sduck just posted this on the electro-music forum. And I think it's a cool demo of my Frequency Shifter, so I proudly pass it on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP9DazihgoQ (Phasing stuff towards the end.) Thank you, JH.

Richard Brewster put his into a new panel: http://pugix.com/synth/cynthia-dual-sawtooth-animator/ I bet he will have some advice for you. Best of luck! John L Rice PS - how do you like the sound of it?

I didn't see this comented before but this module doesn't fit into a typical cabinet. The Alpha pot for the 'FAT' feature is too big, the PCB also seems a little larger than usual but I think that replacing the pot will work. Anyone fixed this? Do you know if this potentiometer is linear or logaritmic? Even the screw holes are so small that I had to drill them again... Really annoying. Thanks! Miguel.

Yup - had the same problem (informed Cynthia about it as well right when they came out). I drilled out the holes and swapped out the top pot with a 16mm variant. The info I got from Cynthia is below: ========================================= 24mm Aplha Linear 10K from Mouser 31VA401-f http://www.mouser.com/ that is a 24mm pot which is too big apparently... a smaller pot that would fit and have the same feel is a smaller 16mm Pot instead of 24mm The 16mm Alpha pots I use for most everything is 31JN401-F ========================================= -greg

I think the discussion is about the MOTM-format sawtooth animator that Cyndustries offered for a short time. http://www.cyndustries.com/modules_sawtooth.cfm?type=50 That was a single-channel animator, using six or eight LFOs. I bought an assembled board and put it into a dual-channel panel. I suspected the same PC board was used. It might be possible to replace the Cyndustries 1U panel with a FPE dual panel and get a two-channel animator. (I happen to have a left over FPE panel exactly like the one I used, but with some cosmetic issues. If anyone is interested in it, contact me off list.)

Thanks to all for your answers, I will be replacing that pot. I hope to post some pics of my new 88 spaces cabinet soon! P.S. About the sound of the sawtooth animator, honestly, I didn't check it too much because it was waiting for space in the new cabinet, but I think that I won't use it to much, it sounds like having a polysynth with unison voices but only with one oscillator, nice and creamy but not my cup of tea ;-) Thanks!

Don't overlook the usage as a voltage-controlled LFO cluster. The 'Fat' control is the initial rate control for the LFOs, and 'VC Fat' controls them all in tandem. These LFO's have an interesting feature that when Fat is zero, they stop oscillating and hold whatever output voltage they are on.
