Phase Phun with the ASys rs160 CV Mixer


YouTube via bigcitymusic
"Using the Analogue Systems rs160 CV Mixer as a phase inverter you can get some really great sounds. You can turn a plain ol' low pass filter into a pseudo high pass and get some cool phaser stuff going. Here's how you do it...Mult your source. In this case we're using a sawtooth oscillator sequenced by the rs200 that is split into two identical signals with a multiple. One in, two out. Send one of your split signals directly to your mixer. We're using the two audio input VCA, the Analogue Systems rs180. Send the other audio to a low pass filter and then into a phase inverter of some type. We're using the rs160 CV Mixer's neqatve output, the master out fully counter-clockwise. As soon as the filtered version becomes inverted you can hear the bottom drop out. Cool! If you had an LFO to modulate the filter cutoff, voila, phasing sweetness. Phase cancellation can be cool sometimes huh? It's actually the basic principle upon which multimode filters are based."

Synthträff i Oslo

"Så här kan det se ut om man åker till Oslo för att kolla på synthesizers."
"So here it appears if one crop to Oslo for at Kolla that synthesizer."

"This unit is used to program some of Roland's classic '80s analog synthesizers, the JX-3P, MKS-30 and the GR-700."

SSM 2038 ICs

via this auction

"# Brand new, never used. Not pulls.
# One money buys all eight of these 16 pin DIP ICs.
# Used in many early analog synthesizers, e.g. Korg, Sequential Circuits, Siel, PPG, Oberheim, CMI Fairlight, Crumar, etc.
# List of which chips used in which synths at: synthtech
# Datasheet available at: maxmidi
# Even if not a direct replacement, circuit can usually be modified to accept these."

Update via Lord Avon in the comments: "You gotta love ebay. The PPG Wave's never used these SSMs, only the SSM 2044."

ARP AVATAR with Mods

images via this auction
" 1. MIDI by synhouse.com, (The CV inputs also work if you want to go full OLD-SCHOOL.)

2. FILTER UPGRADE
Avatar filters have a upper frequency limit of 11khz! This frequency response upgrade is similar to the 2600 filter upgrade extending the cutoff frequency range from 11khz to 28khz. Also replaces some critical components in the signal path. Your filter sub module is removed, tested, upgraded, re-tested and re-installed into main board "C".

3. AUDIO PATH UPGRADE
This mod replaces critical signal path components with audiophile grade components. Low end response is improved resulting in a more accurate wave shape. This mod used to be called the "Low end wave correction mod" in the early days of CMS. High end response is also Improved.

4. POWER SUPPLY REBUILD
Certain critical components in your power supply have a shelf / working life of 20 years maximum. It's probably time your power supply was rebuilt. These units are getting very old, so if you are serious about your ARP, you should get the Power Supply Rebuild.

5. PORTAMENTO ENABLE
Stock Avatars have their portamento circuits hardwired to the guitar section. This mod rewires the portamento so that it slews the keyboard cv input. (MIDI works too)

Please note: The guitar functions of the avatar have are disabled and/or removed. So, no pickup, guitar cord, or guitar board, is included with the synth. Why would you want that anyway! Avatars are prized for the synthesizer section, which is fully functional. Cosmetically, there are some corner dings, and some front panel scratches (partially repaired to prevent corrosion of the steel case). These are illustrated in the photos. However, the inside is clean, and all the sliders have been cleaned and re-greased. No slider caps are included, as is common for the avatar, but they are easy to find on ebay, or from CMS if you want a set."
