EMS VCS3 Clone by cormallen


via cormallen on Muff's

"After around ten months of sporadic effort, I've finally finished my VCS3 clone. It's as close to the original (with the usual mods) as I could make it - all NOS components, except for the reverb tank.

That said, I have added quite a lot of extra features, mostly because I used a Ghielmetti 20 x 20 matrix, and thus had extra rows and columns spare... I've added the following:

JH's adaptation of the Korg MS20 HADSR
A variation of the CGS utility LFO
An Oakley MIDI-DAC
Some stuff of my own design to buffer the oscillator and filter VC control lines and to integrate the MIDI bits."
