This is something I haven't tried. On my five-year old STS system it works OK into the INPUT jack (not the AGC jack), but it overshoots. I am surprised a bit since the input jacks are black, which is s'posed to mean AC coupled. If that were true this glide application wouldn't wo

Dear Sergemaniacs: Good new and bad news in the world of SMOG. First, the good news: the 2002 Serge Musicians Tape CD has been compiled, mastered, and is currently undergoing critical review. 10 tracks of Serge. After approval the master will be certified and we will then work on

I discovered something similar to this a couple of years ago. I realized that portamento is really nothing more than a lowpass filter, so I though... hmmm... what will happen if I use a four pole filter? One of my filters, based around the SSM2044 VCF IC worked really well. And a

Someone posted something on AH the other week about how portamento is implemented in IIRC Reaktor. I can't remember the exact details, but it inspired me to route the CV out from my little Roland SH09, via thee VCFQX, to, uh, another brand of voltage controlled Oscillator. I used

The sine wave question came up here recently didn't it?? Or wuz it AH?? NTO/PCO sine waves have tiny pips in them, or mine do. I can hear the extra harmonics esp. in the lower registers. This is annoying - if I want purity I have to filter them or make a sine wave from the VCFQ.

This was a good question. I finally had a chance to hook up my NTO to an oscilloscope to resolve it. This is not a mixer or interpolating scanner. It does some sort of wave transformation as Ken had originally questioned. None of the waveforms are accurate, saw, sine, narrow puls

Just got a new custom panel from Rex: FRS,C/M, EQ, MAX, PRC, scaling proc. and VCA. Awesome!! Unfortunately, the FRS's internal oscillator is misbehaving, so good ole' Rex is gonna tell Kevin to fix it for me. One thing I'm planning to do with this system is to use the linear pot

Thanks to everyone that pointed me in the right direction. I adjusted the trimpots on the inside of the TKB. It is quite nice to fine tune the pressure and sensitivity of the interface. I am very happy with the responsiveness now. I have worked on a lot of different analog sequen

I would take the flyers and scan them for the file archives. I was the one who scanned and converted the late 1970s and 1982 catalogs to pdfs. Is the Owner's Guide the Rich Gold book? If so I already have that, otherwise, I would be interested in that as well. John Loffink jloffi

2002-09-08 by Tim Curtis
Hi Ben - Yes, what you're dealing with is an adjustment issue. We adjust the sensitivity at the shop before a TKB ships but a number of factors influence it that we can't adjust for - everything from climate/environment to the pH balance of the user's skin. If you open up the TKB
2002-09-07 by keeperofthewogglebug
You shouldn't need to send your TKB in for service. There are two trimpots on the back of the board and they usually have to be adjusted because we all have different body chemistry and the surrounding atmospheres of your studio and our shop are different. I adjusted these to my

I've been reading the old Serge user manual, and in it, it shows two programmers being hooked up as an 8 stage sequencer. As standard, the programmers will NOT work this way, as the last fired stage in each programmer remains active. On the drawing, one of the PULSE outputs has a
