puzzled by the oscillating time generator...

puzzled by the oscillating time generator...

2008-02-28 by Bakis Sirros

hello Harry and Matt,

some more questions about the impressive VC timegen
osc:
it has two black banana jack inputs marked with two
arrows...
which one is the audio input and which one is the
audio output?
(i guess these can be used in the same way as in the
DSG, for envelope following, vc portamento, vc slew,
subharmonic generation, etc...?)
also, the red switch engages the self-cycle function
only for the left cell, or for both cells?

thank you,
best regards,
Bakis.

Hi Bakis,
The black jacks are both inputs, and yes, they can be used in the same way as the DSG.
The outputs are the blue jacks.
The red switch engages self-cycle for the left cell. For the right cell, a cable can be used to connect the GATE to TRIG to enable cycling.
Harry, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this...
Matt

yes, why didn't i see it?

its "Obvious" (for a Serge, anyway)... :D

thanks Matt,

Bakis.

I don't doubt that this will all become second nature to you after awhile...

puzzled by the oscillating time generator...

2008-02-28 by Harold Tique

Hello Bakis! -Harry here ...

The two black banana jacks are both SIGnal INputs, with the upper
one assigned to the left [Osc] function cell and the other to the
right [TG] cell.


Both VC function cells feature Dual Waveform Outputs -

Left [Osc] cell has:

BlUE Jack = Reverse SAW wave (w/extremely fast rise)
RED Jack = 50% duty-cycle SQuare Wave (rise/fall indiv. intoned)


Right [TG] cell has:

BLUE Jack = Triangle Wave standard w/ VC Variable Symmetry from
SAW thru Inv. SAW Waves

RED Jack = VC Variable Width Pulse Wave

The myriad of variations with patch programmed functionally
of this great M-class module is almost limitless (except when
you run short of patch cords!)


Best Regards,

HT

thanks Harold!

abut, what about that right [TG] cell you mention?
what TG stands for? Throbbing Gristle?
damn, that confusing Serge terminology... ;-)
:D

Harry just told me that the red switch is for the
RIGHT cell to engage self oscilation for it(OR you can
patch the gate out to the trig in of the right cell).
the left cell is ALWAYS self oscillating...

best regards, :-)
Bakis.
