Hi all, I am wondering what web usage there is when people are building CGS modules. For example, do you save the files locally to your machine, or do you log on to get the details each time you are building? I have been considering adding zip files of each module so they can be

I've been wanting to incorporate some light-sensitive controllers into my modular setup... I've got some CDS light-sensitive resistors, but they're pretty variable in terms of their light/dark resistance ranges, plus light levels in performance are pretty variable... so i'm think

Hi, I'm writing in hopes to hear opinions, specific uses, or stories of Mr. Stone's Analogic module. Any audio usage? Also regarding the Analogic, are the NAND/NOR sections essentially inverted representations of the AND/OR output? Thanks, Chris

I used a single 390K fixed resistor. Now you have tons of gain; then attenuate the gain at the input stage. BTW, I am adding VC attenuators via "Mike Irwin" VCA's to the audio inputs....I will put the details up on my site when I am done (I am almost done now...LP and BP are alre

Hi All, New to this group, live in Holland and working on MOTM/Oakley/CGS system. Got a Steiner VCF PCB coming my way and got two questions (cross posting to SynthPanels group): 1. What are my best options for mounting it on a Schaeffer panel, I figure there's more than one way (

Take a look to the CGS joystick controller, you can adapt it to any pot value, and since it uses the DC mixer you may add external inputs too to be attenuated by the joystick, instead being a generator only. This is my fovorite design, since it's the most versatile. Fernando > He

Yeah, I had thought about the model airplane controller. However, the joysticks I have seen in the "$20 controller" tend to be of a quality that's not quite as high as I'd like. they would definitely function, but for what I'm building I want them to be as nice as possible: somet

I looked around for awhile for joysticks. Best deal I found are remote controlled airplane transmitters. I bought mine for $20. You get 2 joysticks and a few switches that you came make into gate and/or trigger. Get a few and put your keyboard aside (hopefully forever !!) the P.

2004-01-29 by Scott Deyo
Yeah, retriggering envelopes is great fun, especially w/ a Psycho or VC LFO clocking it. You can also use "end out" as a trigger delay. W/ a sequencer or arpeggiator (like on the Mono/Poly), you can do shorter groups of notes instead of having it repeat over and over. And so many
2004-01-29 by inform3r
Yeah! I love this board too. At first it's quite overwhelming because like you said the possibilities seem endless. The most unexpected results I've gotten from it is when I plugged the output into my VCF's EG. It almost made everything sound like it had an echo on it! Have fun!

The -OUT 5 volt connection should be connected to the COM out of the +/- 15 volt section. If you measure across the +OUT and -OUT terminals you will see there is 5 volts between them. Ken >Hi people, > >I`m a newbie in electronics wiring a new PSU for my modular, it`s a >Powerone

That sounds great! The compander would be a nice touch. I've been thinking about fooling with the RAM address lines to see how short of a delay might be possible (for flanging, chorusing, etc.). Also, maybe see if there's some way to switch in an 'infinite' echo. This board sound
