SK1 board photos needed

Hi eveyone,

I've had a request by someone wanting to know how to hook up my Phat Philter Bank to an SK-1 (I designed it for my SK-8, but it will easily adapt to the SK-1).

Not actually owning an SK-1, I can't show him the places on the board from which to tap the audio and filter CV for each voice.

There are some pics of the SK-1 board floating around, but none of them are hi-res or clear enough for me to make out and trace individual circuit tracks on the board coming out from the processor. Has anyone got some good pics of the board? Or is anyone willing to take some with a good digital camera and post them here or email them to me if they're too big to post here (I think the max size is 128K here)?

What I need is closeups of both sides of the board - probably 3 pics per side would do it, each pic covering a third of the board, and overlapping slightly with the other pics, so I can follow the tracks, and also see and identify individual components. You will need to have the camera set to MACRO or closup mode to do the pics at close range.

If someone could do this, that would be great! I can then actually incorporate the pics in my Phat Philter Bank guide, specifically for the SK-1. Of course, I will give written credit to you in the guide for the pics!
We could also have the pics as a bending resource for people.

Cheers, Graham

Taken the pictures just now...Going to see if i can stitch them together for you as well

Right, I'm just uploading the RAR archive for you. They're max resolution pictures taken with my canon DSLR so you can zoom in lots with out losing quality, yell if you need any extreme close ups and I'll get the macro adapter out.

Thanks to Signal:noise, I've updated my Phat Philter Bank illustrated guide to include hookup points for the audio and CV lines for the SK-1. You can get the guide from the Yahoo SK group forum, in the FILES section on the site (you need to join as a member though to access the files):

No worries dude.

Graham, is it cool if i upload the phat filter mods files to the circuitbenders webspace and include a text file explaining where they are from etc?

Please do, by all means! That way people won't have to join the Yahoo group just to download the guide. I would have posted it here myself but its way too big to post as an attachment in a thread.

It might be good if you also grabbed the board shots of the SK1 that Signal:Noise took as well and have them on this site for bend projects reference

Cheers and thanks! Graham
