Bug or feature?

2006-07-21 by Niels Ott

Hello there,

I discovered that my Trident MK 2 doesn't do VCF tracking when I use the
joystick.

Why should it, you may ask. Well of course there is no option for
changing cutoff by the joystick, but I would have expected that the
joystick's pitch bend bends the VCF as well, at least in the way as
selected by the KBD Track pot.

The resulting sounds are odd but great.

Yet I'm not sure whether this is normal or a defective unit.

Any ideas?

Niels

I haven't notices such a "feature" on mine... juystick only controls
the vibrato depth.

To be more precise, if you use the "bender", so left<->right of the
joystick, does the filter track with the VCO pitch?

On my Juno 106 it does, on the Trident MK 2 it doesn't.

I'm sure my P6 bender doesn't influence cutoff, as well as inny other
synths.
That's more ore less straight forward - pitch bender should bend the pitch,
that is VCO.
But if you want to add VCF, that's a matter of one resistor to be added in
KLM367 board.
I'm talking P6 here, but all Korgs from that era are very much alike.

Yes, and no. Does pitch bend operate on VCO or on "the keyboard"? If you
see it from the keyboard point, pitch bend should also do filter
tracking, like the keyboard does. (If switched on.)

But anyways...

Actually I like the sound like it is. But good to know.

And now I can think how to untack this Elka E9 organ. Only one key not
working, but hard to reach... 1€ on Ebay, 1€ more than I paid for the
Trident MK 2.
