Re: [crumar] Re: Crumar Performer Question

2004-12-27 by Stefan Rinass

Doesn\ufffdt have the Perfomer a separate VCO for Brass? Ok, my Multiman had 
(afaik, i\ufffdve trashed it one Year ago, i\ufffdm sorry for the wrong 
Chip-Manufacturers/Types) -only- a TDA1008 and a replacement part (even 
the 1008 was defect) would have cost more than 40 Euro here. I currently 
own a Siel Cruise and it has a separate (VCO?) for the Mono-Section and 
a MK50240 for the Poly-Section. The Poly-Section also didn\ufffdt made any 
sound, only a quiet opamp-1shot- noise while pressing a key, but that 
wasn\ufffdt a Malfunction of the 50240; there was a 4066 nearly the TOG which 
was defect....
