Just posting a note to say "hi", and I completed my Yocto build!

I'm an electronics engineer out here in NZ, and I have to say, I'm very impressed with the kit. Everything came present and correct, bar a single 220ohm resistor (which to be fair I probably just lost).

I'm so new-school that I actually struggled using thru-hole components. My day to day work is all with SMT, so it was cool having the chance to get "intimate" with all these old-school packages.

Very impressed with the silkscreen layout, very easy to follow.

I couldn't help myself, and upgraded the Master output section with a fancy opamp and caps. Sounds bitchin'.

I ended up getting pissed off with Eagle pretty quickly, and just imported the files into Altium Designer.

All in all, very stoked. I couldn't wipe the grin off my face when I played the first pattern.

today i got the yocto metal enclosure from ElSchtroumpf

literary like a tank crazy good quality !

so finally my yocto project is 100% done without any problem.

everything work great !

few days ago i did kick drum decay mod

so laster on you can hear the sound on here

here is my yocto run !

cheers~

After almost one and a half year I finally got the last pieces I needed to finish my Yocto. Yesterday I got a package from Thonk with my knobs, and this is what it looks like now :

Very nice Elschtroumpf! Kudos! I like your knobs!

Finally, my dream is realized. A few years back I was on the 3rd batch waiting list for the mythological beast known as the MB-808 (which never came to fruition). Thank you, Vincent, for the PCBs & kit; ElSchtroumpf, for the beautiful enclosure; gihaume, for the refined wood sides: Altitude909, for the Selco knobs.

Look, there is so much space on that front panel for additional pots...and on the back panel for some additional jacks…
Mods, people, mods...

Hi everybody!
I've finally finished the assembly of my Yocto! I've only a problem with the noise generator, so the snare drum don't sound perfectly, almost without noise (snappy).

Problem solved!
I've forgotten to remove a capacitor in parallel on R130 when i tested the last configuration seen on service manual. Now the sound seems right to me (R127 is 1K) even if there is not the typical value of 130 mV in the noise generator.
I did not imagine that this section was essential to produce the right sound!
