<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>well, that the beauty of a modular synth, isnt
it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>im going to start on an asm-1 soon, and i intend to
bring as much as possible out to jack sockets for manual patching.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>take your example of the sq out form one vco: there
are loads of possiblilities. how about patching it into another vco, so it
acts as the modulator signal for an FM effect, or, yes, the vca, or filter, if
you want to put that first. or a mixer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the adsr output. what do you want to controll
from the envelope? and it may not be the same every time. maybee the vcos
pitch, maybee the filters cutoff, resonance etc.etc. On a more complex
system what about the frequency input of a voltage controlled lfo. Again,
the options are all there. There is no best way, IMHO, and thats why
modulars exist.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you want an analogue keyboard to simply give out
variable voltage for the pitch, and a gate signal, then the electronics are
really verry simple. Its the mechanics of the keyboard that are the bit
that will need thinking about if your going to build it from scratch. Do
something like read the powertran transcendent 2000s manual (which is on <A
href="http://www.port23.co.uk">www.port23.co.uk</A> somewhere, or CAG, which i
dont have the url for at hand.) Dont go copying the mechanics of the t2k,
but itll give you at least one approach to the electronics thats easily
understandable. Ive no doubt there are better ways though, thats just the
one ive looked at.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope all this helps,</FONT></DIV>

questions</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>hi again, i wanted to ask you people how is the asm-1 interconnected. i
understand how the modules work, but i read that the modules are not
interconnected between each other... but then how can you modify, for example,
the square signal coming from the first vco?? i assume that the square would
go to the vca or something but it isn't clear in the asm1 manual i downloaded
from the new site. or the asdr output...where does it go??... perhaps you can
connect the modules in whatever order you prefer, and in that case i ask you,
what are your choices?? the square signal has to go somewhere, logically, but
where?? also, from the appendix c, i quote "An alternative to a MIDI keyboard
would be a digital or analogue keyboard. A design for an analogue keyboard
will be provided shortly." if anyone has a design please tell me. i would be
very grateful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>pd: how did the vco circuit with the function generator work?? did anyone
try it??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>bye!!!</DIV><BR><BR>
