Thomas Henry's "Mankato"

Pic's via Magic Smoke


What I like about Thomas Hennry's designs is his innovation. He shares it all with the D.I.Y community and has helped us look ahead towards the future.
He has wrote a few book's on Synth design. link
Making Music with the 3080 OTA is one that really influences the modular DIY community right now.

The TH-201 is a Voltage control filter that uses the SSM-2164 chip. Whats cool about this project is the flexablity of this module.

• 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB outputs
• inverted 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB outputs
• 45 degrees of phase difference between each output
• 8-phase sine wave oscillator

You can find PCB's at Tom Servos site Magic Smoke. He also sells PCB's of other Hennry's designs.

I have been following the posts over at electro-music.com about this very cool sounding module. Its the 3rd run of a modular DIY project's and all you can do is order the PCB. Unfortunately the run is now closed but maybe if you ask relay nice he may be able to slip you in.

fonitrOnilk also has a very cool site about his DIY modular.

Killer work from bcbox.

Roland BA6110

The BA6110 is a VCA on a chip that is very similar to the rare and expensive BA662A. Used in almost all older Roland synth's and most famously in the TB-303.

I got a dead batch from http://www.pacificsemi.com/ in picture.
Apparently the date code of 420 178 is a bad batch.

Subatomic Glue did a comparison between the two in a x0xb0x. Check it out
