Normalling 2 Analog Shift Registers and adding an attentuator

Normalling 2 Analog Shift Registers and adding an attentuator

2008-05-08 by ilanode

Hi list, I'm about ordering frontpanels for my to Analogue Shift
Registers. However I cannot decide on how to implement two features:

At the moment I think of wiring a 100k pot after the CV input. . While
this is cool for some applications I wonder wether this knob will
affect a quantized CV at the input in a way that it is no longer
quantized at the output. What do you think?

I think about normalling the 2 Shift Register for one with six stages.
It's obvious that the Clock In 1 goes to the switch of the input jack
of the Clock In 2. Could please s.o. confirm if it's ok to connect the
Stage 3 Output of the first shift register to the switch of the input
jack of the CV In of the second one?

Yes, no big deal for the expierenced but for me... Hence any help is
appreciated.

Ken, even I'm slow in building your modules I highly appreciated your
great work. Thanks!

Best regards, Ingo

It will mess up the quantized signal in the same way as the CV level pot
would on your VCOs. You really want the quantizer AFTER the ASR (and yes,
that would mean one per output).

It is perfectly okay to do so.

I've used quantizers on the ASR inputs. There is a slight DC offset
that's a little different on each of the three outputs. But sometimes
the results are quite acceptable:

I've got four quantizers now, but six ASR outputs!

Ken @ Richard, Thanks for your replies!

I'll put an attentuator after the CV In since the quantizer *should*
be at the output it's fine to attentuated non quantized signals from
e.g. my noise source without an output attentuator. My brief testing
with an quant. signal suggests that the ASR will output at least
fairly quant. signals as well. But that could be my (bad) hearing.
Best regards, Ingo
