Re: ZO 1V/Octave calibration

2006-02-28 by tontaub

Hi John,
I'm afraid you're right.  :-(
looking at your measurement results the deviations look more design
immanent than like an calibration error.

Regarding the second MSG you just posted, I've to admit that I'm not
sure if I fully understand the Vari-Synch functionality. Looking into
the manual it appears to me like a soft sync on traditional sawtooth
core VCOs but time reversing the core output rather than resetting.

I just wonder if the sawtooth output delivers this typical hard sync
sounds when set up correctly.
