How handy are you with a soldering iron? Do you have a multimeter or oscilloscope?
IIRC, Andrew had a problem with one of his oscillators but I thought he fixed it. I'd be very curious to see what's wrong with yours in case it _is_ something which will come up with other kits.
Totally possible. Right now WTPA2 is AC-coupled, but changing it to DC would be no big deal. As it stands now WTPA2 will probably handle LFOs or anything above a dozen Hz or so (how fast are LFOs?), but it won't handle static CVs.
I thought that might be cool. If I make a Eurorack version next I'll include the option.
@ToddBailey: I'm fairly handy with the iron. I do have a multimeter but no scope. Also, that IC is socketed on my shiz. Should I try swapping her out with a LM358 then?
Aaaaand the question/request onslaught continues: the WTPA2 send the knob twists as CC's out, but does it also pass the MIDI in thru the out? If not, can we get that as a setting? Maybe toggle it by hitting S3 in the MIDI setting boot mode? Ideally, we'd have 4 MIDI out options: none, thru, control change, thru & control change.
ALL MIDI passed thru would be great, no need to filter WTPA2 stuff out. If something downstream isn't supposed to hear those messages, they get set to a different channel.
...aaaand the final and biggest manual, the assembly manual is done. There are some sweet photos in this one. Please check me on anything you see amiss:
And with that, I am done with all major WTPA2 tasks.
WTPA2 will go on sale Friday. You heard it here first. I'll put the link up then.
I will probably ship ONLY ONCE before the Holidays, probably on Monday. Then again after the holidays. So the first orders will go out fast; then there will be a couple week delay before the next units.
Thanks for sticking around all this time. You guys rule.
Pricing will be close to the original estimate but probably not identical. And yep, it'll be done through PayPal. I'm guessing you'll have plenty of time to buy these; WTPA1 took months to sell out and there are more WTPA2s.
Sweeeet! I'm a medium sized fellow. Double great news because I just checked the multimeter and she's-a no got-a freq counter, so I was about to start shopping for one that does. Anyhow, I'm glad I was able to help!
Can anyone link me to a more musical demo of the WTPA? I have tried searching, and, while the videos are all great at showing the capabilities of the WTPA, I would like to see something in a more traditional context. Something more like a hip-hop or alternative-type song.
GCF Its more about wild mangling and free form kid606 sort of thing, what your describing is a more traditional mpc-ish sort of thing with an external filter? That said who knows what a trda approach might get from this. We is more audio pirate-ish.
