Yes, connect to the junction where R14 joins the Emitters of Q6.
Could also try decoupling the input signal with a capacitor first too. AC/DC Lin FM.

I'd maybe connect a pot as a variable resistor in series with the 8.2K.
Though a variable potential divider might work too, I just have a feeling that the Lin FM input should be 'floating' like the Var. CV input on the VCO.

Very interested to hear how you get on with it!
Hope it works well!

Did you have any joy with the Lin FM mod?

Just received two of my big orders. One from David himself and the other from FPE. David is really professional and it's a pleasure to deal with. First time i receive something from FPE too but it blew my mind how the front panel are quality made. Really happy for the moment !

Wil post some ugly pics tomorrow just for fun.

Edit : here they are

Any first hand experiences on the Triple EG?

How does it compare to function generators such as the Buchla 281?

Thanks!

I've still some 281 in the pipeline and have finished one 281 which is a blast. At least for the kind of stuff I do.

However, the Triple EG seems to add some really unique features which would blend nicely with my system. ATM I must resist but guess I'll end up with one Triple EG.

Nice work, David! Thanks for making it available.

I wonder if there would be any interest in a group buy of MPC euro panels for the synthasystem? Right now my panels are etched but I wouldn't mind some professional panels if there was enough interest to make it feasible.

They would be the standard euro-silver (aluminum) color with black print. This is also how the earlier synthasystems looked.

Sounds like a good idea!

I'll post photos of my panels soon.
I used David's FPD files and had them machined by thebeast.co.uk on natural aluminium with black in-fill.
They look very handsome!

I have an alternative VCO A panel that I made using David's as my starting point.
It's much more like the early, silver Synthasystems.
I'll check with David, but I'm sure he won't mind me posting it.

I really do love the VCO, David has it right that Nyle outdid himself with that design. Next to my Z3000 it's the one I go to most often and it never disappoints me. It tracks very well (even without the hi-freq tracking PCB, which I received after the fact and have not installed) and it always manages to sound alive no matter the waveform I use. The sawtooth cuts like a knife. I think I'll leave this one in my general Euro racks even when I pull the trigger on the standalone 9U I'm planning.

(I sent my case pattern off to my woodworker buddy a short while back so the wheels are finally turning... we bought some nice curly maple for it - exciting times!)

very attenuated hihi

It’s hard to tell at that level. I need to finish adjusting trimmers and then get back to it. I might just try it without a resistor at all and work back from there.

I have some questions about the VCO-A. I'm looking for a solid DIY VCO for subtractive synthesis and I think this one will fit the bill. But, I want to slim down the panel or perhaps fit 2 or 3 behind a panel the same size as the traditional panel. Would I be missing out on any of the core features or patching potential if I did the following:
1) One output jack per waveform
2) Removed the waveform output attenuators
3) Reduced the number of CV inputs to one jack

I'm also curious about the Selective Inverter. That sounds like it could be fun to play with.
