Hi, I've been craving for some time a ÷N COM and wanted to know if Ken Stone's Voltage Controlled Divider is a) the same circuit; b) could be used to perform like a ÷N COM.

Here's CGS' Voltage Controlled Divider https://cgs.synth.net/modules/cgs09_vcd.html and here a picture of Random*Source ÷N COM for reference: Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

I guess, to match the R*S design, the CV IN jack should not be connected to +15v, but instead the +15v should be mixed through an attenuator with the CV IN voltage.

What I don't understand much is the comparator section... (WAIT, is there really one that could work with a range of input voltages????) Does the MOUT in CGS design act as the comparator output?? If so, does the CMP pot act as the -5/+5 comparator level pot on R*S module? Same goes for the M-IN... is that the negative input for the comparator?

Thanks!

Well, I guess the MOUT is definitely not similar to the comparator output in the ÷N COM... is there some way to get something similar out of the CGS design? Or is the comparator there just used to get a square wave out of the input to drive the rest of the module?

I'd like to get into some logic modules but it's still hard to grasp for me Confused

Hello, I was just wondering the same the other day...
VC and IN+ pots are indeed attenuators to +15V.
Comparator output is MOUT on board, and offset is labelled to be -/+5v on the panel of Best of CGS BOG (http://www.elby-designs.com/webtek/cgs/bocgs/bocgs-bog/bestofcgs-bog.pdf), but please let us know if you have to actually change 6.8k resistors values

Oh, thanks for that link. That really clears some things up. I'll try making a build with the comp out wired to MOUT then. Smile

And for the 6k8 resistors, I'll be using 5k6... the math for a 12v power supply gives 5.44k so I guess 5k6 will be fine, or the closest 1% value.

well, looking at the schematic, MOUT is a mixer (pre-comparator) output
