===== Testing and Calibrating the VCF ===== ==== Testing ==== - Re-attach the power supply (with J4) - Apply 3volts to R90 (either with 2 AA batteries or a benchtop supply) - Probe the resonance pot with either a cheap pair of headphones or your oscilloscope. With the cutoff all the way anti-clockwise, you should see mostly a sinewave. If you're probing with headphones, you should hear a low, soft tone. When you turn the cutoff up, you should see a waveform similar to the one you have selected on the VCO. Using headphones you should hear a lot of higher overtones to the sound, and it might be buzzier and more 'acidic'. ==== Calibrating ==== According to the [[TB-303]] service manual, the resonance frequency should be at 500Hz. - Set the waveform to saw - Set Cutoff to 50% - Set Resonance to 100% - Apply 3V DC to the VCO (or press the lower C key if your sequencer is done) - Ajust TM3 so that the resonance frequency is 500Hz {{template>.templates:fabmenu}}
