Old Crowe Yamaha CS80 VCO153

via the SDIY list:
"Hey folks, its been a while, but I have this thing in testing right now. This is an equivalent circuit to the IG00153. This differs from my MOTM-style modular 153 oscillator in that it is strictly the VCO IC with a ramp output, linear CV input, current bias input (FT) for octave select and exponential modulation (vibrato) input. It can use the original M-board FET and charge pump capacitor, or those can be
removed and local ones installed. I madethis mainly to see about replacing things at the chip level, but not relying on custom devices. It is 98% SMT parts, with only 3 parts left through-hole for the moment (mainly to swap things and see how the specs change). It no longer needs an input offset trimmer, or external frequency compensation of the input summing amp. The DIL-16 footprint in the middle of the board is used to install it into an actual IG00153 socket. Generally it is low-profile enough to fit between M boards (it does in my CS-50). It has internal temperature compensation of the charge switch and comparator, making it much more stable than the original device. The charge pump core circuit runs on its own internal 10V reference supply.

Eventually I want to craft the entire M-board from standard circuits. The waveshaper is done (it is the one I made for the 153 module). The EGs are done. The filters are done. I know how to buildthe VCA, thats next. In any case here is an image of the board, a bit larger than actual size. More later...

FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR SYNTH DEMO MINUET IN A MINOR

YouTube via redmartian
Update: I originally had the VIMEO version up, but it wouldn't play, so here's the YouTube one.

"This piece showed up as being by anonymous in Apollo's Banquet (1670) but is actually by Henry Purcell. A sounds/noises made by the MMM production model number one. The pictures are mostly taken from the 2007 PNW Synth DIY with the original MMM Pre-Production Prototype. Last photo is of Seattle at dusk on Saint Patrick's day."

Note this is demo number eight of the Mattson Mini Modular by Red Martian. I thought I'd put up demos one through seven for reference and a look back in time. Some of these originally went up as YouTube videos so the quality here is better. The following is in order starting with the first.

FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR 07A-0001 SYNTHESIZER from RED MARTIAN on Vimeo.

"Here is the first production model Mattson Mini Modular analogue synthesizer serial number 07A-0001.

All sounds in this recording were produced on the MMM using the production run modules.

The percussion sounds were sampled and arranged on an Akai MPC-1000. The bass line was sequenced in Logic and the saw leads were recorded as performed.

The bass and lead sounds are produced using three oscillators in tune with various setting differences. The Jim Patchell filter is run with both LP and BP outputs run into stereo VCAs.

The only effect used is reverb from a t.c. electronic M-One."
