Doepfer

hi list,

ok, a New Poll has been created about the A160-2 Odd divisions Clock Divider module.

Please, Vote for this poll, as it will stay open for one month only.
(i expect to see at least 100 votes).

thanks,
best regards,
Bakis.

I'll definitely take one with all odds, but what would be really good is a divider which just does prime numbers. A160-3, or is it just me?

Cheers, Nick

If you'd opt for a three-position switch, then you could easily label the divisions next to the output jacks in three columns, like so:

2/3/3
3/5/5
4/6/7
etc...

...or similar.

Or, you could include some logical OR and AND gates, and let the user do any division themself. :-)

We could develop a version with different sets of dividing factors, e.g.
linear 2/3/4/5/6..., 3/5/6/7/9/10 (only the factors not available at A-160),
3/5/7/9/11... (only odd factors), 3/5/7/11/13... (only prime numbers) and so
on. The set could be chosen e.g. by internal jumpers or a three-position
toggle switch. This option would increase only a little bit. But the main
problem is the front panel printing. It's not possible to built a separate
front panel for each version (the front panel will be probably the most
expensive part of the module). The only idea is a blank panel and we add
self-adhesive stickers for all versions. But such a panel would look a bit
poor (like the prototypes).

Just an idea ...

Sorry. It should read "This option would increase only a little bit the
price"

Dieter

A very quick sketch shows it's possible, although you might run into panel-estate problems with three two-digit numbers:

http://www.guyd2.com/stuff/doepfer_div.jpg

The sketch also shows that you save (shave) some points by using a straight bar instead of a backslash.

Take a look at the A-160 front panel. There is not much space left for the
printing - unless the width of the panel is increased to 6 HP or we use a 3
point font :-)

And what about Fibonacci?

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 etc

hi Bakis

Sorry to drag the conversation back to this, but you did ask.
The reason this idea came to mind was a recent piece in The Times referring to a lecture by Marcus du Sautoy at the Royal Society available here: http://royalsociety.org/Video-Library/#

Entitled The secret mathematicians, it concerned the use of maths in art and starts with a piece by Messiaen, Quartet for the End of Time. It uses rhythms of 17 and 29 beats - as these are prime numbers, a sequence would not repeat (at least until you get to 17*29).

I think La Monte Young used primes too.

The lecture also refers to the Fibonacci series which I think is mentioned in a later post but I haven't got there yet.

Anyway, as I play with long automated noises, I thought prime-based rhythms would be fun.

A prime number is only divisible by one and itself (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17 etc).

Cheers, Nick

ok, thanks for the explanation Nick.

anyway, the a160-2 will be able to offer some prime number divisions.

Hi!
I'm interested in the upcoming SDIY synth board but i wonder since there are
no support for it and if it fails later on, can i repair it myself? What components
do it use, can i find these on the open market, are they expensive like special
or difficult to find? I'm thinking of things like the exponential transistor pairs or 
the OTA's use in VCF and VCA?

Cheers
Kurt Dervend



      

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I haven't had a board in my hands yet, so my guess is as good as yours.
Still, I'm quite sure Doepfer did not use any rare and/or expensive parts, given the end-user price of the board, and the fact that any forward thinking manufacturer would be wise enough not to do so unless he wants to be overwhelmed with problems of this nature...

And in case a problem should arise -- which I think will be unlikely because it's a relative simple board -- there's quite a few sources out there to obtain ultra-rare and/or obsolete parts (contrasting what many in the DIY community want you to believe).

Unless Dieter pillaged his own VCO's for CEM chips, I wouldn't worry about it too much. :-)

That said, I feel than once a support page with notes, schematics, ideas, wiring diagrams, etc. has been put up, most synth-DIYers will have sufficient material to complete (and expand on) the board.

You probably misunderstood something. Of course there will be support, but
not for the customers assembly but only for the DIY board. This is why we
are about to modify the board for the usage of dual row pin headers (like
the A-100 bus connectors) so that dual row female connectors with ribbon
cables can be used to connect all potentiometers, switches, LEDs, sockets
and no on. In this case no soldering at the DIY synth board is necessary and
it can be disconnected very easily from the customers assembly for service.
In case that indeed the board is defective it can be sent in for repair by
disconnecting it from the customers assembly. We will have a test
environment that allows to check out very fast if the synth board is working
as it should or if there is a fault.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer

Thanks for the reply.
Well, no i didn't misunderstood, just interpreted the
red highlighted tex on the product pages, thats all.

If you say so that you will be able to repair boards
nice,fine, i assume that will be some kind of charge
for doing so..

Anyhow there will be a balance point for you because there
will be pople who will modify and or dabbling about with the
circuit and in that case you have to make a decision whom to
reject and whom not to reject for service when things fail.
The DIY label on the product *will* invite all kind of
modding people and they will do hilarious things.

Every number has a unique decomposition as a product of primes.  So if the
dividers that do only prime divisions, then you can get the composite
divisions by daisy-chaining several together.  (i.e. to get a 6 division
daisy-chain 2 with 3).  Because of this property a primes-only module is
more useful than a Fibonacci-only module, since you will get a more diverse
set of divisions via daisy-chains.  (Also 8 is Fibonacci and the A160
already does division by 8).

Unfortunately Dieter cannot make a module that does all and only prime
divisions, since then he would create a small machine that would solve many
hard math problems faster than our fastest supercomputers.

...or maybe he can....  [cue mad scientist music]....

Hi Monroe

Your reply is far more considered than my proposal which was a piece of
whimsy rather than a a serious suggestion for a stand-alone commercial
product. That said, surely one would be limited to 8 numbers (or 7 and a
switch) in 4HP and the numbers are known, as suggested by Dieter on Feb
16, 9:47

We could develop a version with different sets of dividing factors, e.g.
linear 2/3/4/5/6..., 3/5/6/7/9/10 (only the factors not available at
A-160), 3/5/7/9/11... (only odd factors), 3/5/7/11/13... (only prime
numbers) and so on. The set could be chosen e.g. by internal jumpers or
a three-position toggle switch. It seems to be technically possible

Guy's mock-up and comments on labelling on Feb 16, 10:49 addresses the
physical side http://www.guyd2.com/stuff/doepfer_div.jpg
<http://www.guyd2.com/stuff/doepfer_div.jpg>  .

If this approach can make a prime-divider available then I'll be
delighted to pre-order a couple.

Cheers, Nick

I guess nothing came of this. There was discussion of  fibonacci and
prime dividers and I came across these from Erthenvar
<http://erthenvar.com/store/euromodules/div>   - the fibonacci has not
been released yet.Are there any other alternatives available?Cheers,
Nick

I make a vc divider:
http://www.rebeltech.org/modules/logoi/

It only goes up to 1/32 though, unless you reprogram it.
What did you want to achieve?

Hi Martin

The idea behind dividers using prime numbers is that they would be arhythmic, good at non-repeating patterns.
I've had a reply from Nicholas at erthenvar, who said,

"I'll add you to a list for a Fibonacci. I have assembled units but I'm missing 1 piece which is in storage, so I hope it won't be too long. I chose to do Odd instead of Prime. Unfortunately I seem to have chosen wrong because many folks request Prime."

He suggests that there's not a great deal of difference between 
Odd   1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and
Prime 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19.
and there's a deal of truth in that, though, of course, 15 is non-prime. And you don't really need the one, so 23 might fit on.

Cheers, Nick

Gentlemen,

Put me down as interested in either prime or odd.
