Well, it’s finally done. I got the PAiA FatMan finished. yay! It turns out that the problems with it were related to a bad EPROM, the bit that holds the program for the MIDI to CV conversion. I got a replacement chip, and everything was (eventually) good. There were only a few additional bumps, namely the replacement chip having it’s pins bent as hell. Fortunately it made it here, as the package it was in hadn’t been sealed. But, it’s here, assembled, and all is good. Take a look at just over a page of wonderful construction pictures here.
Or, there’s a few treats for you to listen to. Namely…
· PAiA FatMan Filter Jam (Just some random filter masturbation…)
· Eric playing the Super Mario Brothers 2 Theme Song
So, yeah. It’s done. I’m all happy about it and stuff. Now, as long as it gets good use and happy tunes are made with it, well, woo!
Also, it makes a surprising variety of sounds. You can tune it all different, have the two oscillators offset by all sorts of nifty amounts, all sorts of neat wacky filter goodness, etc.
Now, time for Luna! Woo!
Very cool! Congradulations. I’m glad you finally figure out the problem.
Thank you. :) It makes me happy… I sort of wish there was an actual problem I could have figured out, but at least it’s working. I’m kinda disappointed with PAiA’s flaky quality control. They have great customer service, but if things were right the first time, it’d be even easier for them.
