Re: TKB/VCM crosstalk?

2003-12-11 by john duval

Hmmm... well i patched this up and i get no bleed
through from the clock signal into the TKB through the
VCM. Are you properly grounded? bad patch cable? I'm
at a loss.Anyone else?? What i did discover though was
a truely righteous patch based on your set up.Dig this
:
VC clock to 11:00 or DTG to equivalent
Clk drives TKB but also a PDIV
stage three of the PDIV into HOLD of TKB
NTO sine to "in" 1 of VCM NTO is set to 10:00
NTO saw to "in" 2 of VCM... or you can flip them
VCM to VCFQX "in" with freq set to 1:00
use row D of TKB just like you did but stack output to
VCF "in" of filter also... set pot to just past 12:00
adjust row D of TKB to taste.
I just got a smokin' boogie shuffle out of this
patch.
I'm laughing my ass off. Thanks man!!!
Kind regards
John DuVal
