I see now.ok a signal of ATLEAST 1.8v. |

Yes, it can run on 12 volt, but the resistors R6 and R7 have to be recalculated, since the threshold pin will trip at 2/3 Vs, so at 12 volt it trips at 8 volt, you have to devide that to 5 volt: R6 = 3k3, R7 = 5k6.
As far as I can see, what is called C2 on the stripboard is actually C3 (10nF going to pin 5 of the 555) and C2 is placed on the input connectors (off print). |
thanks a lot grumble. I tried running it on 12 v euro ps and got signal through it but that's it. so it didn't work. I believe that I do need to change r6 and 67 and I think I got c2 and c3 mixed uo. thanks a lot. really appreciate it |

Any suggestions for adding cv control on attack and decay? |

-the easiest way would be to use vactrols. Alternatively, OTAs (LM13700, CA3080).
While I'm here - I found that adding the comparator caused tuning issues. It seemed to me that the comparator dumping as much current as it can into the base of the input transistor/input stage was causing problems, if this circuit's ground is near to a VCO ground. So, adding a resistor (about 1K) to the comparator output fixed this. |
