electro-music.com -> PAIA Equipment https://electro-music.com/forum/ Paia two-note ribbon controller https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=447809#447809 Awesome! This circuit seems to be the holy grail of non-working ribbon controllers, so it's great to see someone actually managed to get it going.

What ribbon did you use StarTrek?

Drum Tone Snare Problem https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=445435#445435 Okay, looking at the schematic, I will go after the + input of IC2. Looks like the white noise is controlled by bias voltage. The distortion would be horrible, but meh, it's white noise. blakeAlbion Tue, 30 Jun 2020 07:00:20 -0700 Polyphony Magazine Back Issues https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=445197#445197 Thanks for posting this! uniqview Mon, 15 Jun 2020 12:11:50 -0700 PAIA2720-3B VC Bandpass Filter_Augmentations https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=445190#445190 OK--done w/ this I think, I've finished my build of Gasboss's 2720 mods, also I went back to orig paia schematics and built one of those that works on +/-15V.

The 18v is labeled AC RMS voltage. Will se what it comes out to DC rectified later today.

the 1496 ICs in the balanced modulator VCAs are the only thing that uses the +18v and -9v rails for power.

MGB VCO https://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=407765#407765 Hi, who experienced that VCO ?
What is the frequency stability from his EXP converter?
And so, will be good working that type thermo-electrical feedback on his antilog converter?

I've built the Paia 9700 rack with banana. I did the normalling by drilling a 2mm hole across the banana socket such that a plug would obscure it. Then I positioned an infra-red LED and a phototransistor on either side, driving a re ...
