Dear folks,

I built the cv gate keyboard shown below, schemo found in the Yves's blog archive.
Although it does work (outputs CV and GATE as expected), i keep getting a note shift on key press, an ...

hello guys,
i am also running my VCA 1 with 12 V.
Although working, it's output volume is very quite.
it's not clear to me what the R 23 and R 12 should be Smile

and, what's the unity gain?
thanks : ...

to hedefalk and Bastian

nice falling ramp there ! i got the same here Smile

happy to hear about your progresses ! sorry i cant help more

as for my oscilloscope grid, i havent me ...

where can i find the alternating current symbol in my pc keyboard? Embarassed

thanks Mattias. Priceless ! Wink

and thanks foe explaining the topology of the VCO.
so the core can be narrowed down to the mere 13700, 555 and IC 3 c ?
how do i go if i want to leave out the hard sync ? leave the 555 pin 4 unconne ...

thanks Mattias,
I can hear my VCO oscillating and sounds awesome.
The waves look perfect on the scope.

i am trying to find a way to measure their amplitude.
and trying to understand why, when s ...

hey mattias Smile

i am trying to make sense of my 555 VCO ouput levels.
Why can't AC saw,tri, square and sin be measured with a DMM ?

I do have an old scope, but the grid doesn't show numbers nor r ...

hey g.gabba

i don't know how the chat area works ! Rolling Eyes

back to the 555 VCO, it sounds awesomely good, it has that unmistakable "80's" flavor to my ears.
Can't wait to couple it with a Roland filter to get the best out of both modules Smile

hey g.gabba,

Yes, i think it's a nice thing to become friends here, and make some more "private" lines of communications, for a lack of a better term Smile

And besides the electronic DIY ...

Yves,
can you please get me the ARP 4072 schematics you originally drew ? i mean the schematics before the dual pot modification.
many thanks!

so,

i scoped up the 555 VCO output signals , and the amplitude of all waveforms stays consistent through the whole frequency sweep.

However, it still puzzles me that the voltage read on DMM chan ...

if you ever come to Sardinia island on holiday, drop me a line!

during the summer many Germans seem to enjoy our beaches and...beers too beer

hey Bastian,
i will take a look at those movies soon !
As far as the 555 VCO...well, no, i haven't checked it yet. Wink

it got a bit negleted in favour of some other little modules that were in ...

portugal?

thanks g.gabba

thanks Bastian

that makes sense Smile

2N 3819 and BF 245 are ok substitutes fot the original FET s from what i 've heard.
There is a interesting thread on Muffwiggler about the Jupiter 8 VCO cloning, where they discuss and document its o ...

to wackelpeter

why replace the FET buffers? this way the original sound would be completely gone. I aim to stay as close as possible to the orginal design

no worries g.gabba !

i built the 555 VCO by Thomas Henry only. And not the VCO 1 yet Smile

so i can't tell.
May i ask you to explain what the resistor value modifications would add to, or improve t ...
