  1. Three new boards for my #StackSynth arrived from @aislerhq yesterday. They are buffer, #ADSR, and #VCO. The VCO is the first with #SMD components on the bottom side. Two resistor values are missing in my SMD collection: 30k and 68k. I already soldered the ADSR and tested it. The buffer will follow tomorrow.

  2. #prototyping an #ADSR #envelope generator on a solderless #breadboard for my #diysynth experiments. I used René Schmitz' design as reference, but using a #bipolar #NE555 instead of the required #CMOS variant, since I didn't have any of those.
    I captured the output using my cheap #oscilloscope and used a simple push button.
    It seems to work fine, though. I can live with the higher power usage.
    Next step: transfer it to a soldered perfboard.
