DIAGRAM:
A simple
concept...

A MORE DETAILED
DESCRIPTION:
|
 |
OSCILLATOR I Square
wave
tuned to C# when the freq is fully down, range switch
up & the fine-tuner somewhere in the middle...
sample:
aliens?
OSCILLATOR II
Textured square wave with adjustable
duty cycle
sample:
sweeping the controls
OSCILLATOR III
A filtered, more
mellow square wave
sample:
echo strings
sample: random sequence & space echo
|
|
 |
|
LFO
2 ranges
2 waveforms > square & morphed square
The destination-switch allows for internal routing to oscillator I
or the filter.
However, the top-panel enables the other 2 oscillators
to be modulated by the LFO aswell...

FILTER
LOW
PASS FILTER I
more or less copied this filter-circuit
from Music from
Outerspace (WSG)
Just added the color-switch - wich cuts some of the low end,
revealing more of the subtleties in the resonance - & a bypass
switch (because I usually prefer my moogerfooger to filter this device...)

MIXER
Obviously this mixes
the oscillators
The noise
control adds hiss
(a filtered white noise generator) The
external input is intended for other raw oscillator-type devices |
|
STABILITY
This control adds resistance to
the powersource, making the modules unstable
sample |
euhm, yes... |
|
|
|
|
 |
TOP PANEL
CV inputs for the 3 oscillators
& the cutoff frequency
LFO output - this is wired after
the amount-knob, but before the destination-switch. So it can be
patched to anywhere regardless of the internal routing
As stated before, the external
input is intended for oscillators, it does not take a guitar or
synth-signal. (actually voiced it specifically for my Utopia Synth)

MAKING OF FEATURETTE:
|
|
|
|
|
It started with
countless hours of experimentation
on the breadboard...
|
...untill I had a
final circuit...
|
|
|
|
...soldered the
modules point to point
onto perforated boards...
|
...marked the holes
on the aluminium faceplate
with a drill-punch...
|
 |
 |
| ...drilled the
holes...
|
...glued on the
legend with tec7
& freed the holes...
|
 |
 |
| ...added the
controls...
|
...added some
wires...
|
 |
 |
..added some more
wires...
this step took
7 hours of continuous soldering,
only interupted by the occasional sigaret & coffee-refill
|
...made the wooden
case...
|
 |
 |
| ...mounted the boards
& faceplate...
|
...hooked everything
up...
Several things do not work, shit...

...after a 3-day
troubleshoot nightmare
I screwed everything together & added the knobs...
