The Animal shop panel gives a complete voice including envelopes (DTG) and semi-random control (SSG w/noise). Otherwise you would have to go with a pair of panels, Blue Voice plus Blue Control or Red Voice plus Red Control, or mix and match. The voice panel has the audio generati

From what I gathered talking on the phone with Rex, he didn't seem to want to rerelease the old design - I'm guessing here - as the old design is not up to the quality or sophistication of the rest of the current stuff. Some of the posts on this thread have got me thinking though

If Rex had no problems with it, it would be a VERY simple matter to release the old pulse sequencer as PCB. There is essentially nothing to it. In fact the design is so common-place I doubt Serge could even hold a copyright to it. As for Cynthia's design, look here for the detail

I was talking to Rex the other day about some modules I'd like to see. Serge used to have a pulse sequencer module a long time ago, a sequencer that just gave you a pulse per stage for rythmns. Buchla had something like this too. Rex said in order to do this today he'd want to cr

Nice updates Les. You might consider adjusting the prices as well, as some are different in my Summer 2002 price list - (in dollars) the QMX is 1,275, the QPC 350, the PS2 250, the PS4 350, the PS6 475, the ROX 300, and the BOX 250. No price cuts anywhere though :(

Hi! I'm not really sure about the VCA content of the quadrature oscillator [QUO] because I haven't had to fix any. I know it has a real VCO in it and it must have the two VCAs on the outputs. The [QUO] has its own dedicated PCB, which is not stacked. It is the same type of oscill

FWIW, I mentioned a nonlinear slope to the unwanted portamento on the QTKB--on second look it seems very close to a cap charge/discharge curve. There's most likely a cap somewhere on the input circuitry of the QTKB that is introducing this slew. If changing this cap value doesn't

2003-02-17 by John Papiewski
I wonder if there's something you can trim on the qtkb to fix this delay everybody's talking about? I've listened carefully to my unit & it seems fine. I don't have an asr though. As for the gate pulse, if you patch the quantizer output into the + side of a comparator and the inp

Thanks to Peff for the measurements! That leaves me with one last QTKB question (yes, and then I won't mention this again, promised): do its TKB OUTPUTS carry an already quantized signal or are they just "thrus" for the unquantized TKB row outputs? Regarding a quantizer without p

Ok, folks, I have been reading the continuing quantizer thread(s) and decided to settle it once and for all, at least scientifically... I pulled out the oscilloscope and there IS both a delay and slew (portamento) effect imposed by the QTKB. I initally set the TKB up to alternate

John, or it may be that I am the Bozo of the year. This was how I tested the QTKB= on George's Serge: I took the TKB OUT A outputs of the QTKB, routed it into th= e QTKB INPUT 1 and used QKTB OUTPUT 1 to control the NTO. I assumed that the TKB OUTS of the QTKB were just duplicate

I've run my TKB quantizer thru hoops this morning, using the tkb part and the open channels and I don't hear any delay. I know there must be some delay since nothing on this earth responds in zero seconds but at least on mine (a one year old STS unit) it's not musically objection
