Test Calibration Synthacon filter Panther.

Test Calibration Synthacon filter Panther.

2007-07-31 by osaiber

Hello!

I'm newbie in DIY. I just have mounted three synthacon filters. All
looks good.

I read in the manual but I have not achieved to calibrate the filters
with the three trim resistors, P 206, P202 P201 .

Can anybody explain in a detailed way how make it?





Many Thanks in advance,

Òscar.

Hello Oscar,

Just a note for you and any CGS readers. The trimpot designators you have
used are from my schematics for the Panther version of the circuit. Ken's
circuits do not use these designators so you need to cross-reference as
follows:-

CGS735 (Panther), CGS35E (CGS)
P201, CV REJECT
P202, RES TRIM
P206, SPAN TRIM

Thanks Laurie.

I saw that I made an error, I put the trimpot resistors in wrong
places. I have already fixed this.

I have been able to calibrate the filter, but the potentiometer of
frequency only covers from 40 hz to 1Khz. If I increase the trimpot,
I lose low frequencies, for example I can obtain from 100 hz to 2Khz.

Is it normal ? Can I obtain a wider range of frequencies?

Also i have noticed noise when I turn the resonance pot.

Is it normal?



Many thanks and Best Regards

Re: Test Calibration Synthacon filter Panther.

Hi Oscar,

Glad that is sorted out.

First of all we will attack the noise problem. This is a well documented
problem and there is a small error on the pcb which you need to look at (I
thought I had already advised you of this, but so many things happening
lately). Anyway, at one end of the board is a resistor and capacitor (R210
and C207). Turn the board so that they are nearest to you and the pots are
on your left. You need to desolder the right-hand leg of the resistor and
the left-hand leg of the capacitor and then join these 2 legs together in
mid air. This should resolve the noise problem.

Now for the other matter. Except for the error above, I have tried to stay
as close to Ken's circuit as possible. I would recommend a quick visit to
his website and pop in to the CGS35 module (not the CGS35E). Towards the end
of the page is some feedback from another customer who has made adjustments
to some of the values to improve the control. It would be worth studying
them and possibly trying them out. I have been so busy lately, especially
with getting the front panels for these modules organised, that I haven't
had any time to spend on other tasks. One of those tasks is to try out the
aforementioned changes and see how they work. If they do work as well as
indicated then I will be adapting the CGS735 circuit to suit. If you do
experiment with and get the results you expected then please let me know and
I will try and speed up the check at my end.

Best Regards

I have already fixed it. The filter have lost the noise and have
increased the width range frequency.

Hi,

Another major improvement was released by Ken yesterday. Replace diodes
D201, D204, D207 and D210 with wire links. This will give you substantially
increased range and a much better range from the Resonance pot.

Best Regards
