![]() ![]() Swap IC 1 and 2 and see if you still have vco2 missing or vco1 missing. Mrcase wrote:I finished my build, all working except VCO2 isn´t doing anything, same issues two other members have. I’m still curious about the V3, but for now the lil Erebus is doing all I want. Take one away and the mojo just isn’t the same. Oscillators into the Erebus vcf with some pretty quirky envelopes. It’s just something about the combination of it all. I ran the lil Erebus osc into my boog and it sounded boring. For a long time I’ve been trying to figure out what gives the Erebus line it’s amazing character. I should also add that I tried using a white line Erebus filter on my boog oscillators using the boog env outputs to control the vcf and vca (vca was also white line), and it didn’t get me to the sound on the V2 or lil. And it’s worth it’s price as long as you can get it to work. The lil Erebus gets me that sound in the cheapest most basic way. Maybe because we’ve heard it too much? The Erebus line brings fresh untamed sound to my ears and I’m just drawn to it for some reason. ![]() I think the minimoog sound exists now only to show us what happens when you make a basic perfectly stable synth, you end up with something sort of boring. ![]() ![]() Compared to the Erebus line, the moog synths feel too clinical and perfect. It really complements my boog well and even puts the boog to shame in terms of having a raw ballsy untamed sound. Other than that, the basic sound of the lil Erebus is exactly what I wanted as a former owner of a V2. Once it works? I’m disappointed with the way the vca works, it’s just really hard to coax a decent envelope shape response from it. I believe I was as careful as possible with each build yet 4 for 4, each build had a problem and if it weren’t for my dad, I’d be sitting on 4 non working units. I’d say an average builder with access to my dad, an electronics expert who was able to help trace down each of my four builds’ issues including a bad transistor. I just want to summarize some thoughts on the lil Erebus. Įdit: having gone over the schematics alongside my work in more detail, I'm now fairly certain it's caused by tiny accidental scratches next to the solder pads causing shorts to the ground plane. Is the only solution for me to desolder the sockets? Bit of a daunting task. Is there anything obviously wrong that means I'm getting these 0v reads? Looking at the schematics, none of the pins I mentioned should go to GND. The voltage checks in the manual all pass fine. I think there's something more fundamentally wrong with my handiwork though - doing continuity checks on all of the IC sockets' pins, I'm getting shorts to ground on:Īside from this the ICs IC26 and IC1 get very hot just being plugged in for a few minutes. I've checked for obvious shorts before plugging in (between +ve, -ve and ground power pins) and no problem, so I went ahead and plugged it in. The output level also seems extremely quiet - the only 'normal' output level I get is with MIX/FEED turned all the way up, but mix turned down, oscillator output is very quiet. Having a similar issue to previous users with only one of the oscillators working. Just finished building mine, having a lot of trouble getting it to work properly. ![]()
