Re: Adding glide outs to the Programmer Sequencer

2008-01-07 by sasami@hotkey.net.au

It would be an easy mod. Replace the 100k between the op-amps of each mixer with: -330R-|1Mpot|-100k- with the capacitor connected between the 1M pot and the 100k. The 1M is wired the same as in the psycho. Ken >I would love to add glide outs to each cv output on the Programmer >

Adding glide outs to the Programmer Sequencer

2008-01-07 by matthewregula

I would love to add glide outs to each cv output on the Programmer Sequencer I am about to build. Could I do something as simple as an add-on board, with copies of the glide circuit from the Super Psycho LFO?? Thanks.

The first thing you need is a way of seeing what is happening on the various pins of the ICs. If you don't have a logic probe, run a cord from your VCO pitch input, connecting a 100k resistor to the tip of the cord (use an aligator clip), and use the other end of the resistor as

Hi Michael, If you're measuring 12.5V on pin one of the LM358, your problem is there. Check to see if all the resistor values are correct and all solder joints are nice and shiny. If you used a different chip here, replace it with the correct LM358. There's a notice on Ken's page

The PWM input is at zero volts with nothing connected. This gives a square wave with nothing connected. If you put a 100K attenuator pot on the PWM input, you could wire the normally closed lug on the CV input jack to +12V with a 100K resistor. With nothing plugged into the jack
