Modular Synth Panels

Which bracket should I use to do the least drilling on my TLN 864 ?

Also I am having trouble geting the ADG419 chip. Can I use a DG403 ?

How does this diifer the CGS Comparator ? Is there a CGS panel in the works.

You know, I had never looked at what took place behind the panel before.
My first reaction is "Holy shit!"
There's a lot going on there!

The CGS Gated Comparator is on the short list, w/ a lot of other CGS
stuff, for this summer.
I can tell you that the CGS Comparator is one of my favorite modules.
It's like an 8-stage Shift Register, with a gate for each stage, and
the outputs summed together. You get great note sequences out of it,
and depending on the threshold setting, it will start a new sequence at
step 1 while the others are going, and all those outputs will chase
each other and sum, so you get fantastic "infinite melodies", really.
Then you can turn steps 5-8 off, for different sequences. And of
course, the gates are there to trigger whatever you like. It's also
fascinating to just watch as the LEDs play, because they're not random
but the pattern is decided by the interplay between the comparator
input and the clock. I always fed it a triangle LFO while clocking it
from a separate LFO so that it wouldn't, though if you used the same
one maybe the sequence would repeat.
Another trick was clocking it at audio rate and using the inverted
output as FM on my VCO, which made it sound like it was going through a
nasty bit-crusher when you cranked the FM attenuator. Basically, the
inverted staircase wave keeps tugging the VCO down into subaudio. A
bit-crusher doesn't quite do it justice, because it's analog.

Of course, my Comparator stopped working -- a mistake of mine, because
it worked if I wiggled it right : )
If I get it fixed, I'll do a recording.

I'm not sure which Bridechamber bracket would be the best to use (for
the TLN-864). Maybe Scott Deyo can post some pictures and dimensions
of his brackets, then I would be able to figure out a best fit. I
used Stooge modular brackets, but I don't think anyone is making those
at present.

Digikey has the ADG419 chip, try searching on this: ADG419BNZ-ND

You could also use a DG403, but it's twice as big, and you'd only be
using half the chip (for the TLN-864).

I can't comment on the CGS Comparator, I haven't used one.

Scott, that is quite the idea!

Or should I continue to answer individual emails as I do, frequently
forgetting the dimensions and thereby having to go fetch said panel(s),
find a measuring tape... ?

; )

Everyone should check out Scott's sound samples on the Tellun site, too
-- they're always really good. Check out the wave sample!
