Cgs synth

Well,
odd being a good thing with modular right? Otherwise just go buy a Voyager HA!

Anyways, your patches always leave me wondering. I am working on what goes into them and would love to see a point to point patch breakdown of some of them. You would be an awesome choice for a patch-book in my opinion.

I also plan to humbly *copy* the format of your website. Not seriously, but on my site I would like to make a page showing each module with modifications made. It has helped me to see your site and others in my personal DIY quest so it would be logical since I have a site to put my silly ideas and mods out there too. Thanks again Rich!

The "odd-tip" LOL. Thanks for the compliment, Thomas.

You could shift a pulse through the ASR. It can handle inputs in the
+/-10V range. But the CGS Gated Comparator module is better suited to
pulse shifting, and it has eight stages.

I just built the burst gen and it is really awesome to make ratchety-type effects when using an external clock controlled by and EG or LFO. The module was super easy to build and should not be overlooked for those looking to add some flavor to a module.

I have a Psycho LFO built but missing 3 560K resistors (thanks to Mouser miscounting my last order). As soon as these come, I am putting the Psycho LFO, Digital Noise and ASR into 1 2-space MOTM panel. This will allow for some unique "normalization" of the wiring to the 1/4" jacks (not possible in Banana I guess). For example, the clock of the digital noise controlling the clock in on the ASR so external patching is not needed. I don't know how trigger will behave (if at all) through the ASR, but it might be cool to use the analog memory to create additional trigger delays. If this works, it would be like a three-pulse burst generator.

Throw the switch/slash hit the key and the pulse wave flows through to an EG to be triggered like a burst generator. Not tested, but should work.
