Subject: The return of those that have built a '410.
From: Matthew Hiscock <audio@...>
Date: 2005-11-03
So I bought another vactrol, soldered it in, and fired up the '410,
this time using my new Oscillator (a dotcom) as input instead of the
much lower level keyboard/sampler combo I'd been using and....
Still ∗almost∗ nothing.
I say almost because after plugging into that filter and realising that
I ordered that vactrol in vain, I turned it off and right there, as the
power was dropping to zero, I heard the filter sweep down and thought
"aHA!" Also, with the higher input I can definitely hear some filter
movement as i turn the Sweep knob, thoughit's just up near or above
20KHz and still fairly useless.
So... progress, I think. At least I know (or at least it appears to me)
that were the voltage to the filter to be correct that it would all
work out.
Is this the point at which a dvm would come in handy?
thanks as ever,
Matthew
