I'm glad to see people putting my schematics to use.
Thanks for sharing RingMad _________________ JacobWatters.com |

On my "to build" list. With a 12 position switch to select different outs of the 4040. |

I breadboarded this last night, and i think it's the single best lunetta piece i've found. Totally amazing.
And i might have to steal that 12 position switch idea. |

Thanks for that schematic Phobos. Much easier to read what it does.
I didn't try when I had it bread boarded, but I wonder what it would do with the 1 stage outputs added to the mix. Maybe add 2 more steps that aren't as wide? _________________ JacobWatters.com |

Thanks for the diagram and for the
Phobos
I love block diagrams, they are so easy to understand
An addiotional thought: would it be possible to get a scope screenshot of the input(clock) wave against the output? _________________ As a mad scientist I am ruled by the dictum of science: "I could be wrong about this but lets find out"

well I couldn't hold back any longer and just breadboarded it.
first thing I changed was removing the resistor attached to the CLK input since this only adds
the source frequency which is rather high (unless you're using it as an LFO).
instead add a resistor to the input of the 4006 (pin 1)
Cynosure wrote: | I didn't try when I had it bread boarded, but I wonder what it would do with the 1 stage outputs added to the mix. Maybe add 2 more steps that aren't as wide? |
yep that's what it does,. so I added resistors to both pin 12 and pin 9 for some extra steps.
another thing I'm trying right now is an oscillator attached to the reset pin of the 4040
(high speed but lower than source). This gives some very nice filtering sounds.
I also noticed that some of the ouputs of the 4040 don't create any really interesting
sounds/waveforms so I don't think a 12 step switch/mux is necessary. 8 is probably
more then enough. But I have to do some tests first. _________________ "My perf, it's full of holes!"

Unfortunately, from my usual electronics supplier, the 4067 IC is more expensive than the 12 way rotary switch and a dial So I'll be sticking to them for now. On second thoughts, perhaps stackable banana plugs? _________________ As a mad scientist I am ruled by the dictum of science: "I could be wrong about this but lets find out"

Right on! I've been digging this great circuit for a couple weeks!

Hmmm, it could also be that depending on the signal going into it, some of the lower divisions are too high frequency to hear? That said, I probably will not be using all 12 outs either when it goes into a more permanent home.
I forgot about the reset pin of the 4040... I'll try that now. [... some minutes later ...] hmmm, in my case, I have this hooked up to the crazy "4051 ANY Gate" (which required me to buffer its output before going into this waveshaper)... I wouldn't qualify the sounds as filtering maybe... I get more rhythmic patterns. One day hopefully soon I'll hook this up to something more "normal".

Yeah, it's a big'un... 24 pins, wide body. I managed to get a good deal on a few on ebay, rather than my usual electronics stores.

well, I'm currently doing some tests with my scope, and taking notes on how the waveform changes
using different ouputs of the 4040 and 4006. At the moment I'm only using the 4-stage shiftregisters
of the 4006 (so I connected pin 11 to 5 instead of 12 to 5 skipping the 1-stage) and I have resistors
placed at the ouputs of each shiftregister and also a resistor on the input (which gets the divided
clock from the 4040). This results in a nice symmetrical 5 step triangle when using Q6 (pin 2)
of the 4040. Using Q5 changes it to a 3 step triangle, while Q4 to Q1 give a square wave with a
different frequency/amplitude. (So you're just getting a division of the Clk no interesting waveform)
Using outputs Q7 to Q12 gives 5 steps but with a longer pause between the triangles (the steps
themselves stay the same length). this creates a pulsed sound.

I use the following setup to create the "filtered" sound; for the main Clk oscillator I use a 1nf cap and 500K pot.
for the reset I have an oscillator with a 100nF cap and 500K pot. Now if you turn the clk pot it produces
a very nice sound, especially if you set the reset oscillator at a fairly high speed. It looks great on the
scope btw,. stepped triangles popping up like mushrooms
I think using switches or better yet, some logic to switch the resistors connected to the 4006
on and off will be more interesting than using different outputs of the 4040. Adding some
resistors to the outputs of the 4040, connected to the same point as all the others, also sounds very nice.
edit:
here's a schematic + waveform and a nice scopeshot, this should clear things up a bit more.

Yay scope screen shots! Thats very interesting to see that the clock is much faster than the output, hmm ... I invented a frequency multiplier which multiplies by whole numbers (2, 4, 8, etc) so you could theoretically put your audio into that and get a wave out of this wave shaper the same frequency as your input _________________ As a mad scientist I am ruled by the dictum of science: "I could be wrong about this but lets find out"

Can you share the multiplier schematic?
I was thinking of using a highpass filter on alternating outputs from a schmidt trigger, but that would require at least 2 ic's just to multiple up to 8. I also saw schematic that does something similar with a 4069.
How does yours work? _________________ JacobWatters.com |

Hahahah, yes I'm certain it has been done but I came up with this idea without prior knowledge of anyone else having done it, I'll start a new thread for it in the main DIY forum and link it via this post.

speaking of things that have been done before, I switched from using a 4006, to a 4015 which contains
two 4-stage shiftregisters with outputs for each stage. You can use one of these 4-stage shiftregister to
create a similar symmetrical triangle as with the four 4-stage shiftregisters from the 4006, with the
difference that each step now only lasts 1 CLK period instead of 4. this also means you don't need to
divide by 64 anymore and you can use a lower CLK speed in general.
But like I said it contains TWO 4 stage shiftregisters. You can chain them in series for an 8 step triangle,
using the /16 (pin 5) output of the 4040. But you can do all kinds of other things too, instead of linking
them in series use an oscillator to feed data into the 2nd 4-stage shifregister or connect it to a different
output of the 4040 or whatever you come up with. It also has individual CLK and Reset pins for each
shiftregister so in total you could just hook up 6 oscillators directly (40106 ), which can produce some
nice drones. And after watching the waveforms,. I think that with low speeds this thing could make
a very interesting 'stepping' LFO.
Offcourse in Lunetta land this has been done before allthough probably mostly using an R/2R ladder. _________________ "My perf, it's full of holes!"

Why can't I yell eureka if I come up with something myself? I will yell eureka as I please, then if someone else has done it we can yell eureka together _________________ As a mad scientist I am ruled by the dictum of science: "I could be wrong about this but lets find out"

Hey dudes,
This is stuff very close to my heart. (re-creating analogue style waveforms using real time digital controlers, on the fly!)
If you have time, please check this thread,
http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-33381.html&postorder=asc&highlight=reanimator
and let me know what you think?
I've got a whole new set of ideas which would make it a lot better. Would be great to bounce them around with other minds. _________________ What makes a space ours, is what we put there, and what we do there. |

ok here's the simple 8-step triangle setup.
(I'm a bit disabled at the moment,. will be hooking up some oscillators and maybe make a video when I can)
Uncle Krunkus: I quickly scanned the thread, it looks interesting. I'll have to look into that some other time.
