The first thing I would so is remove the diode connected to pin 5 of the 40106. That will let the oscillator free run. If you are trying to do any tests with the generator in its "hold" state, the oscillator will not run. Ken >Lance, I don't think that is correct. The middle lug

Jim. If you look at the diagram the 22k side is tied to the left terminal AND the pot wiper. the right terminal is then tied to the 47k and diode. Lance On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 11:42 AM, James Elliott johans121@... > wrote: > Lance, I don't think that is correct. The middle lug is

Lance, I don't think that is correct. The middle lug is is not soldered to ground, it is soldered to the one of the two pot pads (middle to the 47k, center to the diode & 22k), if I were to bridge the other lug to center, then I would have a constant resistance of 2Meg between th

Hi all. I changed the 150K resistors in the schmitt trigger sections for 127K-ish (6K8 + 120K in series), to get the output from the saw/tri up to ±5V. It was originally around ±4V. This works, but there is a very slight negative offset - the wave dips a wee bit below -5V and doe

I frequently patch the three D/A outputs of the Infinite Melody directly to 1V/octave inputs of VCOs. The voltage range of these outputs depends on the bit disable switches for bits 4 and 5. And if you need to attenuate the CV, every VCO has attenuated FM inputs. There is a commo
