Once again, Richard Brewster has enhanced our lives with the use of simple comparator circuits. I'm glad I didn't get around to the front panel, because Richard's idea sounds like a winner. Simpler, more flexible, more modular! My front panel will have pots for Frequency, FM atte

The sub outputs are buffered +/- 5 volt levels from the counter that muxes the switched capacitors. They are the sub outputs of the internal VCO. The switch selects 1 of four outputs and and the sub in adjusts the level as the second input to the mixer. A normalized sub in jack w

Maybe it's just because I haven't had my tea yet this morning, but I'm confused as to why there is a SUB IN pot but no corresponding jack. When I saw the four-position switch markings I assumed you intended to run what Ken calls the IN 2 signal through the NC connection of a jack

I really liked Richard's design for the CGS Bi-N-Tic filter with the sub outputs. I also like all the tic marks and this makes for a fairly expensive panel. We've collaborated and come up with a common design that we will submit as a Stooge panel for Larry's next panel run. This

The first thing you need to do is work out what voltages the AS and Curetronics supplies put out. If they are +/-15V, all you need is to wire up an adapter cable. If they are +/-12V, they should work, but the occasional module will need modification (VCO, Bintic). If they are not
