i just stumbled over the AM8164 Module - Dual Linear/Expo VCA ... seems to be an old frac rack project? will there be a eurorack version or DIY kit? that would be great... i'm still looking for a good vca...

Oooh. I might have to get mine modded.polyroy wrote:My SH3-a interfaced so nicely with the modular as it's modded for cv/gate in/out. Shame it's busted, need to get it repaired :(gorka wrote:+1Mitchk1989 wrote:I'd love to see your take on an oscillator module actually.
The SH-3 additive oscillator would be amazing.

The Arp multimode is real nice.
Gonna work on a 2500 soon.

Is this the Arp Odyssey filter? How does it comparenegativspace wrote:You're going to love the 8023, it's nasty and screamy and amazing.
to a Wasp or polivoks? I have and love both of these filters for
their "nasty and screamy" sound. If the 8023 is along these lines
I might need to look into picking one up...

The AM8023 = Arp 4023, the 2-pole LPF from the MK1 Odyssey. I happen to have a Wasp and a Polivoks in my rack right next to it, and it's a different kind of screamy. It's not unpredictable and nonlinear like those two, and it's not all about those 'sweet spots' - but it overdrives well and with resonance near the self-osc threshold it really does scream. It can sound very smooth too, just back the input volume off a bit.
I'll have to record a demo, a clip is worth a thousand words...

Thanks for the info. It seems as if this is right up my alley. I looked on the AMSynths site and didn't find a demo, so anything you could post would be very much appreciated.negativspace wrote:The AM8023 = Arp 4023, the 2-pole LPF from the MK1 Odyssey.

I'm also looking at the AM clones of the Odyssey Mk I and Mk II filters.
Did you build your AM8023 with a Tempco resistor, Negative Space?
Does it track 1V/Oct well? I imagine the Course and Fine frequency controls help.
I'd like to use mine as a sine oscillator as well as a filter, a la Axxe, Odyssey and Roland SH-09.
Any demos you have of the AM8023 would be great please!
The only analogue synth I have at the moment is an Oberheim SEM (patch-panel) though, so I wonder if there's too much common ground between the AM8023 and the SEM filter.
Interestingly, I'm sure I read somewhere that someone from ARP helped design the SEM filter, correct me if I'm wrong!
