Heavily Modded Deep Bass Nine

Published on Jan 26, 2019 Stereoping

"Demo for my Analogue Solutions Deep Bass Nine (DB9) with many useful mods, drums from Pearl SC-40. It's still not a 303, no. But it's much more useful now.

While the DB9 got a nice CEM3340 oscillator (like Roland's SH-101) there are some 'features' of the DB9 which i did not really love. I made lots of changes to lift it on a more useful level. Some mods are simple like replacing resistors with pots (glidetime, keytracking) or changing values (cutoff range, modwheel range on cutoff). Others need some additional electronic parts (PWM, Octave-switches). The most elaborate was to 'repair' the glide. It is normally engaged by CC#65 and not(!) by legato played notes. I had to add a 2nd midi interface to fix this - for the benefit of an additional feature: permanently activating or 'muting' glide and accent by midi notes sent on another midichannel. The video shows most of the mods. I also offer an article on my website with schmatics and additional infos on all the mods i made on the DB9:

"The Pulse has V. C. O.'s . Voltage controlled Oscillators , pure analog !

Wolfram Franke at Waldorf says:
the three waveforms are made differently, and only have one thing in common -- they aren't processed by a D/A converter. The oscillators are not digital, but analogue. The pulse waveform is controlled digitally; the clock stipulates when the pulse waveform has to be at its maximum or minimum point. If you use pulse width modulation or cross modulation, this is also generated by the clock itself. The clock has only a 0 and 1 position, so the Pulse's cross modulation is mathematically identical with ring modulation. The sawtooth waveform is voltage-controlled; the voltage is generated from the D/A-converted clock signal, with additional parts creating the ramp. The triangular waveform is the most complex one; it's a combination between the sawtooth waveform and additional parts that process the down-ramp.

The PULSE sounds different because it is newly engineered for MIDI control of everything, pre-NRPN. It is far more stable than 70's analogs.
Yet with correct programming this thing can sound HUGER THAN A MINIMOOG when you use the LFO's and MOD properly. The Pulse's VCOs are THICK."
