Chris have done it again...
"Gwion of Holy Island Audio builds awesome stuff and, included in the package if you purchased the debut release from Gwion's band, Smothering, is a DIY PCB for a three oscillator drone synth called the Cannibal Pride. This is that synth, and it sounds KILLER - keep in mind that, as this is a sound source and not an effect, there is of course, no input."

this one makes me curious, nice album btw ! as soon as i can , i will try this one!
ReplyDeleteI assume if I don't want to use the CVs I can just omit the those jacks along with their 1n5817s and 1ks and the pedals operation won't change?
ReplyDeleteI"m assuming that should be just fine. When I first built/tested this, I didn't add the CV jacks until after I verified that I had output and all three oscillators functioned.
DeleteThis sounds great.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but, what value would the resistor on 16,E - 16,H be?
ReplyDelete"CLR" stands for Current Limiting Resistor and it can be anything from 1k-10k depending on how bright you like your LEDs to be. 4k7 seems to be what most folks use but I am practically blind so I use a lower value like 2k2.
ReplyDeleteAre the red caps a must or can I use green caps instead?
ReplyDeleteThe capacitors marked in red are just to show which three affect the frequency ranges of the oscillators. Use whatever cap material you have - ceramic, polyester, mylar, etc...
DeleteAwesome thank you
DeleteGreat little circuit. Oscillators sound great. I cannot get the CV inputs to work. Has anyone had any success with the CV inputs?
ReplyDeleteWhen I built this, I tested all three CV inputs with a dual wave LFO I found on experimentalists anonymous (a suggestion from NJGTR in the comments of the Wasp VC Filter). They work, altho, to TBH, the oscillators are pretty crazy without anything feeding them any extra oscillation. I remember thinking "this is definitely different, but not so interesting that I couldn't do without it"
DeleteWhat are you plugging into your CV jacks to test them?
