I know, I know, "don't you have anything better to do after 10pm on a holiday weekend?" Anyway, I was wrong about the DSG - hard sync thing. It is sort of like hard sync but not exactly. Since hard sync is about forcing the slave osc to start a new cycle, that is not what a DSG d

The main use for soft sync is locking two or more oscillators to a master frequency. If you have oscillators without softsync tuned together they will always be "beating" against each other. Maybe the beat might be slow but it's there. Soft sync eliminates the beating between osc

from the recent discussion it appears that several of us have gotten on rex about wanting hard sync on the oscillators. i know i got a little over the top with that point when talking to rex about it after purchasing my system. it went something like: me - "hi rex, i think my osc

2003-05-12 by John Papiewski
This is an interesting question. How to do this with the fewest modules. A comparator by itself isn't enough afaik. It will follow the gate you patch into it and output the same thing. So the comparator accomplishes nothing. Or if you set the bias negative enough you will get an

2003-05-11 by John Papiewski
What you're after is a partial-cycle retriggerable AR, which the DSG is not. Once triggered it will do a full attack-decay cycle. After the cycle is complete you can trigger it again but attempts to trigger it before the decay is over have no effect. That's the 'erratic' behavior

I'll throw you a lifesaver... Guessing here, you're trying to interface the Buchla with the Serge. I haven't done this myself but there are probably just two issues: grounding and triggers with the rising edge. Are you sure the two synths have a common ground? If they don't the t

As they say in the manual, damage is pretty unlikely, even if you do it. If a module is designed propperly, there won't be a problem. If it isn't there may be. Some modules do have errors in this field. The SSG is one example. On later modules, there is a resistor soldered on to
