That’s kind of you, thanks! I’ve been trying to crop the bunch of jams from which these were taken down to a single interesting short release or something. Not much luck yet in general, but I really appreciate that feedback.

That’s how I am working mostly these days, making a 30 min jam and finding the best bit to build a track.

Wow where are those lovely panels from?

thanks, they are some i made

Really cool! I’m not into the stock NLC panels, but these look great. I have a Let’s Splosh and Sloths with nice minimalist panels by Sascha Von Ott.

are you folks on the NLC facebook group? I have build questions but I am long gone from FB and am loathe to return, but if that is truly the best place for support, I’ll eat it.

I lost the Roulette input on my WN!! I don’t know what happened, it was almost like punishment for speaking so highly of it, but now no knob combination will evidence a response. straight division works fine, have not checked the osc out.

I’m in the group. I’d love to quit facebook. Why is so much stuff only there?

Anyway I’m happy to ask them about it if you want to PM me any more info. I’m sure Andrew would help via email as another option.

I would really appreciate if the group would move off facebook, onto e.g. Discord. I literally only use facebook for that group, and when I do, it’s through a private browser tab.

also, @nonlinearcircuits is here too…

Same boat here. Held onto Facebook for a while just for some synth groups and miss that aspect, but can also understand most people use it and to request everyone move somewhere additional can create more digital clutter for people.

@fourhoarder do you have a multimeter where you can check connectivity at the jack? Ie plug a cable into roulette and make sure there’s connection between the tip and the resistor or whatever is next in the path? And also confirm the sleeve is connected to ground? Just for a very basic first step

I quite understand people avoiding FB. If you need help with a module, just email me or use the contact button on the store - https://www.nonlinearcircuits.com/
Clear, close-up pics of your build help a lot with troubleshooting.
Re: WN, the signal path from Roulette is highlighted. check the soldering and that components are connected by testing with a multimeter.

I do like the community aspect of it, though, and there are some helpful tips on e.g. ordering parts. I also appreciate that having other folks around to help takes up less of your time and spreads the effort a bit.

Andrew sorted me on the Wangernumb, builder had put the 6v 4046 in. it was just a matter of time.

I have a question regarding Let’s Splosh :point_up:Does anyone know if anyone makes a reworked version of the module in less hp? Or one where the layout is similar to @papernoise’s design for VCV? Always loved how that looked.
In case the answer to both are negatives - which, according to my research, they are - Anyone into schematics and diy know how hard would it be to design and produce it? Not too diy savy but really interested in this, as I have both a limited rack space and deep love for papernoise’s design of the module.
Maybe I should consider tagging Andrew, but don’t really want to bother him for selfish reasons…

It would be very very easy to do your own layout (if you can read schematics but this one is very simple). The schematic fragment is in the build instructions. It would probably take only a few hours to enter it into, say eagle and then lay it out, if that. It’s a clever module though!

I designed a 4hp SMD rework of FF Chaos (with a few small additions of my own) a while back, and have been itching to do more PCB design work, perhaps I’ll give it a go.

@nonwaved Magpie Modular has done a few NLC module panels, maybe they could be interested. I can ask them if you want. Making a physical panel from the VCV design would be relatively easy for me.

Don’t worry, really. I was more concerned with how easy it would be to reformulate the schematics to make the in/out distribution work, and not so much with how the panel in itself looks (which, of course, looks great!) / making a physical panel. Since the VCV has the four inputs in the middle with the derived outputs surrounding them vs the og Splosh having them all lined up, taking up more space - my main concern was is it possible to reformulate the schematics and design a pcb / working module in less hp?

Knowing that it is feasible I might look into it and get back to you guys if I end up realizing it. Thanks :seedling:@barnaby, @forestcaver

Ok no problem! :slight_smile:

Talking of my 4HP FF Chaos rework, one year later (or is it two already?!) I finally got around to making a demo of how I like to use it. Here’s a little drone/noise patch with just FF Chaos and Rings driving each other.
