Hi! I've folowed this video for about 7:30 then I've started to experimenting (already did seen this all but not sure I remember all) It was a surprise: - if I change a resistance of one Schmitt trigger (1-2) then 2nd (3-4) is kind of syncing to the 1st. I've made a simple mixer with one resistor (from pin 2) then it meets the triangle wave from pin 3 and these are mixing with a cool "notchy" wave. - if pin 3 goes to the "meeting point" through a resistor then the wave is completely other! It makes FM on the square wave. Very interesting sound also! I've replaced the R for 2nd schm.osc. to a LDR - it's gives cool performance :) It sounds like RM! One important detail: I have a powerful bycicle headlight for this and... the character of the modulation also depends on it's force! I don't know why... maybe because this headlight gives a "blinking light" (controlled by PWM?), not constant.

Since I didn't have the amplifier u have in your video (or another amp at all), i tried to do it without. First of all there came no sound whatsoever out of the speaker i plugged directly from the output to ground. Found out that a capacitor between the output and the speaker fixes this. Is that what they call a decoupling capacitor?

@roccorossi99698 жыл бұрын
+casperelectronics synthesizers what s the capacitor value?
@SpeccyMan8 жыл бұрын
Actually that is a DC blocking capacitor. A decoupling capacitor always connects to ground at one end, hence it decouples (usually noise on the power supply rails) to ground. It could technically be called a coupling capacitor (since it couples the output of the oscillator to the input of the amplifier/speaker) but definitely not a decoupling capacitor. A capacitor connected between pins 14 and 7 of your 40106 would be a decoupling capacitor (though not actually necessary here.)

It's great to make DIY synth as a standalone device. It's not a product or a brand or a price tag anymore, cool. But if I try imagine the simplest way to get a sound of an analogue oscillator and filter, I end up with an idea of a device with just four CV inputs: pitch, amp, filter cutoff and resonance amt. So I set a DAW to send those values to some, say Arduino, usb interface, that will work as 4 midi cc-to-voltage converters, and that's all. All kinds of LFO -ing, ADSRs, keytracking, velocity scaling, etc. I do from within DAW.

Please would you mind telling me/us what is the difference between a current controlled oscillator and a VCO? You don't address VCOs? That statement is confusing for me because I thought those were all VCOs.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@bubagoo8 жыл бұрын
+alvaro obyrne yes it's the current. The potentiometer in this circuit is used to control how much current goes from the output of the Schmitt trigger back into the input. In this case the pot is only limiting the signal so you would call it an attenuator. You can make this a VCO by basically replacing the pot with a voltage controlled attenuator. This can be done with a vactrol, a VCA (like the V2164) or with some circuit zazzz and transistors like the 2N3904.

The output will then be a buffered copy of your LFO.
