3Trins Plugin: Video in-Lines
Some pics of my build for the last of the 4 new plugins for the 3-trins video synthesizer by
Gijs Gieskes. Called "Video In Lines".
The manual says :
" This plugin adds high frequency vertical square wave lines (to) selected inputs.
These inputs can be any of the header connection points.
It works best on the output connection points or the - connection points,
so connect for instance >0Filt to <>Rout.
CV inputs wont work well, because the frequency is to high".
The official plug-ins page is here.

The SN74HC14N is a Inverting Hex Schmitt-Trigger.
A Schmitt trigger is a comparator circuit with hysteresis. It converts an analog input signal to a digital output signal.
I think the 7414 is being used here to build the oscillator circuit.
for the new high speed square waves.
So we have 4 outputs and two reset inputs.

3Trins Plugin: 2xVideo in Negative

Gijs Gieskes.

This is called the "2xVideo in Negative"
Looks like it adds TWO more external video inputs to the header
The manual says that the "two signals can be faded independently and are inverted.
You can make them positive by using the - (minus) inputs".
These (V1 & V2) appear to be inputs only. Maybe for plugging some modulation sources like LFOs ???

::HEADER CONNECTION.
There are 3 header inputs for each connection

This is slightly different to the previous 2SPDT/4SPST build.
This SPST & SPDT uses a CMOS 4066. It's a Quadruple Bilateral Analog Switch.
The SPST&SPDT behaves like a CV controlled switch.
There are just 2 switches:
Switch A on the front & switch B on the rear.
Switch A has the following connections (on the extreme right in the photo above):
<> 1CTRL: Toggle input
<> 1Anc: Normally connected
<> 1Bno: Normally open
<> 1AB:Pole/common connector
The "1CTRL" input is where you plug your modulation source (such as a LFO).
The pot on the right appears to modulate the 1CTRL input
Switch B on the rear has these connections:
<> 2CTRL: Toggle input
<> 2Bno: Normally open (multiple connection)
<> 2Bno: Normally open
<> 2Ano: Normally open
The "2CTRL" input is where you plug your modulation source (such as a LFO).
The pot on the left appears to modulate the 2CTRL input
2n3904 TRANNIE
tOP header
Testing the perspex guards.... the transistor needs to be bent down for everything to fit.
Example patch:
So you take a signal, eg video from the header and patch it to 1AB.
Then run G- to 1Anc and B- to 1Bno.
Now patch one of the LFOs (eg F01a) to 1CTRL. The knob on the right appears to set the point where switching occurs ...you should start seeing the video input jumping from B- to R- in time with the LFO.
The B side is similar, but it just connects two points On or off, instead of the A sides 'this or that'.

3 trins -video synth plugin - 2xSPDT & 4XSPST

This (as the name implies) uses 6 push button switches.
Two single pole, double throw (SPDT) & four single pole , single single throw (SPST)
Looks like switches A & B are the SPDT.
Switches C,D,E,F are the SPST
These will turn on & off any extra connections you that you choose to make using the upper header patch bay.
aND the other side:
The upper header first;
Finished.
Such a simple build. Now to try some patches:
tHE switch system is really cool and easy.
The inputs and outputs of the SPDT switches (buttons A & B) are on the left of the module.
Connections for Switch A is on the front & for switch B on the back.
For switch A:
So you would connect any inputs to AP1 and outputs to AT1 & AT2
-----------------
The right side (front) has connections for the C & D switches.
That same side on the rear has connections for E & F. (FR,FT & EP,ET)

3trins to banana breakout box
The 3trins mini patchbay is wonderful but at times difficult to see (esp in low light).
And I'm a big fan of bananas. .. they are stackable and fast.
My initial attempts were to build a permanent panel.
