yeah, probably won't be an issue with the AFG, Model 15s and few A111/110s. Although I've also been using the mono/poly in patches a lot, so it'll be interesting to see how the M/P responds, tuning knob on the MP is pretty narrowCZ Rider wrote: There are a few that may or may not be an issue for your application.
First the CV out from the keyboard, although it is 1v/oct, the F equals 0 volts, while some manufactures would have C as 0 volt. Depending on the oscillator used this may be no big deal.
hmmm.. interesting.. I was hoping to make the voyager the heart of the whole set-up.. using the vx CV outs in place of the Mono/poly or sh101 to control, while having a midi controller for some aux rack gear. I guess it probably won't affect me much since I'm using the Euro stuff for more nebulous sonic fun and not precise v/oct stuff.. .CZ Rider wrote:
The keyboard CV out from the vx351 is not buffered properly. A simple fix, but you would think for the price of the vx351, it would be designed better. Some users noticed with dot com oscillators that as more oscillators were added, the voltage would droop, requiring re-tuning. I tried controlling a Q960 sequencer running at audio speed as an oscillator. The vx351 didn't have enough juce to properly get 1 v/oct., it needed to be run through a buffer like a MOTM 820 to drive the Q960 oscillator. So the keyboard CV is anemic at best. If you plan on using the Voyager oscillators from and external CV source, you may have problems since they are not 1v/oct. So a CV sequencer with quantized outs set for 1v/oct. won't be in tune. (Just use MIDI)
so.. what the hell.. the VOyager Oscs don't track v/oct? are they Hz/V? what the hell? that seems bizarre. I couldn't find anything on the moog site about this kind of thing. COuldn't find any documentation about the voyager's operational voltages either..
I'm just getting into the DIY side of things.. Have a few Ken Stone PCB's part way populated awaiting my return in the basement... This seems like something I could feasibly wrap my brain around.. fairly simpleCZ Rider wrote:
The rest of the CV outs do a good enough job, and controlling a modular from the touch pad is a blast. The noise source is typical Moog and only about 2 or so volts out. The vx351 has little in the way of circutry, and the average DIY'er could design a similar interface. Only has a tl082 for the kbd. scale, no buffer, all the other jacks are simply unbuffered and directly connected to the multi pin socket. Moog never officially released the pin out for either in/out multi-pin socket, but it would be easy to make and wouldn't cost $295, even with a custom panel in your favorite format.![]()
Inside the vx351. One LM2940, a TL082, trimmer, 3 caps, 2 resistors, 2 pots, 33 jacks. Not very complex?
