The 297 is a great phaser. I don't have any standard examples handy i am sorry. But here is a fun example where the 297 is the only source of the sounds: http://www.synthi.se/buchla/Resonance.mp3 It can self oscillate in certain settings and this can be triggered by using a LFO a

I added my 227e after about 6 months with a small system and it surprisingly "opened up" the sound a lot. The possibility to position sounds and controlling movements together with timbre is great. A dull static timbre can be interesting if it is moving. It is made so that you ea

thanks for the correction, Ed. Lippold hadn't mentioned this feature, but it makes sense. But without a 1.2v/oct scaled output on the 259e or 261e, it puts us back in the days of tuning insanity every time you go to do something. gary Edmund Eagan wrote: > > The Continuum Voltage

yes, it's the jack / pot labeled "cv in" just below the large freq knobs of each section. If the continuum will output 1.2 volt/oct, just patch it to the cv in and turn the knob to almost full right, then you can fine adjust the scaling with the little trim pot. On Oct 20, 2006,
