Electronic Synthesiser Projects by M K Berry Subject description: copy wanted |
 |

Hi.
Has any one got a copy of this book they can photo copy for me,
only want the chapter on the sequencer and will pay any costs incurred
I built this sequencer in the early nineties but when I sold the sequencer I gave the book away with it.
Now shocked at the price second hand book shops want for this little book |

Wow that is just wierd. I thought for $16 I would have a look at Amazon.co.uk. Well knock me over with a teleharmonium, the cheapest was 84 quid. The most expensive was £3000!!!!!!!!!!! For a poxy old Babani project book. Jeez I am kicking myself as I binned my copy 10 years ago, _________________ Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister on Hawkwind;

I've still got a copy of this book and another M K Berry title "Electronic Music and Creative Tape Recording". I've seen them both for sale for £3000 - they cannot be serious! I know what I think that they're really worth...

P.S. I did scan a few pages for micromusic, but don't tell the copyright police. |

So... BUMP!
Does anybody know where to get a pdf, djvu or whatever?
Are the designs exponential or linear, like on most other books? |

Sorry only just looked at this post!!!!
I have now sourced a copy and can try and scan it if you are desperate
I only wanted the sequencer parts and made one, but could not get the damn thing to work. The frustrating thing is I made one over 20 years ago and it worked first time  |

If I may, what features does this sequencer have over other ones? I'm interested to know what tricks it has  |

Hi Micromusic
How many pages need scanning and what size is the book?
Am in London and could scan and post back book & email/pm scan if not too many pages or awkward size.
+1 on what Alan P says please tell us a bit more about the sequencer and the book.

Hi
To be honest the book has only a small bit I found useful I did make the VCOs from this book , one was based on the 3080 function generator chip which could make a nice LFO and the other was transistor core based one which I made but could not get to work I think that one is volts Hz ala korg ms 10 or 20 not 1 volt per oct
The sequencer was nice because you could use one 8 step sequence for VCO pitch and then run the other 8 step sequence but divided down to change the pitch of the 8 step sequence 1-8 times or any variant on sequence length and from memory (over 20 years ago) I altered it to clock from my tr626
The EG circuit works but I could never get the VCA circuit to work and to be honest with the copied CEM chips now available again I would be making those into nice modules rather than these circuits
I either of you want to try the sequencer I still have the PCBs for the main sequencer board you can have for free!!! I made the Variclock MFOS one instead |
