okay, i finished the ds8 clone, i never ordered the ds7.
conclusions so far : highly recommendable
only i changed r11 (560 ohm) with 100 ohm, for more bass (in the high region it makes no difference)
also changed r30 (100K) with a higher value for more output, as the level was a bit to low
i tested triggering from an 606, and that works fine
also i made the cv input mod, tested it with my mate's 202, and that works also fine, a little out of scaling,
but usable still. think to build a baby10 sequencer to go along with it.. it a nice little monosynth (no filter) after all
also we put it true a tubescreamer and got a decent 909 kick out of it
808 kick was not the same, as the decay is differend
but there's many more sounds in it, a great range in fact
so thanks again Crusty Paul for sharing this, i am very happy with it !!
@ Computer at sea : hope you get it going soon !
