Re: [analogue_systems] French Connection

2003-10-12 by Bryan Lowe

Hi...
 
Actually, the Ondes has a keyboard that has vibrato capability as well.  The french connection does not.   Also, the concert Ondes had a full sized keyboard.  The French Connection does not.   The ondes also had 4 different speakers, one with resonating strings, another with a gong that resonates as well.
 
But....
 
You are right on the hetrodyne.  So far by mixing two of the outputs from the AS VCO into the AS VCA I am able to get a pleasant sound that is not unlike the sound of the Ondes on the recordings I have.
 
A minimal setup, but all my current budget allows.  More soon.   It has been a blast so far.  I am not a keyboard player even... so much to learn.. but so far a theme from Mother Goose by Ravel, and a great piece for Ondes by Jacques Charpentier.  Far from perfected, but I am on my way!
 

 
Same controler but not the same "synthesis" (the Ondes like theremins are
not synths) as you'd need a module based on the heterodyne effect. ;)
