Synth has 4-oct keyboard (F-C) with velocity (sensitivity assign to vibrato effect). For live performance there is a wheel which provides pitch shift. ESTRADIN 230 is based on 3 VCO (osc. No.3 can work as the modulator), 1 VCF (lowpass 24dB/oct)with ADSR, 1 VCA, 3 LFO, noise generator (white/pink), portamento, memoryloop. It has an EXTERNAL INPUT allowing to use FILTER and GENERATORS with OTHER INSTRUMENTS such as guitars, other synths! ESTRADIN 230 consist of 5 main sections - OSC'S, MIXER, MODULATION, FILTER and AMP...
OSCILLATORS section:
- osc 1,2,3 registers - 2", 4", 8", 16", 32", LF
- osc 1,2,3 waveshape select - triangle, saw, square, pulse, sine

- freq 1..3, freq 2, freq 3
-linked to keyboard pitch on/off
MIXER:

- mod mixer knob: balance between modulated by OSC3 and noise, depth amount;
- pitch wheel (glissando)
FILTER:

Hello! I recently aquired this ESTRADIN 230 and I'm wondering what do I else need to link it to my soundblaster card with standard stereo minijack input. I used specially made 5 din to stereo minijack cable, but anything I can hear from the soundblaster output when synth is played is some low-frequency clicks. Do I need some special amplifier for synth to work properly? Please share some advice.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Seems to be a problem with the output.
ReplyDeleteIf you made a proper connection from DIN to Minijack, it should work.
Probably the 230 is defect. Where did you buy this synth? From whom?
Where are you situated?
When the unit is really defect and if you want to sell the unit, give me an E Mail: S_Carter (add) lycos (dot) de
