VCO Troubleshooting
2012-12-17 by daveholt3283
I've now wired up two identical CGS VCOs and am having identical issues with both of them.
1. The initial pulse width knob does nothing. I have a 100k linear pot with T1 connected to -VE, wiper to PWM, and T2 connected to +VE. The PWM input works exactly as expected.
2. The sub pulse output sounds like the pulse width is about 5%. This might be normal, but with the lack of demos out there, I'm just not sure.
3. The difference between the "sine" and the ramp when I turn the knob is pretty minimal, although this might also be normal. I get more variation using a mod source, but even then it never quite gets all the way to either shape.
Any help you guys can give is much appreciated.
