Re: Plan B VCO in Buchla 200e cabinet

2008-11-05 by mritenburg

I've kicked the idea around. 

Physically, by turning the PCBs sideways, two M15 MkII modules will 
fit *snuggly* behind a buchla 1PU panel (ala 258!?!?  who wudda 
thought?)  Swapping out the jacks for banana plugs where appropriate 
is elementary.  The finished module would be about as deep as the 
triple-decker 291e.

The big issues are: (1) adapting the power to +/-15v (2) 1vpp audio 
signal, and (3) 1.2v per octave scaling.

The $60,000 question is:  can the M15 MKII components be substituted 
to achieve the desired spec *AND* still function as the OSC we all 
love?

Answers:  I don't have any.
