via brian comnes:"OK so I got this PAIA kit 4 years ago - started it and then moved to Chicago where I did nothing on a bench for 3 years - now that I'm back on West Coast and have a workbench again I finished the job. This is a PAIA 9710 VCA/Mixer done up in a yellow box with 1/4in jacks. I built it so my Metasonix TM-3 VCO could have an envelope and VCA controller and thus be useful beyond just droning on.
Anyway there are 3 shots, open, closed and on the bench with the TM-3 , a Moog Freqbox, and a JKJ MIDI/CV controller. I find the TM-3 works great when it's FM'd by the Freqbox, it makes for a rather meaty sound that can be controlled by Volts/Oct setting from the JKJ. I can wire the TM-3 directly but have to switch to Hz/volt but the TM-3 is not very temperature stable, i.e pitch/tuning changes noticeably the longer you leave it on. That's no biggie but you can see why an R-60 controller has value in a Metasonix set up.I hope to have some Soundcloud samples in a week or so, I'm still learning to play the TM-3 with a ribbon contoller - sort of the Trautonium from hell.
Peace
Brian"
