Finally got my prototype discrete Yamaha CS VCO working

2004-08-24 by Christopher_S_Rider

I decided to take the discrete VCO design I'd been leaving on the 
project back-burner for a year or more and finish building the 
prototype.  It works, but it needs a little debugging, mostly in 
stabilizing the frequency vs. power supply tolerances.  When I get a 
chance, I'll record the raw output of the VCO sawtooth waveform both 
with and without the curious little one-shot pulse that is mixed into 
the leading edge of each cycle.  It is only 30 microseconds wide, but 
it definitely makes an audible difference, and gives that signature 
CS 'rasp' to the tone.

  Here are some scope shots of the actual IG00153 VCO output to see 
what I'm talking about.  I'll add scope shots of my discrete VCO 
later.
