Re: [200e] 259e: Complex vs. Twisted versions gain / volume differences

2010-09-20 by Rash Rahim

Just a supplemental note about this, yesterday I performed a couple of side by 
side tests, first doing an A - B comparison of the pure sine coming out of the 
principal sections - there was a whisker between them if that - virtually the 
same loudness. It was the same comparing the modulation oscillator in the 
audible ranges. So my (lay) deduction is that despite the electronic 
architecture being largely based on the same topologies, the implementation in 
each version of 259e is a little different. It could be down to changes / 
substitutions in component types. If true, I welcome the difference, really I 
posed the original question for fear the Complex version I have might be a 
little sick or something. 

 
On the related point, I noticed that at certain settings, the FM input pots on 
both the Principal and Modulation oscillators on the Complex 259e affects pitch. 
With identical settings, the Twisted 259e version does not do this. For context 
both modules are running v15 hardware. Sorry for the almost diary entry nature 
of this post, it might be of interest to some of you.
 
Cheers,
Rash
