Subject: Re: [motm] DIY Pitch to Voltage Converter

The statement "the gate works better if the volume
control is reversed" is not correct. I like the
reversed volume control, but the circuit does not
care.

The gate circuit is a must for the non-reversed
etherwave. This means you must have "both hands" on
the
wheel (antennas). The mods I did to the circuit give
a very sharp cutoff in pitch... the gate is either off
or on, with no chance of dithering.

Personally I've not used the gate. I use the Volume
CV for filter cutoff, and the Pitch for oscillator
frequency.

I'm quantizing with the Wiard "MiniWave" which rumour
has it will be the Blacet "MiniWave". Its VERY cool
and I made up my own proms with custom scales. The
default scales are OK, but you music folk will realize
that dorian, lydian, etc... are all just the same
eight notes in a row.. starting at a different point.

My modified box has a 12 position rotary switch to set
tonic note... then the MiniWave sets Major, Minor,
etc.

Its very hard to make it look hard to play live. A
wiggle of the fingers and all the speed-metal kids
have
to go home !!!
