Vermona Perfourmer Mk2 Tutorial - All Knobs and Functions Explained

video upload by Jannis Le Wolff

"This video tutorial will be all about the Vermona Perfourmer Mk2, since I'll try to explain every individual knob, function and setting to you.

The Perfourmer is really about exploration though. I try to give you the technical explanations of what setting effects what, but within those possibilities you can keep exploring and finding sounds for a very long time!

01-Can you recognize a Minimoog?

"People don't seem to realize how recognizable a Minimoog is."

Test starts at 4:50. See Marc Doty's first Minimoog demos posted back in 2006 here, and a follow-up in 2009 here, hi-quality in 2010 here, or click here and scroll down to to the bottom of the page and move up for more.

02- Did you recognize the Minimoog? THE SOLUTION

"Had both setup for some comparison videos and thought I'd have some fun playing them together for a bit."

"A quick test of the lfo section. It works well with slide notes."

Kijimi VCA RC Filter Demo

video upload by Sonic Sand Castles

"This is an A/B test of an RC filter PCB I made to filter out unwanted amp envelope artifact/aliasing noise on the Kijimi voice cards due to low-res DAC amp envelope outputs going into the VCA CV inputs, compared against the default AS3360 DIP ICs.

The PCBs I made just put an RC filter in front of the VCA CV inputs of AS3360D (SMT version) ICs.

The RC filter values are:
- 1k ohm resistor
- 0.47uF capacitor

This was just a quick reversible solution I put together, no direct soldering required on the voice cards or main board.

The first section demonstrates the unwanted aliasing using the default DIP ICs compared to the adapter PCB which filters it out.

The second section demonstrates how the adapter board reduces the strength of the envelope (which is a drawback, but I prefer that over the artifact noise)."
