Thanks for the info Grant. A helpful list member explained it to me offlist. The ring mod worked fine, I was just concerned that the toggle switch didn't seem to make that much difference, at least with audio signals. I'll experiment with the sine waves. By the way, how's my Wogg

I've added a file jag1f.mp3 to the files section showing the JAG controling and mixing 4 patches at once. A little science fiction music. The piece is produced literally by moving the joystick slowly into the 4 different audio "spaces" at each corner. Each one also uses the side

A ring modulator, which is actually a multiplier, has two inputs, a "carrier" and a "modulator". The technique goes like this: Monitor the X+ output 1. Set X1 control fully on 2. Switch VCA/Ring switch to "Ring" 3. Patch an audio sine oscillator (carrier) to the X1 input 4. Adjus

I patch it like the manual says, but all it seems to do is reduce the volume when I switch VCA to Ring...any ideas? Thanks, Rob

It has come to my attention that a small number of the Noise Ring faceplate were not perfectly rectangular. The slightly irregular faceplates function fine electrically, the problem is cosmetic. I am now checking all faceplates in a rack before assembly to weed out any irregular

It looks exactly the same as the prototype except there is no screw head by the switch and the center LED is now a clear yellow LED. I should have a preliminary manual up after AHMW on the 20th. By the way, Mike Firman and I will be at Analog Heaven Midwest this year. I don't kno

Grant, any chance of seeing a panel design? I like the concept of the JAG and would be really interested in seeing how that's actually executed in terms of the interface. Thanks, Mike

Andrew, Not to inconvenience Grant or anything, I thought that you might like to know a modification that Grant did for my Omni Filter. I remarked to Grant on how the Bandpass mode output was significantly quieter than the other modes, and that, often, I needed more gain to drive

2004-02-19 by grantrichter2001
The two LEDs in the Vactrols are in series. The one for the 555 is the clock for the sample and hold, the other one forms a smoothing filter where the filter corner frequency tracks the frequency of the sample and hold clock (the 555). That is right out of the Buchla SOU. The fil

I think I spoke a little too soon in my last post. There's one thing that I can't get to work and am hoping someone can help me debug. The 555 doesn't change speed if I vary the control pot or input a CV. If I put an LED across the LEDs in the vactrols, it does vary with the inpu
