[sdiy] pwming a tog

[Dave Garfield]

Hi, allWhile it doesn't do PWM, an English company named FlatKeys produces a Top Octave Generator replacement for the classic synths and organs which use a 50240 TOG.  This one isn't just a divider; it generates 12 separate top octave waves which are in tune, unlike the originals' approximations.
It will also do vibrato, as it has a master clock. It can switch octaves if desired, or transpose keys.  
The price is £52.80.
I haven't tried one out, but have been meaning to for a long time.  If anyone else out there has, I'd love to hear about it - warts and all.  Maybe it will work for you, or someone else out there.FK50240 MK50240 I am NOT affiliated with FlatKeys in any way, shape, form or manner.  Just thought that this might be a good solution for replacing scarce top octave divider chips.

 Because the standard TOG is based on dividers, you can’t add PWM. Run any width pulse wave through a flip-flop and the output's a square, after all.

That said, there were some TOGs the produced 33% pulse waves rather than squares (not sure exactly what the internals were to do that) but there were none that offered PWM.

If you had twelve ramp oscillators for the top-octave, you could arrange ramp+squares to give you ramps at various divided octaves, and then use those ramps to produce PWM, but it’d be a lot of circuitry, and it’d probably get a bit sensitive. Have a search for “sub-octave ramp wave” to get the basic idea.

HTH,
