Oh wow that totally rocks! Yeah ext. CV in is just wonderful, what better to strap it
on than a GSSL...with the whole shaping component in a key in - that's really more
sensical to just stick with shaping for the key channel itself, that way you wouldn't
need some extra switch, you'd just have:

No HPF - HPF1 - HPF2 - HPF3 - Tilt1 - Tilt2 - Key - Ext CV

All on a 2x8 position rotary. Yeah

Now all you have to do is to put a car-ignition system into it. So you can brag. Like, "oh, you know.. my turbo-mega-superdildo-ssl-kompressor-with-an-afterburner... AND lightshow ..."

A..yeh...it is possible to use dg408/409 (analog muxes) or even same purpose 40xx stuff
and hex rotary switches for whole sidechain commutation..
(can be cheaper than elma/grayhill switch).

A CD4051 (HEF or other ...) would work here, you could build a very simple diode matrix to encode the binary control input, and use the "enable" pin as a global "bypass" of the VCA action.

Stylish.
Slightly retro.
Even more "stylish".

look at the "truth table" for CD4051.

Am I hallucinating now or did I read "fun table" first off and now it's "truth table" ?

 

[tv]

"fun table", eh?

This has been off the front page for far too long.

Hows the project trucking along?

Or even how does it sound?

Well currently getting a lot of forum orders done for PCB layouts, so beast got a bit of
a back seat.

I almost have to say I'm happy about that because a lot of the best stuff you do, you do
when you have months of pause between phases of making stuff, so your mind can reflect.

It's pretty finished by now in my head with all there is to it, question is if I can fit all that
stuff into the box but then again I'm not compromising, and if I have to do a clamshell
masterboard
