Re: [ElektorFormant] Formant PRO German only

2004-12-09 by Ben van Loon

Hai Kris
 
I cannot tell you becase i have not build anything from the book formant pro.
I,ve got all the older modules of the formant synthesizer.
I am interessted in the moog module from the formant pro and maybe the VCO from the formant pro in the future.
There are many modules from the formant pro that can be integraded in the old formant so who knows in the future.
Sorry but i cant help at the moment
Greetings Ben

I bought the book today and it should be sent out tomorrow. I only need the schematics, from there I should be able to update the old designs so I can understand them. I have noticed that there is a sync input into the vco now, so I might use one old vco and two new vco's as to sync them to the first if this is possible. right now I'm guessing. The task of simulating these boards on software is difficult as the correct devices are not always available.

Would you be interested in giving me and others pointers on the calabration of the boards if I encounter any problems? Wont be building until after Christmas.

Appreciate your replies

Kris Bishop
