How can I couple the 960 sequencer to a Crave semi-modular? So far I haven't been able to make this work.
@geoelectroАй бұрын
I’m not familiar with the Crave. I see it has a Osc CV in. That would connect to the output of the 960. The clock out of the 960 would go to the envelope gate on the Crave. Assuming the voltage levels are compatible it should work.

It’s easy to imagine purchasing and playing one of these in the late 70s if I were around back then. It would’ve likely been perfectly suited for stacking (something like) an OBXa on top of it if I were still playing it in 1981. I obsess constantly about keyboards with stackable chassis, having owned and parted with a Wurlitzer 200A, a Rhodes Suitcase, a pair of Baldwin electric spinets, a Yamaha CP70 and a Hammond E organ (that my mentor refused to let me mount another keyboard or synthesizer over top of).

I own the same model for a few years. You can get them very cheap here in Germany, mostly in really good condition. This organs were made as home instruments, they were much more affordable than home pinanos back in the days. In 2020 I did a little overhaul on the Philicorda, the spring reverb was dead (had a shorted transistor) and some registers did not working (some traces on the circuit board near the switches were broken). But that was it. I also added a switched 1/4" stereo jack into the signal path, so I can plug in an effect pedal and use it with the build in speakers. Sounds very cool with the Neo Ventilator II Leslie emulation. It's a neat little and very reliable instrument with a surprisingly good sound. 😊

You've done your homework..... can't beat the Ventilator. Yamaha has made some strides with better Modeled rotary effects with YC series and new Montage M boards, but you'd have to re-invest into the new iron for that. Instead, it's no doubt more affordable to go Ventilator or Ventilator II instead of replacing your investments for a the sake of the best Leslie organ effect. Great choice.

Nice patch. The Yusynth Quadrature LFO would be another tool for driving the VCA's too. This idea was my first DIY module I built in the 1980's for my PAiA modular. It had a SVF but of course wasn't anywhere as nice sounding as the Q107. Fun stuff. Yes, the OB6 filter is a great one because of the ability to use the matrix to morph that beautiful filter.
@ilikethechaos.70323 ай бұрын
Or the STG Mankato Filter self oscillating and used as a LFO. I have used the quadrature outputs into a vc mixer to do something similar, but if I remember right, it was wavefolders and waveshapers I was morphing between at the time. I like the envelope idea a little better for some things as I remember wishing the Mankato had sync so it would restart in time with other aspects of the patch.
@midiwall3 ай бұрын
As you work with crossfading, watch out for the phase relationship between the outputs from a single split source. You can easily get into a spot where you're getting more NULLing than mixing. Sometimes this can be good (it's a fun way to create a notch filter!) but many times it'll drive you nuts trying to figure out where your bass went. This is why @ilikethechaos.7032 has solid success with waveshapers, the off-phase relationship of a pile of inputs is a feature!
@Bata99993 ай бұрын
I had a similar idea for emulating a state variable filter using a voltage controlled crossfader on the high and low filter out. This is how some oscillators with variable shape blend between waveforms. Problem is I don't know of a voltage controlled cross fader in 5U (haven't really looked).
@geoelectro3 ай бұрын
I believe the DotCom VCA2++ can do it. Yes, just tested it. It works because each VCA in this module has invertable attenuators. While one is getting louder, the other is getting softer. It's setup so one CV goes to both VCA's unless you run two CV's so they can operate separately. It can do panning and Ring Modulation as well.

Hi George, I just got a Philicorda GM752 from Europe and it was damaged in shipping. The 5 Din center plug on the bottom for output/headphone? was pushed in. One key is raised but still springy. The front panel looks like it pushed forward and buckled a little so I know the keyboard shifted around in transit. I switched the power from 220v to 110v on the bottom and powered it up. Pilot light came on but no sound with any combination of switches Zero noise. Bummer. Waiting to hear back about the insurance. The inside looks very clean. Did not see any concerns with the naked eye. I'm curious what a general repair guess-timate would be on this organ. I would like to fix it, maybe as a project myself or if there is someone who could repair it I'm all ears. It's too cute to just let it go to waste. Since you JUST worked on one I'm feeling hopeful that I can get this working again. Goes nicely with my other Dutch keyboard the Solina.

Its like an erector set for musicians! I love your set up, looks to be closer in scale to the original Moog and love the wood cabinets! After I get some time under my belt an decide what modules I like where, I plan to get a similar cabinet. There is a guy on Etsy that makes cabinets like the original Moog that are meant for the smaller scale System 55. Anyway thanks for posting all this great content!
Thanks so much! I love the building process.
