What happened to the Soothsayer?

Honestly, I felt like it wasn't good enough. I'm confident I got everything right as far as the circuit. There were a few things I didn't care for, or thought might be done a little differently. It came down to just not liking the type of compression it offers. It behaves more like a slow, soft limiter. Even with the spec'd vatcrol it's sluggish to compress the signal. I may take another look at it later but I'm not going to put something out I wouldn't use myself.

I know how frustrating it can be after spending time and $ on a project that doesn't work out.
Thanks for having such high standards.

Have you tried an original?
Your description of the Soothsayer doesn't seem to match.

Also, my experience with the XVive vactrols is that they are not like the originals...

Order placed.
Nice work!

Digi-Key has TC1044SCPA in stock at a reasonable price.

I don't have a lot of experience with this, so there's probably an easier way to do this.

You'll have to edit the package...

In the Control Panel window, click on File, then Open, then Library. Select the library that contains the part you want to edit.
This will open a new window. Select your Device (part) on the left, then double click on the associated Package (footprint) you want to edit. A new window opens with the footprint you selected. You can then move the pads where you want them. Click save and that should be it!
Not sure if you have to close and re-open Eagle to load the newly saved footprint.
Hope this helps!

SnapEDA has the part available...

The service is free and usually has the parts I need but you can also request parts to be created.
You will have to add it to your library.

Good luck!

Try Synthcube here in the states or Thonk in the UK. They cater to the synth community and may have a larger selection of 9mm pots. I've ordered from both and they have excellent customer service.
