Re: More VCA blabbering (kind of)

1999-10-29 by Paul R Bower

hello troops
i think i might have something constructive to say (for a change:-)
following on from the VCA lin / log thing, i have a question:
on and off all evening i've been tarting around plumbing my motm (#100,
#120, #410 so far heh heh) into my Pulse Generator (military surplus jiggery
pokery) which works in some kind of bizarre decade scale - obviously. anyway
my question is this - using the random output of my motm#100 into the input
of any vco, even a Hz/V one (ish), I get a good old fashioned randomy sort
of sequence. plug this same random output intothe PG52B (pulse geny)  and i
get a strange and rather nice middle eastern tempered random output,
disimilar from a normal VCO. now then
1) am i mad
2) am i wrong in thinking that random x anything = still random (cos that's
what it seems)
3) did the RAF really design their V Bomber communications systems based on
some kind of gamelan scale (i'm in deep doo doo if this one's right)

cheers paulb (now i have to go build a pile of BNC to Jack cables...)
