Anyone have a use for these? I have 8 pulled from a Mirage.

They can be made into nice little filter modules can't they?

Depending on costs, I might bite.

I haven't read the data sheet yet but it's a four pole vcf. I was kind of hoping someone could point me in the direction of a schematic or, even better, a pcb Smile

Ah...Ok DUH!

I thought ypou were like trying to get rid of them or something.

try this

Sure, I'm open to that. I only want to keep one for myself and someone has already asked after 4 of them. So that leaves 3.

I have no idea what their value is, so make me an offer. I'm very open to trades.

The Data Sheet has a schematic for using this chip. The sound is good. the really nice thing about this chip is that the expo. circuit for the Cutoff CV is ON THE CHIP. Therefore, all you have to add is input and output buffers, and CV summing as well as a handful of passives.

The data sheet shows how the 3328 HAS Buffers on the chip, BUT when you consider the rarity/ cost of the chip, I think you will agree that you would be better off to use a Dual Op-amp and buffer the input AND the output.

ADDITIONALLY, you should operate this chip on +/- 12V. If I remember correctly, it has a low maximum supply voltage.

Jeff Pontius built a filter module with this IC. IIRC, the 3328 can easily be configured so that there is no amplitude loss in the passband at high resonance settings, which he accomplished. I'm not sure if I have his schematic or not - I'm sure he sent it to me at some point.

Hey all,

I have three remaining for trade if anyone is interested.

Yeah i love to see Jeff's design to.
I think this is one of the best CEM lowpass vcf designs.

So I guess my trade offer was not up to speed?

Ack! I'm sorry.... yes, that sounds great. I'll pm you in a second.

Here's Jeff's design. I took the time to make sure it was OK with his wife, which of course it was. Jeff sent this to me on 12 June, 2005 with the following text:

Quote:
I attached the latest 3328 filter schematic: (1) I changed the 10K
resistors to 100K on the FM input as the 10K did not provide enough
'sensitivity' to my incoming +-5V input ranges (same thing occurred on the
breadboard, but I suppose it just wasn't prominent enough to capture my
attention), (2) cleaned up a few component misdesignations, and (3) added
a few notes on pot connections and observations. Hope this helps. I'm
sure it is not an 'optimal' design for this filter, but I think it sounds
pretty reasonable and I like the resonance options. And, like we
speculated, the -IN does not interact with the Resonance Level control,
just the +INs.


Somehow he put my name on the schematic, too, though I can't remember contributing all that much to it. I do remember breadboarding it, and it did sound pretty dang good.

Jeff was one in a billion - he knew more about electronic music than anybody I've ever met, and he was an outstanding electronic musician. On top of that, he was just one hell of a human being; certainly one of the kindest and most knowledgable I've ever had the pleasure to have known. I'd say he's also my greatest musical influence, though he'd probably cringe if he caught me saying that Laughing

If you ever run across his "SynthImagery" CD, buy it, you'll not regret it. Powerful stuff.

Not required, but if anyone builds this module, it would be nice to see "Pontius" on the front of it......

Take care,
Scott

Old thread here but rather than start a new one I will post here.

Im wondering if anyone is using cem3328s, and if they are having similar experiences as I.

I'm not getting self oscillation until I apply around 7v to the resonance cv pin (pin 10). I'm using a similar layout to the pontius one above, except Ive eliminated the 47uf caps and I'm only dialing in the resonance via a voltage divider, ie no resonance modulation input and no buffers there either.

Datasheet specifies the resonance input should be 0-5v, and that it should self oscillate within that range.

Once it gets into oscillation, increasing the res voltage brings down the cutoff. I haven't noticed any interaction when res is below self oscillation.

Other thing I'm noticing is the output seems a bit quiet, I think.

Thanks for reading!
