Roolz Kaizens

Thanks to Steve Korn, LABROLZ looks like this now.

Only different in the right "border", which now instead of containing

images of a Whale, a Fox, a gourd, a maggot, and a capitol city;

it now has useful circuitry for a 5 channel stereo mixer!

so all the outputs of the LABROLZ can be brought together 

ONBOARD!

thanks steve.

i will be hand-assembling this border, since it is the border that the machine assembler uses to grasp the board and no surface mount can go here. thus it is good ole through-hole, just a little bit.  always gotta slog through improvements even if you think your done!

Laboratory Roolz Gewei (LABROLZ)

Just completed the gerber files for a new instrument:

Laboratory Roolz-Gewei.

Actually the Labrolz is not a new instrument, but based on a history of older instruments, starting with a paper circuit villagio of drum machines named "Rolz-5".  It then went through a baroque period as "Roolz-Gewei", who is also the first synth to be a "face" on Facebook.  The baroque Roolz-Gewei combined the Rolz-5 drum machine, now built on circuit board, with two "deerhorns" (radiosonic instruments).  Now the baroque Roolz-Gewei is laboratorized, with standard voltage control for all parameters, full analog math, and control voltage for the rhythm-rolz too.   Labrolz's name is "Fox-Whale" in Asia.  This refer's to Labrolz's dialectic between being a "Drum Machine" and a "Drama Machine".  Whether Fox is Drum, or Whale is Drama?  Here is the card written to Baroque customers at the beginning of the design period:
