I just received my GP-10S brochure from Ray. The patch panel is very simlar
to the GP-6 with 4 summer-integrators, 4 summing mixers, 2 multipliers,
DC/ground patch points, and potentiometer patch points. It also has a
"trunk line" which I'm guessing might be a multiple.
The right side of the panel is different. There are no digital voltmeter or
run mode controls, just 12 knobs/potentiometers, 8 of which are configured
as voltage dividers and 4 which are connected to DC voltages with just the
variable leg connected to the patch panel for setting "Initial Conditions",
or DC bias in synthesizer language.
The built in options to the GP-10S are pretty limited, just more accurate
multipliers or an integrating capacitor group that gives greater time
scales. However, there are also banana plug modules that look interesting,
such as comparator feedback elements, absolute value (rectifier) module,
even a VCO, though for the price ($95) I would guess it is a simple
Hertz/octave type.
Another interesting accessory available as a rack mount module is a variable
diode function generator.
I have emailed Ray Speiss to ask if it's okay for me to scan and post this
to the Yahoo files site. I'll post a message to the group as soon as I find
out.
