I've updated the Volca Mixer schematic to now have 6 inputs (making it officially twice as good as Korgs own version*).

Hopefully I shall finish making the PCBs soon and see if it works.

ReplyDeleteWow, this looks brilliant. Having just got into the Korg Volca world (I'm a bit of a late starter), this would be really useful to me. Did you ever get round to completing the build?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I got as far as having a working breadboard version, but I never got around to getting any PCBs made. I really wanted to, but I haven't had enough time :-(
DeleteI already have a PT2399 circuit built and a mixer built, seeing your schematics has given me the incentive to combine both. I'll be using your design if that's ok to combine the two. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I've been following this site for years and your Mini-Pops Drum Machine got me in to the whole Synth DIY/Arduino thing, I just want to say Thank You for sharing your work.
Hey! That's really nice to hear - thank you for your kind words :-) Best of luck with the mixer... if you already have both parts working it shouldn't be too hard to get it up and running. I made a video a while ago of the 3 input mixer, if it's any help...

Thanks again!
Well, Result. :-) I put together both boards and made a 4 input mixer with delay. Works as a passive mixer as well.

I've got some ideas for some future videos featuring the mixer. Thanks for everything.
Great you got it running - it looks really nice in the white case. Good work A+++++!
DeleteDid you have to change anything in the design to get it working?
DeleteSorry for the delay, had to take a few weeks away. My mixer board and delay board were already built so it was basically the concept and the wiring for the potentiometers I was needing help with. t's not without it's issues (it's quite noisy) but I'm hoping to sort these soon. I may even rebuild the board using your schematics.
DeleteI seem to remember the PT2399 delay chip has 2 grounds, a digital one and analog one... maybe check the data sheet to make sure the ground is wired correctly (digital only going to digital etc) - otherwise it might be the source of the noise. I think I've also had noise from the 7805 battery power converter... try keeping any audio parts away from it if you can
