im trying to get a CEM3340 chip but i cant find them for under 50$ so its become a bit less affordable lol.. the super simple oscillator still is a dirt cheap build
you probably dont care but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
his band in which he plays guitar would have seemed 100% normal in the eighties. I often wonder what his parents look like or listen to. maybe they listened to 60's music in the eighties and then he was born in the 90s, so there's like a lag. or it's a cyclical thing and all styles are bound to come back which is why I'm being subjected to the eighties for the second time (although this guy is totally amazing and funny). there are so many retro bands now. so you can imagine a musical universe that supports all periods simultaneously. but in just a few more decades, assuming one style per decade, it's pretty far out.
Wait, You mean I can build my own modular synthesizer in my house? What kind of wizard are you, and where have you been through all my life? Seriously, there are no words that would express how happy and grateful I am right now! Thank you very much for that, instant sub from new declared fan and disciple!
Collin Furze of synthisizers ... I didn't knew there was an osc. chip that could do 1V/oct. Some analog noisemakers don't care about 1V/oct. others used complicated exponential coverters to get it.
This is amazing. Even years after the release of the video still one of the easiest (if not the easiest) of functional DIY VCO I have seen. I am absolutely going to try and build it.
Just started a DIY Eurorack series on my channel. I'm HIGHLY inspired by you to do this. Mine's using kits, though. I'm hoping it'll be a good place for people to get started. I love what you're doing here, man. Seriously one of my favorite RUclips channels of all time.
Dude you are the best and my favorite circuit bender that I’ve seen... you are hilarious and remind me of so many of my friends... you are always welcome to stay with me or my community if you ever come to Austin Texas.
Man I've watched alot of your videos in my life and I didn't know you did these lessons. Here I am at 30 with 20 years of music experience wanting to make my own pedals and devices. Thank you for making this!
Thanks alot for these tutorials, there aren't many people on youtube that explain it in a way, that most people can understand. I was wondering if you will make some videos where you explain/show the complicated methods of making VCO's, filters etc.
Just built one using the as3340. I get this weird thing where when I plugin in my beatstep pro it plays super high pitch and I cant tune it for shit. did you happen to run into anything like that? Banging my head about where I might have gone wrong.
i tried to build it with the as3340 too but i couldn't get it working... i checked, rechecked and rerechecked a thousand times the schematic and i haven't found any mistake, i also checked my components , they're good.... I'm missing something and it drives me crazy hah does anyone have tips or common mistakes not to duplicate ? (i'm a beginner if it wasn't clear enough) thxxxx
@@gillestinguely same thing for me ... I've built three of them and also onr digital to analog sequencer and the cv is totaly out of reference with the tuning ....and the scales are like in reverse ( the higher note shown on the display of the seq the lower note generated by the oscillator) suppose to be exponential but ... welll ... i don't know ....
MODS: ok so i put another 100k pot in series with the tuner pot, and now i can tune a much wider range; whereas I was able to find middle C and tune to that now. :D, i got the tuning pretty tight now, i can span more than a few octaves and remain in tune :D so pumped I used a BOSS TU-3 on chromatic using middle c and checking in the DAW with another voice layered over top. cheers
Looks like I'll be building at least 10 of these, thanks man. Guy looks around the internet for a year trying to find an easy 1v/Oct schematic for Euro rack. Only because he forgot you were awesome. Sync would be cool though . I can picture ten synced up with a little detune😉
yep like i said in the vid, i will be adding addons to this circuit, this is the core of the module, ill be including optional addons. square wave out + PWM in will be one of the add ons, only requiring another TL072, 10k resistor and a couple of jack sockets. i still need to finnesse, but you can definitely work it out if you look at the CEM3340 datasheet :)
The add on is pretty simple, a comparator on the triangle out (saw might work too?) and the width is chosen by changing the voltage it's being compared to
its even easier, check the CEM3340 datasheet, it already has square wave out, i just figured it would be a simple addone with 1 tl072 for input and output
yeah totally. would be an option later on. this just seemed easy for now, but yes. totally. when i do the square-wave one ill plop a tl074 stripboard layout in too
Hatagashira exactly! I've been saying this for years! Well...figuratively. I comment this few month ago because it's so obvious! Some kind od weird colab would be awesome!
Love the Channel man can't wait to give my own modular synth a shot . Been wanting to give it a go for a while, this is EXACTLY what I needed to get me to give it a go!!!
I built one !!!, mines just got some things to work out with the PWM controls not controlling very much ...yet...lol. might be a bad pot, they were pretty affordable ones. Also I built the FC power-bus as well, that went without a hitch and the sequencer is almost done as well. Keep em coming Sam!!!! were building them... ..And thank you so much for these projects! changed my life. proper procrastinator now :)
Thanks Sam, genius, I finally finnished my TD-616, (Twonk Drone-616 the number of the beast from the original Hebrew scriptures) using 18 of your super simple oscillators, the filters are a bit weedy, but I'll be watching your vids and upgrading them ASAP. When I get a vid of it on youtube I'll share the link. I've never built anything like this before and I wouldn't of tried if it wasn't for your inspiring and easy to follow destructional video's, keep up the good work.
There's approximately one word to sum this all up: brilliant! I am going for 1V/octave because there might be three parts (MIDI-CV-MIDI, analog sequencer and the synth part obviously), keeping it standard. Always say "never", I'm not going modular, I just want an analogue mono synth with as low expense as possible.
Man you are my hero! I was looking info to build my own 8 oscillators Swarmatron and...found your channel. Yhis is the best possible begining ! Than you so much for so invaluable info
ta-daaAAHH. made it! i now have one of the above! after hours of faffing about with it not working i tried a new op amp, worked right away. i am delighted! at a bit of a loss now as i own nothing that make 1v/oct signals for it. so i am off to make a resistor ladder push button keyboard........
I was looking up colpitts oscillators and your video caught my eye. You give a crazy vibe, and that made me watch your whole video 😆👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 Awesome, you really spent the time making this stuff, tape as you do, and explained too! that’s a lot of talent there👌🏼
Lovely indeed! Sam, thank you for essential basics. Lol, i can’t even buy stripboard in my country, now i need to decide what i like less - pcb design and etching or making stripboard out of common board.
Nice one for posting this one Sam educational and fun to watch my man 👊👊. POW !!!!. Love the drill bit tip its cheaper than the supposed proper which pretty much does the same thing .
Also there are clone of CEM as said at LMNC site and it actually costs 2-3 times cheaper, cool! (but shipment to my freaking-fucking contry will be expensive, sad)
awesome work!!!, but i have a question. the jack have 5. Which of all goes to the pin that comes out of the schematic? Thank you very much and excuse my ignorance
12 notes in an octave???? divide by 12??? maybe its 11!!! aaah i dont know i dont do mathsoooooopsssssssssssssssss but yeah! check out my page on my site on this! lots more info. Plus whomever sent me the sticker that said saturdays are for the boy! i may have to modify! to Boys and girlzz. but it will get stuck on. Synths for everyoneeeeee. ANY REQUESTS FOR ADDONS TO THIS CIRCUIT??? AS I AM WORKING ON THEM THIS MONTH????
Man, now if you could get a MIDI to CV conversion going, and did everything else in this series, you'd easily have a homebuilt synth cheaper than the ones in stores cost
Hey dude.... you are GRREATT ...... a little (well actually a lot) more crazy than me ..... but both of us are doing ELECTRONICS and SYNTHS so I gave you a shout-out on my channel and made yours a FEATURED CHANNEL (even though I am peanuts compared to you) ....... keep up the great vids and I am you fan 🙂
If you want to tune this thing i less than 3min without any skill required and have a midi to CV interface and a computer, you can use my VCOTuner application here: github.com/TheSlowGrowth/VCOTuner It's basically a little game: Connect it up, then turn thr trimmer until the line of your computer screen is as flat as possible
I've been waiting so long for a series like this. No knowledge on electronics whatsoever, but with videos like this I'm willing to try. Got yourself another patreon! What tier gets the additional information of the extra features?
Great video. Like the rest of your video's. Is there a way to play the module using a regular midi synth? Would you be so kind to make a video creating midi to cv module? that would be awesome mate.
bit of an update. my first attempt was thwarted by needing 072 op amps(of which i have none). i planned to use 2 741(of which i have plenty), but it seemed daft, so i ordered 072. postie just bought them so im off to try again........

You're the only guy I've found who describes building a module like an announcer talks about a sports game.
This is like an alternate reality where Johnny Rotten got into analog synthesizers instead of punk rock
You mean like on Rottens work with PIL? Or his solo album?
Simon Gunkel I meant it more like that he resembles rotten
his band in which he plays guitar would have seemed 100% normal in the eighties. I often wonder what his parents look like or listen to. maybe they listened to 60's music in the eighties and then he was born in the 90s, so there's like a lag. or it's a cyclical thing and all styles are bound to come back which is why I'm being subjected to the eighties for the second time (although this guy is totally amazing and funny). there are so many retro bands now. so you can imagine a musical universe that supports all periods simultaneously. but in just a few more decades, assuming one style per decade, it's pretty far out.

This is MASSIVELY exciting! I am loving this series!!!
It sounds so clean and crisp
Oh my gosh, this is thrilling!!!! Can’t afford those vintage synths, but now I can try to get that sound out of my DIY synth!!!
If only I had 100th of your enthusiasm.
Youre an inspiration.
I don’t know what any of this is but watching your videos is so interesting!

Best channel on RUclips.
Been looking for a video like this for weeks. You've got to be one of the best guys on RUclips. Any way to get a square wave?

yeah totally. would be an option later on. this just seemed easy for now, but yes. totally. when i do the square-wave one ill plop a tl074 stripboard layout in too

I would love to learn from you dude. I mean great would be an understatement to describe how awesome a teacher you would be. 😁

google "electric druid"
electricdruid.net/product-category/oscillators/
Now there's also one in eBay with the AS3340. Slightly cheaper than Electric Druid
You can also get them form the Erica Synths website
Yeap. Found it as well. I think it was even more expensive there.

Which patreon pack should I get if I want the circuit layouts and other material for building purposes?
The part on the Stripboard layout where it says "connect to ground of jack sockets". What do i do, do i connect that wire to all of the jack sockets?
