Shouldn't level level controls go to "11?"
11? I dunno. Is there a standard scale for audio levels? Most everything I own doesnt even have scales.

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

While Im waiting on some more parts I decided to try my hand at desinging the front panel for this thing. I finally think I have the hang of the software, or at least I hope this is what I will end up getting when I order it.

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

Will it be possible to bring any of the 'under the hood' parameters like attack, release and ratio, out to the front panel? To use it in a production as opposed to broadcast environment I think that would be necessary. Really cool project though. Following closely. I think that is a possibility I c...

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

I made some progress getting one board and the the display boards up and running. Found out I reversed the order of the display LEDs but that was fixed with a software change. Another issue I discovered was that when I decided on the suggested alternative for the DG418 I picked the one rated for 8V ...

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

Funny thing is the parts Im waiting on are LED spacers for the displays. I managed to build up two processor boards this evening in the meantime.

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

Boards arrived today. Most of the parts are here, just waiting on one item yet in a shipment from Mouser due tomorrow. I hope to have this up and running and checked out this weekend.

Another one since earlier this year? :shock:

Seeing six months to a year lead time is crazy.

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

I plan to offer the display boards with the SMD parts assembled as well as the PIC chips pre-programmed. Everything should be just wire and go. Once I have my rack mount enclosure I will assemble this into a real project and create my FPE design file. I need to spin up the input/output circuit yet w...

Re: Texar Prism clone prototype

A through hole version of the design is now in the works. The only board that is still SMD is the display board but the display ICs are SOIC which is still reasonable to hand solder, plus there arent alternatives in DIP. Boards and parts are on order and my goal is to have this built and tested in a...
