I saw a post yesterday that mentioned adding triangle and sine wave
outputs to the ASM-1 VCO. In yet another case of totally off-the-wall
coincidence I had been recently toying around with that very same
idea, and that made me poke around in my papers till I found the
one-transistor saw-to-triangle trick.
So I tried it - it works! One 2N3904, two resistors. Sawtooth in, zero
to +5, triangle out, +2 to +4.5.
Looks like this:
Hey Gene, you should recognize that one! It's sawtooth-to-triangle
converter used on the Moog modular.
(And, needless to say, yet another example of Uncle Bob's way with
simple, elegant and musical engineering.)
