You can't use the outputs sequencially because they run in tandem and you can't loop... if i'm reading you right on this.Sure, you can make the first row output to "A" and the second row to "B" and so forth just as it's indicated on the face plate, but they won't go in sequencial

John, You are correct, the DSG must finish it's cycle before it can be retriggered. The rise and fall times must therefore be set to complete before the next trigger. This really is not hard sync at all, but as close as one might come on a Serge, I guess. Regards, Scott =========
2004-04-29 by John P
And actually, y'know, now that I'm thinking about it, you can't do hard sync with a DSG either. Doesn't hard sync *force* a waveform cycle to restart with every sync pulse input? The DSG won't do that. It completes a whole cycle when triggered, it doesn't retrigger. Scott E. wrot

The programmer has push buttons to manually select the start step which immediately becomes active. If there is no clock it obviously stays on that step until it gets a clock. This can be used as a 4 value memory device (A ,B,C,D ). If there is a clock running, the last pressed s

Hi people, OK I have some questions for you. 1. Can you get a pulse wave by feeding a square one to a comparator? If so, how do I vary the pulse width and the depth of the modulation? 2. Does the "sync" input in the NTO and PCO provide hard or soft synchronization? How do you get

Also, the best is to write down what the concept of the patch was. So you can get deeper and deeper (this may result in simpler and simpler sometimes) Something like: ------- "Sharp Sparks" Random triggered hig energy transients with different very short decay resonances. The res

For me, the best is to do a diagram of the conections. Then anotate the "starting values" of the most important knobs. And further variations. This is still nothing, since there is plenty of interactivity between all modules, functions, signals, etc. and each time you run the cir

I don’t document patches. For a moderate sized modular synthesizer this gets to be cumbersome and inaccurate. It is good for a learning tool, but not much more. If this is critical to you I recommend a virtual modular. Of course, then you lose the real time features of a real mod

Sometimes I'll mix up a few gallons of epoxy and pour it on the patched up Serge. It prevents the knobs from jiggling on a carefully done patch. And then all the patchcords can be pulled out all at once. john duval wrote: >I've had the same patch up for about three months now. >I

I've had the same patch up for about three months now. I've recorded it but still some changes need to be made. I used to write them down, graph them out. I even went so far as to take the templates that rex would send of my panels when they were nearing completion and make copie

If it's a patch I need for a serious project, I either leave it in place until the project is complete, or sample it - just the mere act of sampling changes the sound IMO, let alone the endless tweakability while the patch is still 'live' so to speak. To be honest, I've just lear

All the tracks for the new (2002) material have been mastered & ready. We're working on the artwork & packaging for it. The mastering engineer's going thru the older (1982) material and tweaking the sound. I've heard the 'raw' material, the variety and musical quality is really g

Nice patch. I tried it out, adding a little PDIV here and there, and it has lots of possibilities. I recently took another look at the SSG coupler output as a trigger for various events and with interesting results. I have questions regarding the SSG cycle jacks. Do they have any

Yep! I think the SDIY thread referenced was in regard to my 4006 shift register dalliance, which is an evil blend of the gated comparator and the quantized random voltage function of the Buchla 266 SOU. Cheers, Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: sasami@... > To: SergeModula

2004-04-19 by john duval
I think the NCOM swap in place of the PDIV is reasonable and a good call. The rest however is something that i personaly wouldn't do. I definately wouldn't use the DSG for a clock source...or rather, force it into that role.Just because you "can" doesn't mean you should. just my

> Is the sound of the VCF2 much different from the VQCF? yes - the VCF2 is a VC Bandwidth Filter - with voltage control of both Freq and Bandwidth. No 'Q'. The VCFQ is a 'regular' 12dB Multimode Filter - but with nice features such as voltage control of 'Q' and Auto Gain Control

'Maybe 4 panels?' You can squeeze a pretty damn powerful system into three IMHO. Any more than one panel is a pretty serious financial outlay on a system you probably don't fully understand yet. I started with one and didn't find it too disappointing. In fact, having progressed t

Hi, what do you think to put a NCOM instead of a PDIV in the Sequencer panel? I can have different pulse from the NCOM's lower part if I remember properly. Also swap the VC Clock for a Random Source since I can clock the sequencers from either the DSG or DTG. And maybe replace th

Since someone asked about the random source versus the noise, I thought I’d patch something fun up to show some of the advantages of the RS over the Noise. Here’s what I did... 1. Patch up a clock to your favorite programmer and/or tkb . (I used both but it doesn’t matter) 2. Set

2004-04-17 by John Loffink
I would not rule out at least one NTO in your system. Keep in mind what else you're getting beyond a PCO: VC Waveshape, VC Portamento, VC Dynamic Depth FM. That's a lot of functionality in one extra module space. John Loffink The Microtonal Synthesis Web Site http://www.microtona
2004-04-17 by James R. Coplin
I suppose you are right. You can get most of the functionality with the noise and SSG combo as well as gain back a space. *I* really like random voltages so having two S&H sources available via the random source and SSG is worth it to me. Others may not find it so important. Also

2004-04-16 by cuari7
I'm partial to PCO's + Dual Comparators instead of NTO's. The PWM effect from the variable wave is not as rich as the PCO/COMP combo, IMO. Plus, you only take up 5 one-inch spaces with 2 PCO's + one Dual Comp. vs 2 NTO's. I love BOTH the Waveshaper and Wave Multiplier. They both

Yes, Doepfer can be a bit cheap n' nasty, but I think a comparison to MOTM or Modcan is not out of order. The Modcan Oscillator is $300. I used to own an NTO and a PCO and found them both useful. To restrict yourself to one or other would be a shame IMO. It IS worth thinking ahea
