Cloned circuits, was Modcan

2001-06-09 by Microtonal

I looked back at the Serge catalog and realized I had missed the staircase output, which wasn't in my circuit. With this in mind I'd guess the Serge implementation is a pulse generator/staircase generator based on the LM3900 Norton amplifier, not on the DSG. With this is mind, ju

I can't see why anyone would even bother to copy the design for a logic module. Put schmitt triggers on the inputs for slowly rising signals, then some CMOS gates, add some LED drivers, you're done. It's not rocket science. The Modcan Boolean Logic and VC ADSR panel layouts are o
