NLC - Build notes for the Cellular Automata - Part 2

 This is part 2 of my build notes for the CA module
 
 This is the build so far

Trannies next
There are 16 x BC 847s
 
 Finally got the 072  op-amps on.

 Final caps and resistors
 

 
L4148 diodes next

Rectifiers to prevent accidental damage if the module is plugged in backwards




Headers,





Lots of jacks ..24





....
The CA is really beautiful to behold. The visual patterns are hypnotic. 
Plus I like that it outputs both CVs and gates.
Use a quantiser if you need precise CV values.

The clock input was a bit fussy.
Seems to prefer a square wave.
The CA works really well with the NLC 4seq
 
The 4seq has a clock divider.
The first division was patched into the CAs clock input.
The other divisions into the seed inputs.
The other module I like to use this with is a sequential switch.
If you patch the gate outs through the switch, you can get lots of variation
