Brian Leach, The building of an analogue voltage-controlled modular musical synthesiser and the exploration of its mode of sound production
Volumes, pp.: 1 (54pp.)
Repository (hard copy): Cork School of Music Library
General specialism: Music Technology
Abstract:
In order to gain a greater understanding of electronic sound production, a fully analogue musical synthesizer with nine separate patchable modules was built, along with a keyboard to control it. The synthesizer contains two voltage-controlled oscillators, two envelop generators, two voltage-controlled amplifiers, a voltage-controlled filter, a low frequency oscillator, and a two-channel mixer. This synthesizer can produce fundamental frequencies from 1 Hz up to 11Hz and can be tuned to play different equal tempered musical scales. The instrument is a valuable composition and performance tool, capable of producing a great variety of musical sounds.
