Subject description: SOLD OUT
Reply with quote  Mark this post and the followings unread

hi all,

for use with my KLEE and VCPS-8 sequencers i always wanted a Clock with PWM. since in those sequencers the length of the trigger out depends on the duty cycle of the clock, PWM of the clock will add live to the sequences.

here are two very short sound samples (mp3) that show what i mean. the trigger out of the sequencer is routed to the cutoff of a ssm2044 filter:
VC CLock PWM VC CLock Speed CV

BUILDING DOCS:
Documentation 9 MAR 2011

the CV Clock features a manual speed control, CV in for speed with attenuator, manual PW control, CV in for PWM with attenuVERTER(!), clock output, and an indicator LED.
the VCO creates a falling ramp. the clock pulse is derived from that falling ramp using a comparator, thus you will not have a change in timing when doing PWM!

i am taking pre-orders until 7th of FEB. PCBs should be available mid/end of february.
(see: Recommendations for PCB offers on electro-music)
SOLD OUT

the price will be:

5.-EUR/7.-USD each PCB

+ packaging & postage (revised, german postal service changed their prices)
outside europe: 2 PCBs = 3.-USD / 3+ PCBs = 5.50 USD
europe: 2 PCBs = 2.-EUR / 3+ PCBs 4.-EUR
deutschland: 2 PCBs = 1.-EUR / 3+ PCBs 1.50EUR

Fonik,

I would be interested in at least 2, possibly 3.

Regards

I'd go for three of these, Matthias

Thanks for offering...

Two please!

You know...I'm a huge fan of your products, fonik...but so far I haven't gotten around to building any of them! Embarassed

That day will come, but it'll still be a while; I'm collecting projects for later while slowly working away on a prioritized list. Confused

Hello,

3 for me,please. Wink

Would it be possible to run two (or more) of these pcbs in sync to each other?

This would make it much easier to play around with two (or more) sequencers running on the same clock but with different pwm-settings.

Best regards
Greg

Very nice I will take at least 4 also please mathias Smile
if you can add a sync in , I will make that 12 Very Happy Cool
the ability to sync would really be a most usefull addition

Sounds great Matthias, I'll take half a dozen if this goes ahead.

i hear you. however, the design and prototype is already finished and tested as is.

cool idea.
what you could do was to use only one VCO core of the 1st PCB and then route it via the TP1 wire pad to the comparator section of the 2nd PCB (or to all the others, you wanted to use. with a little bit more tweaking you could even use a switch for master/slave mode.

That`s exactly what I had in mind! Glad to here that it`s doable in that easy way. thumb up

What about an external input to the comperator section? For example,Din-Sync fed into the comperator,possible or not? dunno

hi mathias just wondering I am not sure if it can be this simple but if
I kludged an analogue switch say one section of a dg412 at c2 to provide a dump cct and sent a clock signal to the logic in would that provide a reasonable sync to a master ? I maybe completely wrong but the switch would only need to short c2 ? of course it may just make it a very odd clock or nothing at all. I still have so much to learn here
since there are 4 spst in a dg412 I was thinking it would be good for a quad unit

one could add multiple inputs to the comparator, sure. however, feeding a logic signal into a comparator does not make that much sense, doesn't it?

i would think your approac would be a kind of reset? i dunno.
i will try some options tonight. however, i'd rather tried to sync it via IC1B.

reset yes I think you would be correct if iam reading it right mfos's vco sync is done kind of a similar way in theory though the implementation is far more complex to my mind hence my concern at how simplistic i was making it
1 chip for 4 ccts and 2 resistors per cct for the logic in's
just sounds too good so I dunno either
guess I will just try it out on breadboard when i can free it up
it's got a vactrol based pan on it at the minute

thanks for taking the time Smile
