Hi folks, I've decided it's about time I racked up my box of spare modules so am looking for a G6 and an RS15, or two G6's. SE UK based so am happy to collect within a reasonable distance. Must be complete with bus boards and PSU please. Anyone able to help? Rgds David David Salt

hello ingo, i checked the manual and found that i was wrong in my previous post. whenever a cord is patched to the L+ and/or L- inputs, the corresponding pots will be disabled, so they have no effect anymore. i couldn't check the module itself yesterday, but i hope that i find th

hello ingo-2, the a136 is a great module just needs the correct settings: its A knob amplifies the signal with a gain rate of about 4 to 5. so, in order to obtain a neutral signal you have to set the A knob to about +1(gain to about 1). the same is valid for the +A and -A knobs.

Thanks, Tom and Ingo! I'm still confused. Ingo, the impact on a sine was close to non-existent. None of the waveforms were able to come up with a result worth mentioning. We were 2 of us in front of the module and both *very* disappointed untill we came up with the Jomox. Since t

hello ingo, 1. the a136 should have great effect on waveforms like triangle, sine or sawtooth, but the results vary widely, depending on the knob settings. on some settings you get no output at all. 2. i use the a136 for complex signals too, like drums or vco-mixtures. often the

a little tricky at first for sure. i don't think it will do much for a square wave, because essentially a square wave is "clipped" already. i found it will definitely enhance a tri or sine wave, though not to the buzzy extent of the a137. it shines when used before and after filt

Hello list, the A136 is on my mind for long time. Recently I had the chance to toy with it for a while and was wondering on the results: 1) On *any* of the VCO's waveforms it had rather minor impact. 2)Dramtic and great results could be obtained by feeding a more complex signal (

The CEM3381/PA381 VCAs have current outputs (not voltage outputs as usual). The currents of the four CEM3381/PA381 are summed up in a current-to-voltage converter to obtain a common voltage output. This is why you do not obtain an signal at the CEM3381/PA381 (current) outputs. On

To do this looks relatively straightforward. The PA381 is a current output device: the currents output from pins 1 & 7 of both chips all come together at one end of J1, and are summed by one op amp in the TL082 - pin 6 is the summing junction, pin 7 the o/p, pin 5 grounded. So yo
