Hi Florian, yes that's possible on principle. But in this case the sync will work only as long as a tone appears at the SH-101 audio output (i.e. as long as e.g. a key is held down on the keyboard and the VCF, VCA and ADSR controls are set to suitable values). As far as know the

That's impossible without a lowpass on principle. E.g. if the clock rate is 500Hz you need a lowpass that supresses this frequency. The suppression will we the better the higher the slope of the lowpass (6/12/24/48...dB/Oct). For a lowpass with a small slope (e.g. 6 or 12 dB) the

Hello Soy Sys, I *guess* the 1024 BBD stage version of the A188 uses a MN3007 chip. Accord. to it's data sheet the delay time ranges from 5.12ms to 51.2ms. If the A188 can be set for longer times there's a trade off in massive quality leakage. It results in the "bad" sounds menti

You have to use a filter to reduce the clock noise until 100 %! It has been heavily discussed whether a filter should have been build in, but many users want to have the dirty sound you describe as "bad". I recommend the A-105 VCF to blow the clock noise away. I think, after usin
