Hi.

 

This will probably sound stupid, but it’s bugging me so I need to ask. I have a few older synths (Arp Axxe, SH-1000, SH-2, etc) that I love using because the sound is “sharper” (more bite) than modern synths. I can’t say I am 100% sure of this but I think there is a sort of “snap” at the start of each cycle of the waveform and it gives it more of an electric or buzzy sound. Personally, I LOVE this sound and would like to have it in my Modular synth.

 

I’m pretty sure the slew rate mode that Moog does to the Voyager helps achieve this kind of sound to a small extent.

 

But it seems that eurorack oscillators have a smoother, perfected sound and I haven’t been able to find any that sound like that. I don’t have that many but it’s pretty expensive to experiment!

 

So… is there some way I could modify a Doepfer oscillator to get that sound It would be great if I could get a couple of A-110-2s or 110s and modify them to have this sound. Any information would be helpful (including other mods).

 

Thanks!

Scott
