Hi guys.

I really don't know the difficulty of this this thing I want but Ill ask anyway.
Assuming I'm using a VCO and midi2cv...
Is it possible to play a waveform from the beginning of the waveform every time I hit a midi key?
Meaning, if I'm on a saw or ramp waveform, every time I hit a midi key the sound will start from the beginning/start of the saw/ramp?

Thanks for the help Smile
cheers,
Isak E.

i just have this crazy idea.
maybe i can accomplish my idea using the sync in of the vco?
say connect a gate or EG to the sync in of the vco, will it manage to start from the peak of the waveform?

That idea of using the gate is not so crazy, it is the way I do it on soft synths, like the G2. On a real analog there might still be a little glitch but that should not get past any envelope module after it.

A trigger pulse would be better than a gate - yes, it works fine via hard sync, but it may depend on your VCO design. I originally used a trigger via an attenuator and gradually increased it until I achieved reset - you don't want to suddenly put a 10 or 15v pulse where it shouldn't go Shocked

3 VCO's all starting in sync can sound pretty punchy Wink

Thank you for replying Andy.

I actually want to use your Odyssy VCO design.
My beloved VCO till now Smile
So your saying to conect a trigger to the sync in of the ody but use a pot to trim it till it will reset?
A trigger I'll be using is no more then 5V, using a trigger from a midi to cv.
Do I still need to attanuate the trigger?
when thinking about it ...5V is enought to the ody Sync in?

Thanks Andy

I'm not at home for a while (on holiday), but if my memory serves me correct, I ended up with a simple transistor switch - Have a look at the Oddy's VCO 1 schematic... R132, R133, 2N3904 (sync out VCO1) - Duplicating that circuit should allow a 5v pulse into R132 to reset VCO2.

I'm using the single board, not the dual.
But I have the dual on my comp so I will have a look.

Cheers and enjoy the holidays Smile
