If it wasn't so frustrating I'd be seeing the funny side of it too... I can assure you the problems are not thru any misuse. I've never gigged with my Serge and its in a non-smoking home studio environment. It is a mystery but I am clutching at 1 theory as to how 2 of my panels h

Probably not. The schematic I had has been mentioned here - so possibly it ain't the real deal. I've got a four panel coming over in a couple of weeks. It's got three NTOs and it's old (paper faceplates). I'll have a look .Steve Ridley wrote: > >> Now who knows if this schematic

Think about it. How could you create a variable pulse from 40 to 90% just by crossfading two waveforms no matter what their phase relationship was? From your description, it does sound like the NTO variable waveshape circuit has changed. John Loffink The Microtonal Synthesis Web

2004-06-09 by John Loffink
On my NTO, sine and triangle are 180 degrees out of phase with one another. This could just be from an extra inverting op amp in the circuit. The sawtooth edge coincides with the peak of the sine wave, where the slight discontinuity is seen. Sine and sawtooth position on the vari

I see a barely noticeable peak/spike at the top of my 2002 era NTO sine wave outputs. This doesn't seem like it would add much harmonics. The overall shape is a little more rounded than a sine wave, but this is typical of sine waves shaped from triangle waves. If I get a chance I

2004-06-08 by John Loffink
That is a good approach if you don't have the QUO. However, I believe the QUO is probably quadrature phase triangle wave based with sine wave shapers on the outputs. When I used the hold function, I noticed the sine wave always resumes where it left off in the cycle, not where it
2004-06-08 by John Loffink
The QUO is especially nice for panning since the Serge panning VCs lack attenuators, while the QUO essentially has them built in. This allows moderate panning effects rather than full left to right panning. John Loffink The Microtonal Synthesis Web Site http://www.microtonal-synt
2004-06-08 by John Loffink
I have the QUO. I don't know if it is the same circuit as the Frequency Shifter. The one on the Serge FS that I played with 4 years ago seemed to have a wider range. John Loffink The Microtonal Synthesis Web Site http://www.microtonal-synthesis.com The Wavemakers Synthesizer Web
2004-06-08 by John Loffink
True, but ideally you want vibrato at the exponential FM input so the pitch range is balanced on both high and low cycles, though I suppose for mild vibratos it may not matter. John Loffink The Microtonal Synthesis Web Site http://www.microtonal-synthesis.com The Wavemakers Synth
2004-06-07 by John P
Another side note: for those without the QUO but who have an SSG - the 'Smooth' section can be patched as an oscillator, and 'hold' will stop the waveform in its tracks, just like the QUO... but with the Smooth section you're getting a triangle, not a sinewave. Now, how many othe

you have it... it just makes it more intense. that's the beauty of it. You can VC the intensity(depth) and you can VC the speed. Now when you combine that feature with the ability to stop the vibrato and the panning at the same time, if things are spinning rather fast, it's a dra

I don't have one but I believe that it's the same circuit that's used in the frequency shifter. The sine wave has to be very pure for that. I would think that the v/oct would be accurate/useful for most audio & musical applications as well as control. Anybody else? paradigmshiftb
2004-06-07 by john duval
I use my QUOs for Xfading, paning and anywhere else that requires a smooth transistion... fast or slow. The VC gain and hold functions are just the thing to stop the swirling in "mid air" so to speak and the gain control is great for controling the voltage swing by making it as s
2004-06-07 by paradigmshiftbeats
A few questions about this module: 1) I have read comments about the NTO/PCO not having "pure" sine waves due to the waveshapers used in these modules. Does the QUO utilize the same circuits or does it in fact produce true sines? 2) Does the 1v/oct tracking function accurately en
