My polysynth was a long term project taking slightly more than 5 years. Finally finished in 1994.
Here's few words (and sounds) about it.
Please take look at these two pictures of its interior:
-
Overall view of PCBs and keyboard
On the left - power supply and little computer with control voltages source, in the middle - top PCB
with EGs and VCFs, on the right - main VCO, dividers, LFO regulators. All DIP8 devices you can see
are CA3080
-
If it wasn't poor quality picture, you'd see 4 layers of PCBs, uC and power
supply. But here you can see it clearly (different cammera)
-
Top PCB
VCF and ADSR (6 voices visible), tone frequency dividers and LFO's VCAs.
-
Most of digital circuitry is stacked under VCF board in 4 layers.
Counting from the bottom: keyboard scanner, voice assignement logic, DCOs, samplers. VCF board is
covered with protective PVC foam foil, so you can't see it there.
-
Look at dividers (right), LFO regulators (top) and from-keyboard-to-vcf
stacked PCBs (left) or from a different perspective
Few other pics:
VCF+EG board,
control voltages source and power supply,
blinking LEDs in VCF expo converters.
