Pyxis not working

Hi Stefan

I've built the Drum, Delay and VCA modules over the last few months and they are all great. However, the Pyxis won't work. I soldered the crystal on the wrong way round so I changed that and the STM chip is a bit messy but the rest of the soldering looks ok. The lights come on but no sound.

I realise it is discontinued (I bought it for a discount on Pusherman) but what do you think? Would sending me the schematics help?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks.

Michael

Hi Michael, There are several solder joints that look questionable. I’d recommend reflowing all ICs first and then checking whether that resolves the issue. Afterwards, it could also be worth reviewing joints with excess solder, like C56, R51, and similar parts

Thanks, Stefan

B100k Dual gang centre detent potentiometer for Sum v2 unobtainable

Hi there!

I am building the sum v2 at the moment, but I cannot find the pot meters for the pan levels.

Thonk does not stock them..

Mouser I can’t find them..

Any alternatives or should I just settle for the non detent ones?

Hey Marvin,

until your post here I didn't notice the "CD" in the IBOM ^^

I went with the BOM and built my SUM with regular stereo pots for PAN and EQ and they work just fine

Honeyeater V3 Bom

Hey Stefan,


Just a FYI about a couple of mistakes.

  • The BOM has the incorrect link for the 10K V/OFST trimmer.

  • The iBom has the incorrect value for R32. Should be 220K not 100K


Regards.

Hey, Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve fixed the trimmer link.

Regarding the iBOM: please ignore the values shown there and use only the Excel BOM for part values. The iBOM currently contains incorrect values and should be used only as a placement/part-location reference on the PCB, not for component specifications. Thanks, Stefan

Push module help

I have built two push modules, one works correctly, the 2nd won't increment with a button push. The reset works correctly as when I power it on the starting step is somewhat random and pressing reset returns it to step one.


If I jump from pin one of the cd4024 to either of the upper pins on the switch the switch glows dully and the step increments / cycles. When i press the switch it does glow and I do not believe the switch is at fault. What is the signal path from the switch to pin 1 on the CD4024? I havn't been able to beep it out with my multimeter.

Hey James,


I´m sorry to hear your Push is not working correctly. I have sent the schematics via email, hope this helps troubleshooting. As a first step I would reflow U1 and U2.

Thanks,

Stefan

zero hp modules in Europe

Hi,

I'm trying to get a few of the zero HP modules but apparently the two German vendors don't seem to have them.

Is pusherman really the closest option?

Hey Clemens,

Yeah, it’s basically up to the vendors which modules or designs they decide to carry. I totally get that Pusherman has become less attractive since Brexit, but right now they’re still the only dealer offering the full range.

You can always hit up your preferred ST Modular dealer and ask if they can stock a specific design.

Sorry I can’t point you to a German vendor with the full lineup.

Cheers, Stefan

Controller BOM issue

Hey Stefan,


R14, R25, R29, R36 are supposed to be 100R resistors according to the BOM.


The Mouser Link directs to 220R Resistors.


Can you please clarify the correct value?


Thank you.


Best

Hey Alex,

Thanks for pointing this out.


Both values actually work, since the LED current limiting is handled by the brightness trimmers for each slider LED. Choosing 100R just gives you a slightly higher maximum brightness range on the trimmer.


To keep things consistent and avoid confusion in the future, I’ve updated the Mouser link to the 100R version.


Cheers,

Stefan

Alstaden Troubleshooting

Hey all,


i'm having problems with my Alstaden build.


No Output on Wave A, Pulse and Sine.


Wave B, Sub, OUT EQ, Pitch and Finetune work perfectly fine.


First time i soldered Q1 wrong orientation. Maybe that fried another IC?


Any help or schematics greatly appreciated!

Hey Alex, You´ve got mail! 😉 The outputs you desxcribed are directly connected to Q1, so it might be a good idea to solder a new DMMT3904, also recheck U6! Cheers, Stefan

2xLFO questions

Hello all, I would like to know the following on the 2xLFO: 1) what are the audio RATES of the lfos? At the very least what's the slowest rate? 2) where could I obtain this module assembled? It doesn't seem to exist anywhere. Thanks so much.

Hey Kevin, The 2xLFO covers a very wide frequency range in two range modes:


In the slow range it goes down to about 0.0024 Hz, which is roughly one cycle every seven minutes, and it reaches about 0.05 Hz at the fastest setting in that range.


With the fast range engaged, the LFO runs from roughly 1.2 Hz up to about 24.5 Hz, which means it can reach low audio-rate modulation. The output amplitude is typically around 8–10 V peak-to-peak. Currently the module is only availbale as DIY PCB & Panel set. Thanks, Stefan

No Resonance on Hans Filter

I just bought an assembled Hans filter from Pusherman. The resonance pot has no effect on the output sound except when higher than 3:00, and then only slightly. I wonder if the module was built with a bad or incorrect resistor in the feedback loop.


I can email a video of it in operation if necessary; along with a spectrogram.


Board v1.1. The solder joints all look good under a magnifying glass.


How should I proceed with warrantee repair? Is there anything I can test at home?

Hey Shak,

What you’re experiencing is actually the expected behavior of the filter. The resonance begins to come in very subtly around the 12 o’clock position, becomes more pronounced by 3 o’clock, and may get a little unstable beyond that point. This is due to some necessary design compromises in order to keep the circuitry simple and still fit a stereo filter into such a compact HP format.

If you’d like the resonance to take effect earlier, you can reduce the values of resistors R19 and R31. Just keep in mind that this will also make the circuit less stable (what I did not find desirable). Another option is to replace the resonance stereo potentiometer with a linear type, which can give a different feel to the response. Thanks, Stefan
