Re: SX-240 Control Voltage in-out?

2012-04-26 by jimmyb00ts

Thanks Travis. The DCOs are non-discrete, correct? I.e. they are on chips like the SSM2044s? Are they digitally-controlled analog oscillators (i.e. Six-Trak) or are they fully digital? I have read both facts in different places. Are there eight oscillators?

Many thanks,
James

I will be ordering a replacement battery and diode soon; the synth starts up with a hanging note but otherwise is a joy to play.
