about the CV in
by chikilicuatre (unregistered) Jul 15 2008

Can I connect to de CV in of a module, the sound output (phones) from a keyboard?? I have a keyboard with MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports but a dont have a MIDI to CV converter.
Is possible to connect an audio source to de CV in??
I hope that you can help me !!

You should be able to… I have no idea what it’ll do :) Travis?

My only advice would be to turn off the LFO, as this could fight with the output driver of your audio source.

Actually, in most cases this won’t do anything. The only time you can get some interesting results is if you have your input audio signal really loud (so the voltage gets things going). I wouldn’t necessarily reccomend this, as It might damage either your keyboard or the VoS (though probably not). That said, you can get it to do some weird things.

I connected a WSG (second generation, with filter & all those switches) to the CV-in of my spinoff, it is definitely interesting, even the filter has an effect.

the joys of unbuffered inputs!

the next version of the Voice of Saturn synth (months off) will have some better voltage control. and the upcoming module, will include a vca that can take audio input for amplitude modulation (weeks off).*

Just from my quick look, I don’t see anytying about this:

the next version of the Voice of Saturn synth (months off) will have some better voltage control. and the upcoming module, will include a vca that can take audio input for amplitude modulation (weeks off).*

any updates on it (specifically for the audio input for amp. modulation)?
Thanks!

Hey Ian,

as for the next Vos Synth, its going to be several months, other projects are in the pipe.

The VoS ~Modulator kind of addresses the second part there. Its been out in the wild for a month or two now, and includes a VCA, and LFO with triangle and square wave outputs, as well as an AR Generator utility module.

Now, as for doing amplitude modulation with it. The second CV input for the ~Modulator is best suited for accepting audio signals….the louder the better, for interesting AM (sounds kinda like a ring modulator). Also, the LFO is capable of audio rates, so using that as a cv source, you get really decent AM effects, and the LFO range can be modified by switching out timing capacitors/resistors.

See the kit page for more info
