Re: Freq Shifter : forget the lower freq, how about external input!

2002-06-25 by code_pig

Peter,

I'd be very interested in the mod you suggested.  By the way, I've 
tried applying very low (as well as negative) voltage to the CV 
input, but have had no success.  Bypassing the A126's internal 
oscillator might very well be the answer.

Okay, I have to admit that basically I'd love to have that phase-
thick sound of the old EMS Frequency Shifter at a very low shift 
frequency (one of which I used own, and was VERY STUPIDLY was conned 
into selling about 8 years ago).

I'm not saying that I don't like the A126.  Quite the contrary.  The 
A126 is one of my favorite modules, and one I tend to use maybe more 
than I should.

Hey Dieter, and if you're listening, might there be room for either a 
second Frequency Shifter, or a modification to the existing A126?  
There seems to be a bit of interest here (not to mention the fact 
that other companies are coming out with FS's with substantially 
lower shift ranges).  Maybe I'm biased towards Doepfer, but I know 
I'd buy at least one, and I'm fairly certain others on this forum 
would as well.

Many thanks to Peter and Tim.  These two bolt-heads (and that is said 
with complete respect) have helped to clear the otherwise muddy 
waters of the A126.

By the way Peter, the CD of A126 examples was sent (as was yours 
Paul).

Regards,
Kevin
