I found this video interesting. It explains how DCOs work and the differences between the DCOs found in the Juno 60, 106, Akai AX 80 and the Kawaii SX240...<div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqY6cVJS9fo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqY6cVJS9fo</a></div><div><br></div><div>He shows how some DCOs are “more analogue” than others, due to the implementation of the master clock.</div><div>He then goes through the schematics of said synths highlighting the relevant circuits.</div><div>At 29:00 he asserts that an inverted sawtooth sounds better in the bass end than a regular sawtooth - I’ve never heard that before.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Tom of course has a great page on the Juno DCOs</div><div><a href="http://electricdruid.net/roland-juno-dcos/">http://electricdruid.net/roland-juno-dcos/</a> </div><div><br></div><div>I guess the most recent application of this technology is the Deep Mind 12</div><div><br></div><div>AI</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>p.s. he also has a great video on repair/modding an Akai AX 60 - it looks simply stunning with red LED faders! </div></blockquote></body></html>
