Re: Noise section trimmer voltage?

Is it possible to trim this by ear? Doesn't this trimpot control the amount of white noise going in to the "snappy" of the snare drum?

Re: Yocto build completed!

Congrats!

Do you figure you overheated the transistors or did they just come busted with the kit?

What did you do about the germanium diode, did you replace it with a different type?

Re: Question about R334 and R373 (rimshot/handclap)

Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure if I get what you are saying. Is it safe for me to continue into the handclap despite not having inserted IC's or measured voltages on the rimshot?

Question about R334 and R373 (rimshot/handclap)

Hello! I'm in the process of building a Yocto, everything has being going good until I noticed that 3 out of 6 germanium diodes seem to have gone bad, and I'll have to replace them at the hardware store on monday. Because of that I haven't been checking voltages since snare drum, but I figured I'd b...

Re: All Yocto Mods

Is it possible to change a resistor value to simply lower the fixed pitch of the BD?

Re: Check your Germanium diodes!

I measured mine and the values were:

.296
.293
.327
1.640
.691
.644

Isn't around 0.3 normal? Whats up with the 1.640 one?
