sorry, i meant, assuming this 208 pseudo random thing to be driven by a VC-CLOCK (-10v into any vco), if you use the same signal (1V/oct, velocity...) for controlling both clock rate and Portamento/ 218 slew cv input, you have correlation between speed and slew.

sounds are sharper as rythm increases.

Here's what i mean (the fx is a little excessive) :

208 218 lfo saw control sample on http://sslstudiodesign.free.fr/218/

A descending ramp (saw lfo) controls both clock rate (wogglebug NE555) and CV IN on 218 slew.
First 208 output is processed trough this latter.

There is four sequences, i've cut control for 218 on the last. (ie all notes are fully slewed even at high clock rate)

I'm sure you could get cool patches with one or two (oncoming) Dunsel circuits here...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
208 outputs have a big big range ; it can be too much if you processed them via reversible attenuator (half curse) or use them for VCO.
I've put two voltage dividers (for 5V or so) on the two first outputs.
The two last are used for buchla (292 cv in, vactrol panner/xfader...)

Thank you for these pcb vtl5c3 Smile

Hi FUnky,

What is the Dunsel circuit?

you can get the positive part of any signal on a socket, and the negative part on another separate output socket Smile (with no 0,7v drop...)

wow, i wish to have such a board,
what's missed is -A +5V,
has anybody n advice how to do this
ahh ok, i think i just have to come with +A instead of -A for the offset block, right ? ( see A+5 schematic top right )

Smile

yes !

A-5 = - (-A+5) = -(-A)-5
A+5 = - (-A-5) = -(-A)+5

What you've just described is an ideal diode circuit. This is an exceedingly useful device for synth circuit design. If anyone hasn't already, be sure to check out Jim Patchell's write-up on it here:

http://www.uni-bonn.de/~uzs159/diode_tutorial/index.html

I used it to derive the output permutations in the original design of the Appendage. Lately, I've used it as a building block in a design I've been absorbed in.

This is a scope shot of a few outputs of the project. The top triangle wave is one octave below the fundamental - it was derived by means other than an ideal diode. The bottom triangle wave, however, was obtained through the use of ideal diode circuits - it's two octaves above the fundamental. Both waveforms are simultaneous from the same VCO.

Cheerios,
Scott

Hi Romeo,
i'm planning to build 2 of these, but as i wrote up a parts list, i was unsure what 'FB' stands for (on the parts layout pdf).

That's it ! IDEAL diode with no voltage drop.

I've build Patchell's too, with a -VBreak pot ; but i can remember outputs need to be buffered for multiple use.
Or maybe my two LED drivers need to be buffered...

The Dunsel module also have a FWR from these two outputs !?
Don't think about its use already...

Very Happy

What type of capacitors would be appropriate for this circuit? I was planning on just using ceramics throughout as I have a lot of 0.1uF ceramics lying around. That should be fine, shouldn't it?

Yep, ceramics should be fine. They're mostly there for supply decoupling, which ceramics do pretty well. The board has spots for 10uF caps at the supply inputs, but you can probably leave those out.

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

Finished this recently. The most fun per rack unit in my whole system. thanks Romeo, Scott, and of course Mr. B.

I noticed that Scotts schematic wants 15 volts. would this work on 12?

Here's a quick sample. Nothing fancy. The module is feeding 3 VCO's. Its being clocked by an LFO, the frequency of which is being occasionally goosed by an EG triggered by the Blacet Event Generator.

Has anyone had problems with the 4015 locking up and then no random CVs are produced? Powering off then on again will restart.

Thanks Dave
