Some basic 300 series questions

2002-12-06 by its_peake

Hello! I've read the Wiard site, the manuals, Grant's Synth DIY 
site, searched and skimmed the archives here and still have a 
few very basic questions which may be useful for future 
reference in the archives, so I'll ask them here instead of 
emailing anyone directly (and thanks again to Doug Pearson!)


- Do the Borg filters self-oscillate (individually or in series?)

- Do the Borg filters process DC signals? What are the ranges of 
the Fcs?

- What are the frequency ranges for the LFOs on the Borg filter? 
Are they CV or controlled solely via the associated Osc knobs? 
(Guessing that the three CV ins are strictly for the filters.)

- I have heard that the Envelator can be set to linear response via 
a PCB jumper or setting, making for a greater range of available 
overall envelope slopes (good info on this at Grant's DIY site). Is 
there indeed a choice of slope that is configurable internally?

- The Envelator does not appear to have feedback wired up on 
the Amod and Dmod input jacks, although they appear to be 
interrupt types in the block diagram in the online manual. I'll take 
it that this is an extremely simple mod (tapping off of the + 
output) and can be possibly be added to an order? 

- The Start-up patch sheet indicates that on the Classic VCO, the 
osc pulse output fires the S/H; is this an interrupting jack for 
external clocking of the S/H so that it may be gated from external 
sources? (Thanks, it appears to be so, but I can't make out the 
name of the jack.)

Easier,

-Mike
