Dare I say, Digisound had a great VC-DCO, and a tuning module. Neither were too expensive (and part of that was down to low cost panels and pots), but the circuits were solid. Count me in on that one. Also, count me in on any vactrol stuff. Regards, Kevin

I have to say, yes. I'd love a good VCO. In fact I actully think a modular DCO would be a very neat module. That would give us a simple soultion for tuning problems and also enable ever illusive graphic oscillator. Integrating that with the rest of the A100 would be massive. And

Hi M. Another idea, which is rather 'thinking out loud', so perhaps a little tricky in practice (and assumes CV to be inverted is always positive!): if you have an A-132 and a source of negative CV (perhaps an A-174 joystick: max neg X or Y is about -4.5V from memory), you could

Okay, a triangle wave from an LFO thru the A119 does indeed get inverted, but with a definite time lag. Suspecting a cap, I tried patching in the CV source instead. The DC was indeed blocked by the A119. Although the A136 will indeed work as a voltage inverter, I forget to mentio
