I loved this book. It describes the physics of sound and how sound is produced by various musical instruments. It's a great source for physical modelling synthers. The Acoustical Foundations of Music (Hardcover) by John Backus http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ 0393090965/102-3146

hi- i would like to post a clip of the real ring mod with two a119s before it in the signal chain, but my computer is currently crapping out too often and my recording app., cubase, is too unstable now to mess with. when i get it back up into good running i will try to post some

Gino, How's it going? The first replacement was because I too (dave) melted my PSU. The two other replacements are now being used again since I built a custom set of boxes. I actually could power my system on three PSU2s, but using the other two older models means I can have a se

Hi Nick, I'm contemplating the same thing: I have one suitcase with an old, humming ps and another with the new quiet one. What did you do with the old supplies? Auction them off? How much time did it take to do the replacing? g __________________________ Message: 3 Date: Sat, 19

hello- brushing over the recent posts about the real ring mod, i must say that this is indeed a great item to have in your arsenal. if you don't have one, please go get one and break out your soldering iron. a100 users can boost their signals before or after the real ring mod wit

Dave , PSU2 is the way to go. There is no problem with mounting. You'll end up with extra power for future expansion and you're room will be a bit more quiet. I've replaced most of the PSUs in my system. I had a problem with considerable ambient hum, especially noticable when the

Hello, I finally had some time to fix the faulty A111 this weekend. Thanks for the tip Zoran, it was indeed the hard sync input. I put a new part in and it works fine again! And now on to tuning the other A111.. The work of a modular owner never stops ;-) Greetings, Ernst

Hello Dieter, Ken has licensed some of his circuits to Metalbox (FracRak compatible) and Cyndustries (Modcan compatible), added to a Serge cicuit for Banalogue (finaly: Euro Rack compatible) thus he probably would license the RRM to you. (None of the above offering the RRM.) I do

this would be interesting of course, but there is one thing which we have to think about. ken stone uses germanium diodes in his circuit which are more than 30 years old, he recycles them from old computers. i'm not sure if the needed diodes are easy to get for dieter. best wishe
2005-11-17 by okiikahuna
That's my understanding as well: Just to clarify terms: An ideal "balanced" modulator (4 quadrant multiplier), where a negative modulator inverts the carrier, results in sum and difference signals with no carrier or modulator present in the output. Classic amplitude modulation (2
2005-11-17 by ilanode
AFAK the difference btn amplitude modulation and ring modulation is that only in the latter the carrier freq is no longer present at the output... Wether this is done by an IC or diodes is soundwise of interest but doesn't affect the label. Regards, Ingo --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoo
2005-11-17 by okiikahuna
I think that the only "real" ring modulator among the bunch is the CGS unit. I will explain my own limited understanding of this, if anybody cares. (If somebody with more technical knowledge sees a mistake, please correct me) The term "ring modulator" refers to a a certain way of

hello ingo (the not self-oscillating :-)), afaik the a133 is not really a ring modulator, but like a vca, it can be used to achieve similar effects. i'll record a sample using the a133, but i cannot do this before weekend i guess. i still have some troubles with my recording card
2005-11-17 by ilanode
Is the A133 really capable of both amplitude and ring modulation? There's no info referring to this on the Doepfer HP. Anyhow, Ingo, if you don't mind I'd like to hear some examples of amp/ring modulation with the A133. Regards, Ingo --- In Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com, "selfosci

it's really easy to assemble one or two cgs ringmods from the assembled boards you can buy, just take an 8 hp blindplate, drill 6 8.2mm holes for the s6 sockets, hot-glue the two cgs boards to the plate (the transformer's "casing" allow this quite smoothly), wire the sockets, don

Hi Ingo, Thanks for the interesting comparisons! I'm quite surprised that there is any difference at all between the original state and with c1 shorted - I'm wondering whether the A-111 sine-shaping can introduce DC into the signal (I'll check it out when I get the chance). Since

2005-11-15 by selfoscillate
hello antonio, the missing lows in #5 are probably because the cgs real ring is a passive device, the output loudness is weak on this module. i haven't amplified the module output to show the differences in loudness. dsp-based ring modulators are not really interesting for me. i

Hi Ingo, thanks, great comparison you should add a DSP style ring modulator too, just too see the deviation from the "pure" mathematical creation (something like CSound or MAX or the pick your flavour). I must say the more dramatic is #3 And I don't understand the missing lows in

I'm not aware of any problem like this with mine, but from memory, the amplitude of the internal oscillator takes a while to settle down after a CV change, and so (I'm guessing here) maybe at high CV it is possible that it might stop running completely. I'll check it out later to
