Subject: RE: VC EG (breadboard) -- new idea

From: "Dave Bradley" <daveb@...>
Date: 2000-02-14

Hey man, I'm with you. Maximum flexibility, within reason. I guess everybody
has a different perception of what "reason" is. For me, the idea of a single
CV input, normalled to A,D, and R inputs, which individually feed reversible
attenuators, is exactly right. Maximum flexibility when you want it, or ease
of use when that's sufficient. Add VCed delay and peak hold, and that's all
I could ask. (OK, OK Barlow - an led on the output instead of the gate input
geesh kwitcha whining<g>).

I guess my definition of "unreasonable" would be the 8U wide microprocessor
controlled zillion breakpoint drawn by hand infinite rotary encoded $400 EG.

To you determined DIYers, I second Tony A's suggestion to check out JH's
very nice VC DADSR design. I've been thinking of trying one after I get my
sequencer going. Here's a link:
