Let's Get Fenestrated

"Triple window comparator, each section has different features.
https://www.nonlinearcircuits.com/mod..."



"This module contains three individual window comparator circuits. They all work slightly differently from each other and somewhat differently from regular window comparators.

These are particularly useful circuits to create gate/timed events from chaos signals, or any other CV signal. It can also be used for pulse width modulation at audio rates, lots of good sounds to be found.

The rather grandiose names for each comparator came from a paper - Some Special-Purpose Comparator Circuits by H.K Verma. The actual circuits are different but two are inspired by the ones presented in the paper.

1. Special Comparison Instant – this is probably the most normal window comparator of the three. The pots can be used to set the high and low voltages between which the output gate will be high. You can also patch in CV signals to alter the high and low settings.

2. Comp for Concurrent Magnitudes – this will output a gate when the signal on Input 1 is compared against the setting of the SET/In2 pot. If no signal is on In 2 then the pot sets a fixed voltage, otherwise the signal on In 1 is compared with the amplitude of the signal on In 2, which can be attenuated by the pot as desired.

The extra feature of this circuit is the Level pot can set the gate level (up to 10V!) or you can patch a signal into the LEVEL input and create envelopes or bursts rather than gates.

3. Comp for Restricted Openings – this one has a pot (WIDTH) or CV control to set and change the gate width. In1 and In2 are summed together and compared with the level chosen with the SET pot.

Building is fairly simple, just be mindful to bend the LEDs slightly upwards to shine thru the windows from the bottom. It is good to use super-bright LEDs in this module as they have to shine thru the PCB panel."

Roland JX-3P versus System 8 JX-3P Plug-out Updated 2024


video upload by MIDERA

"So, I previously made a video of the JX-3P v S8 plug out JX-3P a few years ago [posted here]. I had noticed how much darker the JX3P Plug out sounded and how PWM was awful. Roland updated the JX-3P plug out (in 2022 or 2023? I don't know) and it fixed a lot of these issues. I noticed a few minor differences, but I'll be honest, they felt nit-picky. I think they almost completely nailed the sound. Filter differences seemed the biggest.

Listening again - I think I used the wrong note to compare filter differences, sigh... I can just never get these comparisons spot on. Ah well.

I try to go over some other features as well, but don't expect some amazing comparison here, because you won't find it."

"The Erebus 3 is an analogue synthesizer with duophonic capabilities that’s packed with three oscillators with auto-tuning, a triple ring modulation section, a modulation section with LFO and ADSR envelope generator, as well as a 12dB resonating multimode filter.

With the onboard 35 point patch bay, music makers will find the flexibility of being able to integrate their Erebus 3 with other modular systems – in addition to routing internal modules. Other features include an analogue clock generator, patchable sample and hold, as well as a built-in lo-fi echo."

"This MOOG Source has some minor dents/scratches, but just got a complete service checkup from a qualified technician (paperwork included) that all of its internal/external components and key contacts work perfectly. Built like a tank, plays perfectly and screams analog leads & baselines out as well as experimental sound fx galore."
