no shipping info via mail. But I’m sure if you ask, they can get you a tracking link.

Also, I’m not sure if they always ship with FedEx, but if you’ve created a webaccount with FedEx to track packages with them in the past, FedEx will email you as well with tracking info (and you can even give instructions to hold delivery, change delivery date, etc).

Thanks for the help! I’m just eager to build the damn thing

I’m curious what the difference is in terms of voltage range between R*S, LW, 73-75, STS… if you mixed and matched some panels, would you need to attenuate or boost any signals?

Yes, my went to the spam box though and I was very confused by not seeing an order confirmation email.

It varies by circuit design you will have to look into the circuitry be sure, for most of it R*S and CGS boards designs seems to follow a similar output range for unipolar, bipolar, etc still what I’ve been learning with 4u is that looking at the designs is key to avoid frustration.
