Tuning a VCO with a Scalable VC Input - Patch of The Week
Published on Sep 13, 2014 Doug Lynner
"You don't need 1v/oct inputs if you know how to set the range of a scalable VC input. Tracking additional VCOs is just as easy too.
Though this is illustrated on a Serge the concepts apply to many modular synthesizers. Let me know how you apply this on your modular synthesizer.
To see the modules used in this patch in detail see the Mystery Serge at http://www.serge.synth.net/gallery/dl....

You can even use it as an effects processor and route external sounds through it. It's got its own unique sound no other synth manufacturer has captured. Here are its features (modules appear in bold):
Power Supply module

"Waveshaping Synthesis is a type of distortion synthesis that can create dynamic spectra in a controlled way. In waveshaping, it is possible to change the spectrum with the amplitude of the sound. A simple example of this method is the clipping caused by overdriving an audio amplifier."

SN 503364 via this auction
"For sale is a very rare vintage MINIKORG 700S Analogue synth from 1975 in excellent condition. A brilliant compact and versatile keyboard, the MINIKORG was made in Japan and is built to an exceptionally high quality. It produces fantastic innovative sounds and features quality controls and is simply one of the very best analogue synths ever. This particular synth is very rare aluminium. Used by many top acts, including, The Cure, Human League, N-Trance, Vangelis, Stevie Wonder, The Cars and Paul Hardcastle. This particular synth has been used by BOOTSY COLLINS and Bernie Worrell of Parliament and FUNKADELIC and delivered great results during studio sessions with myself.
There is some wear and tear to the chassis. Some knobs and buttons require cleaning. With a little TLC attention and service, the MINIKORG will continue to deliver great sound and performance The SYNTH is being sold as the studio is now closed and I'm having to reduce my vintage stock. Please note, it's a heavy item and is currently in storage in Edinburgh Scotland. This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a brilliant and quality vintage synth with genuine history and pedigree at a great price."

Roland SH-2 Vintage Analog Synthesizer

"The SH-2 is one of Rolands' early synthesizers. It is very simple in design, look and function. It sounds much like the SH-101 synth, including the typical SH-style sub-oscillator. But the SH-2 employed 2 oscillators for a much fatter sound. It has the typical Roland SH sound - it's a monophonic bass synth that's flexible enough to provoke punchy analog basses, leads and squelchy sounds. The oscillators can be de-tuned as well, another feature the popular SH-101 lacks."

"This is a later model with the membrane keyboard, not the J-wire. The keyboard is only partially working, only 23 keys are triggering. It's also missing one rubber foot on the bottom (can be found at a hardware store for cheap). Otherwise it's in excellent shape & fully functional. All knobs & switches work & are scratch free. Sounds awesome like a Pro One should!"
