Serge ÷N COM Subject description: Trying to make sense of CGS' Voltage Controlled Divider |
|
|
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:
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 |

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.
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 _________________ Fer
