Re: passive set of attenuators/switches

2008-03-15 by matthew carpenter

My short answer is that I use all of these to attenuate any inputs that don't have them, which, on the Serge, are few and far between. I specifically have a Scaling Buffer, Scaling Processor and Active Processor near my two ADSRs. I haven't found any disadvantages to using any of

Attenuators on the Serge

2008-03-15 by Harold Tique

Greetings Frank and SMOG folks, The c/m Module(s) are the best for this. It contains two independent passive attenuators. Aslo, as an added feature, the upper "gate" voltage is a regulated +5v out that can be 'switched in' as a bias voltage who's level can then be preset by one (

Successfully destroying your speakers

In the past I was quite successful in destroying some of my speakers which is not rarely very costly as you might know...I sometimes like it LOUD, VERY loud... I connect my synths/modulars in many different ways - directly from e. g. an Serge UAP into an AUX input of a Hi-Fi Amp

As I am always trying to optimize my system I found the lack of attenuators my biggest "problem" so far. E. g. the "typical" wish of attenuating the ADSR stages. I searched the archives and found one "for sale" ad from John who mentioned a panel WITH attenuators for his ADSRs. Di

Thanks! It's funny... I tried that... and that's exactly how you do it with the SQP for making an 8 step sequence out of two rows of 4. (I use an ACPR rather than an XFAD). In that case, you actually need to use the / 8 output not the / 4. If I use 1/8 the freq. of the main clock

OK, this is a bit of a guess as I don't actually own one, but here is a workaround I think should work: - route A and B outs to the two ins of a VC X-fader - apply a square wave at 1/8 the freq of the main clock to the VC In of the X-fader. - The out of the X-fader will alternate
