idea for a (simple) new module: semi-tone volt. standards

2005-01-22 by levka0

Hi all,
Not intended to distract Peter from the assembly of the VCO's, 
but still an idea for a simple but useful new module:

A module that can put out quantized multiples of 1/12 V, 
eg from 1/12 - 12/12 V.
Meant to facilitate rapid & accurate interval tuning of VCO's.

synthesizers.com has a module like that
(http://www.synthesizers.com/q123.html),
and I have wished for something like this in the Euro Rack format for 
some time now.

Just a single rotary switch to slect the voltage/interval and a mini-
jack output that can be fed into the 1 oct/V input of a VCO.
If a rotary switch is too expensive, a series of 2 or 3-way switches 
may also do the job (maybe voltages for only the most musically 
relevant intervals are sufficient)
Anyway, the entire module width needs not be larger than 4-6 units

How about it ?

Regards from Amsterdam,
Joost
