Hi all, this is the place to find the latest building documents for Black Corporation's Deckard's Dream polyphonic synthesizer. Currently, this project is at rev 1.0, PCB's are currently being released to builders. (18.Oct. 2017) and are being constructed. A new PCB version rev. 2.1 is planned and the release is planned for July 2018, this page is only for rev.1.x |

Product Info: the Deckard's Dream product is available as Build to order and DIY KIT Version, both released in 2017. Its also known or coined as the "DDRM". The difference in the DIY KIT and assembled (Build to order) are:
Note: Although the DIY has most of the SMT devices pre-installed onto the PCBs, there are over 675 SMT decoupling capacitors (0805) and one small (SOIC8) power switch device that MUST be installed by the builder, in addition to the through hole components A addional 1U expander is planned - more later.

Current identified Errors/Omissions/Errata:
Resolution
Steve Sommers - Capacitor C188 designation is duplicated. C186 is missing.
From Roman:
PCB: Voice card
Rev 1.0
These are not used and were left in place for possible filter modifications. Leave the components spaces empty (do not put anything there).
PSU Board
Rev 1.0
PSU Board Changes per Roman:
Change C12 to 1uf 6.3V or higher
Change C13 - 330uf 6.3V or higher 8MM DIA /3.5 LS
C13 increased delays the boot of +3.3v digital rail, c12 reduced makes 5v analog rail boot faster,
so, DACs start with no problem
Without change sometimes they don’t start, since digital 3.3v comes to DAC before 5v

To apply the "glitch fix", you will need to solder two 1.0 Meg resistors per voice board, one for each oscillator. They can be easily added to the back side of the circuit board, so all existing components can remain unchanged.
In the schematic, the 1M resistors should be added to the voice board from IC4 pin 4 to +12V, and from IC4 pin 5 to +12V. Below is an image of the modification done to my voice board, showing you the optimal locations for the resistors to minimize lead length. The tolerance for the resistors is not critical at all, 5% resistors can be easily used. If needed, you can apply a small amount of silicon glue to hold the resistors in place, or even add insulation to the leads to prevent the possibility of a short.

Ultravox reply: "The cart doesn't include items that the BOM says are sourced from eBay, Small Bear, synthcube, etc."
About partsourcing: check the price for the next price break ( 3 resistors are more expensive than 10)
for EU users: order from www.TME.eu standard parts, its cheaper as mouser
