The
first stage is to set the internal power
supply anf reference drive current
- Remove the jumper
on JP100
- If
not already done, remove R102 and R103
- Adjust
P301 for -9.0V at TP1
-
Adjust P302 for +9.0V at TP2
- Apply
0V to [1V/OCTAVE] (J102)
- Monitor
TP4
- Adjust
P201 for a frequency of 880Hz.
This is not a critical adjustment, it simply
allows multiple VCO’s to be set to the same
‘initial operating’ conditions
The next stage is to calibrate the
Volt/Octave response of the module
- Fit jumper JP100
- Set
P101 fully clockwise
- Apply
a voltage of 0.0V to [1V/Octave]
- Adjust P100 for a frequency
of 110Hz at TP4
- Apply
a voltage of 3.0V
to [1V/Octave]
- Turn
P101 2 turns anticlockwise
- Repeat
steps (3) to (5) until the frequency is around
850Hz
- Apply
a voltage of 0.0V to [1V/Octave]
- Adjust P100 for a frequency
of 110Hz at TP4
- Apply
a voltage of 3.0V
to [1V/Octave]
- Tweak
P101 anticlockwise
- Repeat
steps (8) to (11) until the frequency is 880Hz
The last stage is to 'tune' the VCO so
that it can be used with 1V/Octave controllers
such as a MIDI-CV.
- Fit R102 and R103
- Set
[FINE] and [COARSE] to their mid-position ‘0’
- Apply
a voltage of 0.0V to [1V/OCTAVE]
- Adjust
P100 for a frequency of ~261Hz.
