284r EG build pics

Some pics of a Roman 284r.
It's compatable with Buchla modules.

I initially had problems triggering some of the envelopes, but all seems to be working now.

I'm not affiliated with anyone and I'm not a professional synth technician. This is my hobby and I hope these pics will help others trouble shoot their builds.

Good Luck.

Some pics from the build process

Some closeups

wHEN calibrating, adjust the trimpots carefully.
Initially, envelopes 2 & 4 didn't trigger.
After adjusting some of the trimpots, I managed to get them to fire.

This is how you self trigger.
Plug the pulse out into pulse input, then flick the sustain switch.
It's useful, if you don't have an external trigger, like a sequencer, or a 281, a 248, etc

Yoyogi Park Tokyo

If you're staying in Shibuya and have a few spare hours a great place to visit is Yoyogi Park.
It's adjacent to Harajuku Station and Meiji Shrine.

It was actually just a short walk from our hotel (Hotel Emit) in Shibuya ... just follow the train line to 5G mUSIC Technology (synthesizer store).

 5G (as most stores in Tokyo) open in the afternoon, so if you need to kill time in the morning, the park is a great place to do this.

This is the entrance (#Torii) gate.... it's a border between the secular or mundane world and the sacred....
 Most Shinto shrines have this gate.
It's a distinguishing feature between the Shinto shrine and the Buddist temple.
There is a special way to walk through the shrine... you must bow once, then walk through the side , not the centre.
The centre of the pathway through the shrine is considered to be for the kami (gods).

aVoid the centre as you walk down the path. Its 1km to the main building.

Meiji Jingu - Established on the 1st Nov 1920 ... nearly 100 years old.
It's a "man made" forest , planned to be a "real" forest in 100 years.
The forest is a shrine for national prayer and peace.

The shrine building was lost during WWII (fire) but was rebuilt in 1958.

The inner garden is 173 acres. The outer garden is 74 acres.
