    Moseley Miranda
    This document provides instructions for assembling and using the VCO 3D dual oscillator module. It has two voltage controlled oscillators that can each produce saw and variable pulse waveforms. The module offers either a chip heater option or use of external temperature compensation resistors to stabilize the oscillators' tuning. The summary provides setup instructions to calibrate the oscillators and mix their outputs.

    VCO 3D

    Dual VCO based on the


    Moog Rogue oscillators.
    Features...

    Two wide range VCOs


    Saw and Varable PW
    Syncable
    On board chip heater
    may be disabled in
    favor or 1K tempcos
    +/-12 or +/- 15V

    The VCO3d is supplied with tempco resistors however there is a chip-heater option on
    the board.

    Chip-Heater

    To use the chip-heater option the three spaces on the board marked for TC , TC and TC-
    R are not used. All parts and jumpers are installed. Turn the unit on. After about five
    minutes warmup adjust trimmer R7 until U5 pins 5 and 6 are equal. About +0.67VDC.

    Tempco Resistors
    To use the tempco option the three spaces on the board marked for TC , TC and TC-R
    are used.

    Unused or changed parts

    Install (2) 1K tempco resistors for the spaces marked TC. Leave enough slack on
    the leads so that they can be placed in contact with the top U1. Use a little heat sink
    compound to insure good thermal contact.
    Install a 1K resistor for TC-R
    Omit R6, R40, R41, R42, R43, T-7
    Change R44 from 33-ohm to 10K
    Remove the tiny jumper to the left of TC-R that connects U1 pin-14 to +V
    Jump C8 (.01uF)

    Setup

    You will need a way to generate keyboard control voltage, a tuning refernace, monitor
    amplifier and a way to mix the vco outputs into the amp.

    Hook the saw output of VCO1 up to the monitor amplifier


    Hook your 1v/Oct controller to KCV-VCO1 and KCV-VCO2
    Turn on the amp and make sure that it's turned down
    Apply power to the vco board
    Turn the amp up to a reasonable level
    Turn Freq and Fine controls for both VCOs to 12 o'clock.
    Play the middle octave on your controller. Usually C4-C5.
    Adjust T2 until the VCO's middle C is close to the frequency of your referance
    keyboard.
    Play the C4-C5 octave and adjust T1 until the octave is correct.
    Play the higest octave on your keyboard and adjust T3 until the octave is correct
    Turn up the level on VCO2's output
    Play middle C and adjust T5 until the VCO's are close to the same frequency
    Turn the level on VCO1 down
    Play the C4-C5 octave and adjust T4 until the octave is correct.
    Play the higest octave on your keyboard and adjust T6 until the octave is correct
    Turn up the level on VCO1 to balance the ocillators outputs adjust VCO2 to match
    VCO1 as close as possable while checking your tuning referance.
    Wait for a while and do it all again to tighten thing up.
