README
README.md281D
A quad function generator project
The 281D Quad Function Generator is designed to replicate the functionality of the Buchla 281 module using modern construction techniques and readily available parts. It is primarily based on the original circuit designed by Don Buchla, with the following additions/alterations:
- Improved input and mode selection circuitry – no requirement to “kick” the generators when selecting self cycle mode.
- All outputs are buffered, protecting the integrator core and passive end pulse generation from the effects of loading when stacked to multiple inputs.
- End pulse outputs are designed to allow stacking of multiple outputs to a single input without affecting cycling of individual generators, allowing the creation of complex/non-repeating/polyrhythmic pulse sequences. Unlike other solutions that simply add a diode in series with the output, the 281D end pulse outputs can drive a floating input low.
There are several build options to adjust the function of the module to a particular users requirements.
The repository contains:
- KiCad project files.
- Schematic and build/calibration notes as PDF files.
- Bill of Materials in ODS format.
- Interactive webpage for matching BOM items to PCB locations.

Questions
How big is the 281D PCB?
It measures 104 × 158 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 281D use?
380 parts, built around the LM13700M, TL072, L78L10ACU and BAT54WS. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the 281D KiCad files?
From the DunningtonAudio/281D repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 281D.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 281D design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
