Hello Stein and Dnny Smile

The heat's off a bit now so I can relax a bit Very Happy

Yes- I too have had that kind of reaction to these modules too. They do look absolutely lovely!

Oh, and it has this one particular really cool waveshaper. Wink

But be careful -- the CA3080 is required. (It uses the W. Jung trick of driving the device through the PS pin.) You cannot replace it with the LM13700, etc.

I literally, have had dreams of this VCO. Those distinct colorful faceplates are inspired.

Make my dreams come true! Twisted Evil

Wow, that sure is something. Looks like someone soldered everything in my parts bin into one mutant module!

*lust*
i hope a pcb wanders on to this site for sale.
i am a bit too inexperienced to make this board and build it myself at this point....
it is certainly making me wonder if i should try anyways though...
the only thing that sux is that there are no outputs for all the waveforms.
THAT would make this a much cooler vco. i wonder if that would really be all that hard to do...
couldn't one just pull those outputs right off the board?

dear all!
a little up for the last 4 years of complex vco release from Jurgen.
just a general question nothing really in depth just - have you managed to run the triangle VCO core?
