Hi list.
i just fenish building my ferst vco and i must say it was a hard work but
i love this work,it takes me 8 hours to build one.
so i powered it up and evry thing is working great.
now i think is it a good sound vco is it a bad vco how do i know,
well in the begining i was not happy since the sound coming out of it
was too clean compering to my asm-1 vco's but then i realized
that this clean wave's are the right thing i want,but why ?
well when you use a asm vco in a basic vco>vcf>vca patch the asm saw
sound beter but this is because the asm vco waves are "dirty" they
have lots of noise component on the basic wave,BUT if you start
making modulation with the asm vco's you would get too much noise,
when you ring modulate 2 asm vco's or maiking FM then you realize
you need clean waves.

allso when you make modulation you need precice tracking and stabilty vcos.
so when i started modulating the MOTM vco i realized its power and beautiful
sound's.
so when you power your vco dont judge it buy its basic sound judge
it in modulation,i like this vcos a LOT.

about the 1V/OCT now i'm shure i need a frequency counter to do it the
professionl way.
can any body recomend on a low cost hi quality counter ?

thanx
