A bare PCB for the MFOS CV & Gate Expander module. Once you start building up your modular you quickly learn that you need a lot of CV outputs to drive all of those VCOs, VCAs and VCFs. Additionally you never seem to have enough gates to drive all of the envelope generators, sequencers, and other modules that require them. That's where the MFOS CV and Gate Expander comes in. One CV input can drive 8 buffered CV outputs or two CV inputs can each drive four buffered CV outputs. Three of the CV outputs have portamento (glide). The gate input can drive 6 buffered gate outputs. Three of the gate outputs are op-amp drive and three of them are CMOS drive. The CV output is zener limited to provide protection from over-voltage. The gate output voltage levels are all customisable. Features Expand one CV input to eight CV outputs. Expand two CV inputs to two sets of four CV outputs. Three CV outputs have adjustable portamento. Expand one gate input to six gate outputs. Three gate outputs have adjustable delay (1mS min and 1.8 Sec max). CV and Gate output levels are easily settable. Gate input comparator accepts wide range of input gate level. Zeners limit both pos and neg CV excursions. Supplied without components or instructions.

A bare PCB for the old-school, vintage style single buss 1V/octave keyboard controller. As a normal keyboard all you need is an old organ keyboard that has one switch per key that closes to a common buss. Or you can modify an old piano keyboard section with reed switches and magnets to make you own keyboard. Or mount reed switches on yourself or whatever and make a really cool looking controller that you play with magnets glued to your fingers for your next performance art gig. As long as you have a series of resistors with switches to close the junctions to a common bus you have a controller that can use this circuit to sample and hold key presses. Features One Volt Per Octave Keyboard Controller Requires Only Single Buss Keyboard (or other single switch per note mechanism) Four CV outputs Two Outputs With Glide Trigger and Gate Outputs LED Drive For Gate And Trigger Indicators Great For Performance Art projects A True Classic Analog Synth Design Supplied without components or instructions.

A bare PCB for the MFOS Sub-Commander Guitar Synth. This Guitar Synth buffers your guitar's signal, creates a pulse waveform (at the same frequency as the guitar) divides it's frequency in half (sub-octave generator) and generates a gate when you pluck a string so you can control the SUB-COMMANDER's AR generators. It permits you to mix the sub-octave, original signal and pulse signal and then route them through the SUB-COMMANDER's VCF and VCA. By doing this you can generate some very cool synthesizer-like sounds and effects for your electric guitar.  This is not to be compared with units that require a hex pickup and special processing to drive frequency to voltage convertors or MIDI controllers. Features Generates sub-octave and pulse waveforms Generates gate and trigger signals VCF controlled by dedicated AD generator and LFO VCA controlled by dedicated AD generator and LFO Mix clean sound with filtered/modulated sound. Auto-Wah, Warbling Wah, Tremolo, Pseudo-Ring Mod Gives your guitar a bag of new tricks Advanced project for advanced electronics hobbyists Supplied without components or instructions.

A bare PCB for the MFOS Vocoder project. A vocoder has got to be one of the coolest signal processors going. It allows you to impress vocal harmonic and dynamic characteristics onto other sound sources making them sound as if they are talking. This vocoder design works by using one lo-pass filter (100 Hz.), ten successively tuned band-pass filters (154, 208, 285, 395, 542, 720, 1013, 1495, 2000, 2546 Hz.) and one hi-pass filter (3330 Hz.) to separate the incoming control signal into its harmonic constituents. For each band the control signal appearing at the output of its corresponding filter is full wave rectified and low pass filtered to obtain the control signal's envelope voltage. This signal is used to drive a VCA through which the channel's filtered audio is amplitude controlled. Features Built in White/Pink Noise Source Built in Square/Pulse Oscillator Mic/Line Inputs for Control and Audio Good Dynamic Response To Voice Control Reasonably Intelligible Speech Processing Supplied without components or instructions.
