What about 1~4ms triggers instead of pulses?

(I don’t have a Stasis Leak but it’s on my to-build list!)

Drew

Ok, beyond the aesthetic shame, is there anything wrong with using capacitors that are a bit too large (diameter) and touch each other on my Frequency Central power supply?
Drew

Yarns has another trick up its sleeve. If you set the note allocation to 4>, then the first 4 voices are 'despatched' by Yarns across its four cv and gate outs, and any more notes are sent via midi to whatever you want. So it delivers a combination of midi to cv/gate conversion for 4 voices, and th...

The "Yarns" module does this really well. I used it to make my "Oberheim Four Voice" out of four monosynths (Oakley ASV modules) and it works wonderfully. Using four *different* monosynths will be difficult if you want to make them sound all the same. It is really cool to make poly patches where eac...

I built my own:


Here's an in-depth demo of the single voice:


This thing is better than I expected. My favorite synth

Hopefully Dave has assisted you with the Clock questions. Everything I've done with "clocks" in my PSIM have been analogue gates. And I took a very simple approach to those: scan the dacs if the clock input jack has a high voltage, jump out of this loop if it's low, jump back to scan the dacs I'll d...

If one was to build an ADR30 as a "desktop" unit with the pots on the top and hand-wired back to the Main PCB, would those wires need special shielding?

If so, can anyone give me details that would help me find & purchase the correct type? (I'm a noob as far as special wires go)

thanks!
Andrew

More love for the Oakley ASV




Drew

Tony - Speaking of the ADR30... at one point you talked about part of the circuit that added a little “wobble” to the clock ( or something similar) in order to give it some more vintage character. Is it possible to add a switch that would take out this part of the circuit and make the delay be as “p...

(used to have Xpander, Prophet 5, Microwave XT, Microwave I) Now I have a Juno-6, a Yamaha SK-30 and an Ambika. Just finished building (and easily my favorite poly-synth), my Oakleyheim Four Voice :goo: oakleyheim.jpg Made of Oakley ASV voices. Perfect SEM filter. Sounds friggin' awesome. Drew

Can someone post more info about which capacitor we are talking about here? I've recently built an "Oakleyheim" Four Voice out of Oakley ASV modules. The VCF is a wonderful sounding SEM filter, and after reading some of the comments here I'd like to swap out the cap in one of the voices to see how i...

Yes indeed!

Not only excellent support, but excellent PCBs. My favorite to work on. And great documentation. And superb sounding!

Drew

They are Davies 1900 clones. Modular Addict, SynthCube and Small Bear have them. I used Dark Grey for the LFO Freq and the 3 LFO mod amounts I used Light Grey for the ADSR #1 pots and the 3 ADSR #1 mod amounts The rest are Black, except for the VCO2 fine tune and the VCF Freq. Those were for a 1/8" ...

Made a few demos. Recorded live (no overdubs but I chopped out all the time I took changing all the knobs!) with a bit of echo, but no other effects at all. (the filter can certainly create the impression that there's a phaser or flanger involved). Voices are panned. Headphones recommended! This one...

My Oakleyheim Four Voice is making awesome sounds
Just need to add the stereo mixer and master VCF control on he left side.
Drew

Thanks Kindredlost! I left out the patch points for two reasons: 1) This was designed for polyphonic playing, not as part of my modular. I just didn't see myself using them; it's enough to have to make every knob adjustment *four* times! Adding 4x patch cables would just be too much. 2) Cost. Eighty...

I second the recommendation for Yarns: Four voices of CV & Gate Several modes (Mono/Poly) and things like four different MIDI channels running the four mono parts MIDI pitch bend is injected into the CV (and you can set the range in half-steps) MIDI mod wheel engages an on-board LFO and is injected...

One voice: The whole deal: It sounds fooking incredible... I get lost for hours playing with it

I've been wanting an Oberheim Four Voice ever since I was in high school (1980) and when I first saw the ASV, I knew what was going to happen :-) My music budget is very limited, so I had to sell my TR-808 to fund this project. Now that I've spent some time playing my "dinosaur", I have no doubt tha...

I have just finished my DIY Four Voice with four Oakley ASV voices (very much like a SEM, the filter being exact!) and I friggin' love this monster.
So with $3k I would get all the parts to build an Eight Voice (with ASVs) and an integrated MIDIBox Sequencer.

Drew

I am just finishing my Poly Oakley - actually I call it the Oakleyheim Four Voice.

Four ASVs and a Yarns. It is sounding awesome. My dream (since high school in 1980) of having a 4VS is coming to fruition :-)

Drew

If you need a good "drum machine without sounds", build yourself a MIDIBox. I put 4 MIDI outs on mine, plus 8 triggers (you can have up to 64), as well as 8 voices of CV/Gate. You'll have yourself a fabulous drum programmer using just one of the 16 tracks. It's very much like the TR-606 programmer i...
