Formant - the Elektor music synthesiser Parts 4 and 5, October and November 1977. In Part 4, Rl in the input adder circuit (figure 7) is shown as l00 k. This gives the `Octaves, coarse' control (Pl ) a range of + 7 1/2 octaves. At a later data it was decided to reduce this range to + 5 octaves. In part 5, this modification was carried out : in figure 2a, R 1 is shown as 150 k; the front panel layout (figure 3) shows a `coarse' range from -5 to +5. However, we forgot to point out that the value of R 1 shown in figure 7 of part 4 is `incorrect'. Furthermore, and more seriously the octaves/Volt adjustment was based on the original value of R 1 . This means that the Octaves/Volt adjustment procedure described in part 5 is incnrrect. For the adjustment procedure uslng a DVM and a frequency counter, the connection between the slider of P1 and R1 must first be unsoldered. The free end of Rl is then connected to ground, and the slider of Pl is connected to the KOV input with S1 in position 'a'. Adjustment can now proceed as described in the original article. The second adjustment procedure, using the beat note method, is correct as originally described.
