JP2: VCO and VCF connections

JP2 contains some VCO and VCF terminals.

Function

Explanation

Remark / Recommendation

VCO PW CV2

Control voltage input #2 for
rectangle pulsewidth

Range about 0…+5V, recommended for
PWM input (socket with attenuator)

VCO PW CV1

Control voltage input #1 for
rectangle pulsewidth

Range about 0…+5V, recommended for
PW manual control

VCO PW CV SUM Control voltage summing

input for rectangle
pulsewidth

Required only if the number of CV inputs
for pulsewidth has to be increased, serial
resistor 100k recommended for 0…+5V

VCO RECT

VCO rectangle output

about 5V level (+/- 2.5V), DC coupled

VCO CV1

Control voltage input #1 for
VCO frequency

Sensitivity: 1V/octave, e.g. for manual
frequency control

VCO CV SUM

Control voltage summing
input for VCO frequency

Required only if the number of frequency
CV inputs is not sufficient, serial resistor
100k required for 1V/octave

VCO CV3

Control voltage input #3 for
VCO frequency

Sensitivity: 1V/octave, e.g. for CV input
socket

VCO CV4

Control voltage input #4 for
VCO frequency

Sensitivity: 1V/octave, e.g. for CV input
socket

VCO CV2

Control voltage input #2 for
VCO frequency

Sensitivity: 1V/octave, e.g. for FM input
(socket with attenuator)

VCO SAW

VCO sawtooth output

about 6V level (+/- 3V), AC coupled

VCO SYNC

Hard Sync Input

Negative slope causes a sawtooth reset
(rectangle or sawtooth input required,
min. level 5V required)

2 x GND
VCF RES IN

VCF resonance connector

Has to be wired to the VCF Bandpass
output via attenuator (resonance control,
recommended value 50...100k linear)

VCF AUDIO IN

VCF audio input

Usually connected to one of the VCO
outputs via attenuator (for clipping/
distortion control), if both VCO
waveforms have to be mixed the VCF
AUDIO SUM has to be used (see JP7)

VCF BANDPASS

VCF bandpass Output

Usually connected to a socket labelled
"VCF Bandpass", also required for
resonance control (VCF RES IN)
