Re: voltage inversio n of CV signals/Other brands

2002-08-10 by petergrenader

I've got both Analogue Systems, Analog Solutions, Doepfer, 
Blacet, Buchla (albiet modified), MOTM, Oakley and homebrew 
all happily singing together.  I even went ahead and made 
faceplates for the Blacet stuff so it was 3RU high.  To see it, go 
to:

http://www.allegrobikes.com/synth.html

Once there, click on 'Son of Frankensynth' and then click the links 
for the Blacet modules - you can see a close ups.

However:  I am running the Blacet, Oakley, Buchla and MOTM off 
a separate 15 volt bipolar supply

In as far as voltage inverters (which I am quite fond of), I have 
some I made and two wonderful Blacet mixer/processors which 
work really really well.  Also, Tony Allgood at Oakley Sound 
makes a companion module for the MOTM 410 that can me 
adapted for bipolar processing of input signals - I got one of 
those, too!

You CAN'T have too many voltage inverters or mixers.  Doepfer 
makes one as well (part of their vocorder system   - forgot the 
number, (sorry)) and while I've never used it, it seems very 
functional as well.  I believe they also make a single voltage 
inverter module as well w/o any attenuation, which I really prefer 
having because at that point you can process as well.

hope this helps,
