Muff's Modules & More

wow these two were meant for each other... taking four differently-phased sines from the mankato into the AFG's four 'waveform animation' CV inputs....

using the big knob on the mankato to molest the afg... WOW love

i'll post a plucky clip i'm recording now in the 'your tunes here' subforum a bit later

my pleasure - and i mean it

thank YOU for making it!

i'm pretty much addicted to the thing now, it's coming in as a modulation source (and hardly ever a filter even though it sounds great) in pretty much every patch i make these days. really nice. throw a little attenuated lfo into the control input and those phased sines start dancing around a bit....modulo magic 8)

i've been itching to build a mankato or two smile

I just finished mine and Wow!

It totally kicks ass in all regards. In fact, I'm starting to wish I built 2; one as a 4 phase VCO and the other as a 4 phase filter instead of a single 8 phase everything.

verrry nice indeed

I had been imagining that patch when I first got my AFG (with my imaginary Mankato) – mostly use my Doepfer Quad AD to modulate the AFG – but it takes some fiddling to get the modulation sounding smooth. The fact that the Mankato goes from sub to super audio range would def help with this I would think.

Well, its still on the list. Now I just need to have some money again!! Totally skint atm!!

Cheers for posting.

so when is the next run of AFGs suposed to be? angry

Ill buy 2, then sell off my old oscs.... maybe d'oh!

doubtful....

ill buy one smile

I'm curious now, just how low in frequency can the Mankato go before it stops self-oscillating?

In other words, using it as an LFO, what's (roughly) the low end of the range?

Muff Wiggler · Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:10 pm Post subject:

i dunno, but really, really slow.

just did a tiny unscientific test, i have it running about 1 cycle per minute right now

and it'll go lower.

suitandtieguy · Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 2:34 pm Post subject:

the low range of the stg/mank is measured in minutes per cycle. I got too bored to count actually.

tip: if you build one just jumper over the regen trim. there is no need to calibrate, as having a perfect sine at the six db output is less important than full range in self resonance.

also I really think all 8 outs are necessary because part of this thing's power is being able to patch external feedback loops, and the neg outs are pretty handy for that.

oh sweet baby jesus we're not worthy

That's it, I'm sold.

I have a very short list of modules that I'm permanently reserving space for and the Mankato just made that list.

Enough already! This has to be my next module, gah...
