Patching the CGS75 Serge Voltage Controlled Slope. How to?

Patching the CGS75 Serge Voltage Controlled Slope. How to?

2013-07-01 by ALFREDO

Hello and sorry for this stupid question.
I have a small diy modular sistem with the usual modules, vco´s, filter,
vca´s, adsr, mixer and a sh-101... and I want to go one step beyond with others mudules less usual like this CGS75 or the CGS29 Wave multiplier.
I finished the VCS but I don´t find any interesting patch, please if some of you can give to me a hand I will be very grateful,
Thanks a lot.
Alfredo.

Hey Alfredo,

There is a really good starter guide here:

Have fun!

Hi Alfredo,

Here's a couple of good links that I refer to all the time:

http://www.carbon111.com/alphabet1.html

http://www.serge-fans.com/wiz_cv_trig.htm

Like most of the Serge stuff it's not obvious to start off with, but it's so versatile once you get an idea what to do with it. I find Serge such an easy way to get inspiration when I'm looking for something a bit different and to get myself out of ruts.

Cheers,
Scott.

Hi Alfredo,
As has been said, the VCS / DUSG are really more like swiss army knives. I currently have 6 USGs in my system, and I use them for EVERYTHING. One thing I especially love is using them for very fast envelopes for Low Pass Gates. You can make some fantastic percussion sounds that way.
They also make great VCOs for patches which pitch isn't super critical.
On one patch I ran out of VCAs, so I used one as a filter/gate, which was enough to get the job.

Just sit down and start fooling around with that module - they're like potato chips - you'll always want one more than you already have ;-)

Ok, thanks to all of you this is going well, I have the AR EG and ASR working and a king of square lfo switching the cycle switch, but the CGS VCS it´s a different than the serge one, for example there´s no gate out in the CGS and no 1v/oct , maybe any equivalence? The Exp CV : 1v/oct?

The End Out is the Gate out. This can be patched back to the Trig input to create cycle.

The Exponential input is 1 volt/octave.

Ok mates, now everything is working and I know hot to patch, the CGS VCS is absolutelly Fantastic!!
Just one more question : What to do with the processor? What is the utillity of
the processor?
Thanks to all of you for your help :-)

The processor is so you can have single-knob control of a CV through the
range of unity gain, down to zero, then to unity gain, but inverted.
Basically it is a complex level control.
