CGS Infinite melody demo (3.03Mb 3:03)
CGS 1/f melody, clocks and CV from CGS dual LFO, output to CGS VCO, VCO tri out to CGS Wave Multiplier, then thru spring reverb purloined from a dead organ (well, it was dead once I had finished with it).
That link is dead now (?) so I'm going to post the video. Because it rules.

CGS V8 simulator
this REALLY makes the windows rattle, wear headphones or use a good loud amp
1st part the speed is controlled by a slow LFO, then Blacet event arranger (the bit where it doesn't sound like a V8 ) the remainder is controlled by a CGS sequential switch acting as a regular sequencer.
except for 'fade in& out' , there was no processing/reverb/editing/other bs added, just one take. V8 ->mixer -> PC
CGS01 Sub Oscillator/Harmonic Sequencer in triplicate (that's three for anyone with only two thumbs).
This experiment is sort of a demo of the new builds. I need to seriously try to hone the skills on these modules a bit and pare down the length of time. Never-the-less it is a fun demonstration of what these modules can do when run in the harmonic sequencer mode using three lfo pairs (that's six for anyone with just one hand) as sources for the inputs on the CGS01's.

Love that CGS 01 tune! I don't think it's too long. You can't make a musical statement like that in 3 minutes. I never got bored and thought there was a very organic, logical flow/progression to the piece. _________________ Looking for a certain ratio since 1978

Thanks Andrew - I'm happy with the sound of the module, but I noticed that the mix output is very low in amplitude compared to the indivdual outs. I think I might have to change the feedback resistor on the mixer board.

Thanks Ken. I just got through building the Bi-N-Tic PCB that I had in my queue forever. MAN! This thing is INCREDIBLE! I wish I hadn't waited so long to build it.
Does anyone have audio samples of the Serge 10-channel Comb Filter?
I'm also worndering if there'd be any inherent problem with taking individual outs from each frequency band?
It seems like a natural thing to want to do-- plus I've had this idea-- sort of inspired by the Moog Murf and the Buchla 296 Spectral Processor. I was thinking about sending each of 10 frequency bands to 10 inputs of a Patch/Switch Matrix, with each of 10 Matrix outputs sent to the inputs a 10-stage Sequential Switch so that Seq Switch Output rotates between the 10 different filter-band mixes. Doesn't that sound like a great idea? Not like it's my idea or anything-- it's esentially just a much more expensive implementation of a Murf. But, I'd really like to build it.

If you made individual outputs, you would need to add buffers to each of them. The same design of single op-amp buffer used on each of the comb outputs would do, with each of their non-inverting inputs connected directly to the outputs of each op-amp in the filter section.

Synthacon - Finally built!
I completed another CGS module from my long-term backlog. It's a Synthacon filter PCB I bought around 8 years ago.
Below are some pics. Here's a link to a track I recorded using this filter exclusively (ie. no other filters, but I did use other modules ). The only effects are some delay from my DAW, and reverb effects from a Neural Agonizer.
The front panel is a Stooge panel (RIP Larry Hendry). It has reversible attenuators for High Pass, Low Pass, Band Pass and the FM 1 input. I built a reversible input attenuator circuit to account for these front panel functions. There is also a Wet/Dry All Pass Input mix control.
Anyway, nice filter, Ken!

I just updated the above sample. Now the first section is the same, the second section mixes the envleope and the oscillator driving the envelope to show how it's frequency dividing and waveshaping.
