VCO Scaling

[Duane R Balvage]

   Hi All -


    I have an idea that I would like to try out, but I don't know how to

  go about it, so here goes...


    I have a synth that uses CEM 3394's in it, (an AX-73, for all you Akai

 fans out there!) and to be quite frank, the filters sound like CRAP! They

 are actually starting to get ON MY NERVES! SOoooo, I propose to build a

 replacement "card" to replace the CEM 3394. Yes, a plug in card with VCO, VCA

 and VCF (not necissarily in that order) to replace the weird (and, from what

 I've heard, flakey) 3394. the only problem I see is the VCO is scaled to

 .75 volt/octave instead of the usual 1v/oct. (got this from the 3394 data

 sheet.) Any ideas on this? Any suggestions for VCO's / VCF's? (remember, I have

 to duplicate this 6x ... think small, inexpensive.... :^)   ) Is there any way

 to scale a VCO to use this .75v "standard"?

                  Any help greatly appreciated!

                                    - Duane
