Couple of Questions about the Circuit #2

Description

@BGR360

Hey Ross, I am planning to do a through-hole clone of the Muskrat for my own rack and would like to ask some clarifying questions about the circuit:

Knob / Pin / Parameter mappings

Is my understanding below correct?

  • Scratch == “Size” or “[??] Select” (schematic) == pot1 / fuckery (code) == A1/ADC1/PB2
  • Chew == “Pitch" (schematic) == pot2 / pitch (code) == A2/ADC2/PB4
  • Dig == “File” (schematic) == pot3 / select (code) == A3/ADC3/PB3
  • Muskrat Switch / Input == “Reverse” or “Toggle in” (schematic) == trigState (code) == 1/MOSI/PB0

Pin mapping typo in the schematic?

If my understanding above is correct, then I believe the schematic has incorrect labels for the MCU pins:

muskrat attiny

According to the code, I think the schematic should read:

muskrat attiny fixed

Is this correct?

What dis mean?

I don’t know what to make of this “/ MISO” on the unconnected pin of the Muskrat Switch:

muskrat reverse miso

If anything, I’d expect it to say “/ MOSI” as this is where the toggle input goes. It would also make sense that it doesn’t actually mean anything and this pin has no connection.

And then what dis mean?

What does this “68r” mean by the ferrite beads? Does it mean a 68R resistor could replace the ferrite beads?

muskrat ferrite

CV connections to the ATTiny

There’s nothing I can see in the schematic that explicitly denotes which parts of the circuit are connected to which pins of the ATTiny, but I think the idea is straightforward: There are 4 parameters and there’s an input circuit with clipping diodes for each one.

So does each CV input connect to a pin on the ATTiny like below?

muskrat pitch to pitch

Should I add a 10k resistor between the clipped CV and the pin as you do in the Dialup circuit?

dialup resistor

Components

Here’s what I’m assuming about the components based on what you told me for the GMO:

  • All clipping diodes are labeled as 1N4148 in the schematic so they should be fine, although schottkeys might clip harder.
  • Reverse protection diodes are 60v 1A B160-13-F schottkeys
  • 5v reference is 78L05 or 7805
  • All op amps are TL07x
  • Transistors are 2N3904

Thanks!!

Sorry for the wall of text and thank you for your hard work! Keep it up :) good shit
