I got the schem for the Syntom as well. I'm really impressed with the look of this. I was thinking about re-inventing the DS7/8 but with two types of noise to mix together, and a SV filter this thing looks even more promising. Maybe I'll build one of each.


Absolutely Smile

In the early days e&mm's sister publication published a really cool rack mount modular fx unit too with all kinds of delay, filter and modulation goodies on board. I wish I still had those schematics. I saw one of these on ebay a while back. I think it only sold for £50 or so Shocked Crying or Very sad (I didn't have the money or space then).

Here's a link for 3 of the syn*** devices:
E-Music DIY Archive - Drums

-- the SynTom link gives a .zip file with Syntom, Synwave and Synchime.


But that Synbal is much better - mmm, the diginoise coupled with a VCFilter with resonance.

Hi folks,

I know that this thread is kinda old, but since I'm new to the electro-music forum scene, I thought I'd post a follow-up to it.

If you're into abusing CMOS X-OR gates, I highly recommend Craig Anderton's Pulse Width Multiplier. It was published in Polyphony several decades ago, but I got Craig's approval to post the article on my site:

http://web.pdx.edu/~rfahl/img/capwm1.gif
http://web.pdx.edu/~rfahl/img/capwm2.gif

If found an old post of mine that describes it well:

-------------------------------------------------------------

I tested it by running two sequenced VCOs into the audio inputs and a
sequencer cv and two LFOs into three of the CV inputs. Depending on how I
had the inputs set, I got something that sounded like aluminum cans going
through a meat grinder, to swishy, swirly phasey effects which reminded me
a lot of the more screwed up programs in my Lexicon Vortex. It's really
hard to compare to any module or effects processor I've heard so far. It's
something between a fuzz box, a phaser, a pulse width modulator, and an
80's arcade game violently self reproducing. Sexy and evil at the same
time.

---------------------------------------------------------------

It's currently not in a cabinet, but when I get my new boxes assembled, I can post a sample or two.

A good thread gets resurrected many times! Smile
But I can't get any kind of response from either of those links. Crying or Very sad
And I'm itching to do some EXORing. "Sexy & evil at the same time" I can't imagine a more inviting description for a sound. (Maybe because it describes me so well! Laughing Twisted Evil Laughing)

the links work fine for me. Try right-clicking (CTRL-click on a Mac) on the links and select Download or save link.

No,
It just sits there.

Edit-
It's okay, it worked. I just had to leave it for 5mins. Wink

hey i simulated this in the G2 demo, here is the patch... it seems that i have seen something like this before perhaps with window comparators.

First of all, a long overdue Thanks All for the kind responses to my first post months ago.

Hasn't anyone noticed that the oscillators in Ray Wilson's WackyZany etc. http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/YOUR_FIRST_SYNTH/YOUR_FIRST_SYNTH.html are the same type under discussion -- Schmitt Triggers -- and that the Wackiness oscillator is voltage controlled? I've extracted the circuit fragment and uploaded it here:
http://www.geocities.com/richardc64/circuits/wz_osc.gif

(How do I make a pic appear within a post?)

Eliminate S1 and D1. R11 sets the initial frequency. Replace it and R15 with a fixed high value resistor. Put your CV on pin 1 of the Zaniness pot, repeat 5 times, varying the RC vaalues, and voila, CV metallic noise.

But wait: is it necessary to vary all 6 oscillators to get pitched noise? Maybe varying only 2 would be enough. See the microlarge TR-808 Clone here:
http://xlargex.xl.funpic.de/

Note that no xor is present. The outputs of the oscillators are passively mixed.

(And as long as we're reviving old threads, the filter in Ray Wilson' WP20 Mini-synth is a simple, single supply VCF.)

If it's your own pic just click add attachment and browse to your pic. If it's from someone else's site I think the convention is to paste a link to the site.
Great link BTW to the XlargeX 808 Clone! Smile

If you have not already checked out the Clavia Nord Modular G2 Demo Software for patching logic gates for audio noise generation, I would strongly recommend it. You can get a free copy here:

http://www.clavia.se/products/nordmodular/software.htm

I have posted an XOR patch that will load into the Demo Software here:

'Tis. RC time constant is simply R*C - the time it takes a capacitor to charge up to 63% of full charge or discharge to 37% of full charge.

Notice V or I are not a factor in the equation. A lower voltage will mean a lower current...but, well, lower voltage - the cap doesn't have as far to go.

This is what makes expo portamento applied to CV do its thang - same concept. If you play a low A and a high A, it takes the same amount of time to glide as it does if you go from low A to low C. As an aside, linear glide will take a longer time to go to the high A then the low C, but there's usually an op amp or two involved there.

Cheers,
Scott


There is huge cool knowledge in this thread and it deserves a good bump.
It is also good for Lunetta knowledge. (Tagging for keyword searches.)

This forum is awesome. Lots to find.
