Two videos of my 901A Oscillator Controller with 901B Oscillators, with temporary panel. 

 

General overview (the scaling of the 901A is not optimum in this):

 Available shortly: DIY (do-it-yourself, build-it-yourself) "Moog" modules in Eurorack format to complement the Behringer "System 55 " modules:

- 901A Oscillator Controller

- 901B Oscillator

-- 992 "Control Voltages" (Control source switching and adder)

- CP3/CP3A Mixer - can be used with the "992" PCB to make console panels, or on its own.

- "Universal daughter board" PCB - to facilitate easy connections to the back of Behringer modules.

Under development:

-  901C Output Stage

-  904C Filter Coupler

-  901 Oscillator

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My prototype Moog 901B in 8hp of eurorack. 2 PCBs, all thro' hole. The rear PCB holds the oscillator, the front PCB holds the sockets, pitch control, range switch and range caps (plus an op-amp as I've added a PWM input).Two Molex connectors on the rear are for the "bus" from the 901A controller, plus one with all of the outputs on it.

The extra pot and wiring in the pictures is because there is (as yet) no 901A controller - the design for the 901A is ready, but no point in proceeding with it until I had a working oscillator!

The output:
 

(any glitches visible on the triangle and sine are because I don't yet have all of the range caps installed - these are also used for filtering the triangle waveform).

While the prototype uses thonkiconn jacks, I'm swapping it (and the 901A) to use PJ3410's, as the Alpha rotary switch sits higher on the PCB than I had originally envisaged. I could also do with using a longer shaft pot for the pitch control.

 

Some of our front panels are currently in short supply.

We are therefore providing complete files for  "Front Panel Designer" to allow customers to order panels directly from Schaeffer AG.

 

Please note:

• We have no affiliation with Schaeffer AG.
• While these files utilise the same FPD files and print graphics that we use for our own panels, we have not necessarily ordered these specific panels ourselves from Schaeffer AG.
• For personnal, non-commercial, use only.

To match Behringer System 55.    

Behringer 904A filter with the AMSynths daughter board installed - this swaps out the Behringer capacitors for matched lower value polyester capacitors as used in the late 60's Moogs. 

Took about an hour to convert - most  of that time was spent removing the original Behringer capacitors (they are thru-hole, the rest of the Behringer circuit is surface-mount). Just used solder sucker and braid - no fancy desoldering station needed.

This now sounds very very nice!

 Just arrived - my first two "Moog" PCBs to complement the Behringer System 55 modules.

The left hand PCB is the "control voltages" section of the Moog CP3/992 modules - this can be used as part of a Eurorack CP-style module, or for a 992 Control Voltages module to drive the 904 series filters. Note that my PCB differs from the Behringer CP3-O and 993 modules:

1. There are no front panel inputs or outputs - the PCB is designed to support "Trunk Lines" as in the original Moog Modular, but using Molex connectors on the back of the PCB.

2. The "Ext Input" is an attenuverter  (or "Reversing Attenuator" in Moog-speak): Moog and Behringer have an attenuverter on the 992, but only an attenuator on the CP3-O. I've also added the option to normalise the Ext. Input to +6V - useful for switching in pre-set transpositions etc.

On the right is a dual purpose Mixer PCB that can be configured as either the CP3 (transistor based), or as the CP3A (op-amp based). The PCB supports the "click filter" for the CP3 option (missing on the Behringer CP3A-M module!), and optionally a performance control (SW2 on the PCB) to mute channels 1&2 or channels 3&4. I will be combining both of these PCBs behind a panel to make "CP3" modules, but the Mixer PCB can also be rotated 90 degrees to form a stand alone (16HP) mixer module

 I recently purchased a Behringer 914 (Moog modular in Eurorack format) Fixed Filter Bank module, for a price so low that I couldn't build it for the price. I subsequently bought the Behringer 960  Sequential Controller, a 921 VCO, a 904A low pass filter, and I'm waiting for a 902 VCA to be delivered.

I just completed assembly of the (excellent!) AMSynths AM984 Four Channel Mixer PCB, this is now waiting for a panel.

Note that, as designed, the Mixer draws approx. 60mA per power rail (Rob of AMSynths has confirmed this) and hence the 79L06 regulator runs "warm" - use of a TO92 clip-on heatsink is recommended.

I'm planning on developing the following DIY modules to match the Behringer "Moog" series:

995 Attenutators (panel only) - the Behringer module is overpriced IMO.

994 Mults - ditto

993 Filters, I have a small stock of vintage "tropical fish" capacitors. This will be DIY (PCB, panel) only, as AMSynths already sells an assembled version of this module.
992 control voltages - as the Behringer module, but without the front panel jacks for "behind the scenes" CV buses.
901B Oscillator and 901A Oscillator Driver. This is the original Moog modular VCO, which has a number of "quirks". It needs rare parts  - I already have my personal stock of CA3019's waiting.
