[Duplicate] Haible Living VCO

triple vco

Jürgen Haible designed his triple VCO set known as the “Living VCOs” with the goal to combine the untamed bass range power of early EMS and Moog VCOs with modern features and decent tracking. He found that “untamed” Beating in the bass range and controlled beating in higher octaves is not possible with standard exponential 1V/Oct oscillators. A good part of that special sound of early Moog and EMS oscillators is not because of any “randomness”, “unstability”, “instability” or “noisyness”, as so often is said. A good deal of their behavior is because of that, but it is not the whole story. There are also some very deterministic factors in these old circuits which have been implemented in form of three “linear detune” potentiometers on the Living VCOs.

The R*S edition of the Living VCOs comprises a number of additions and modifications compared to the original Haible board:

TRIANGLE wave output for each VCO - thanks to Ray Wilson fromMusic From Outer Space.
SINE wave output for each VCO - thanks to synth legend Thomas Henry.
Amplifier section for each VCO.
SYNC IN for each VCO.
Support for THAT300 supermatched transistor arrays (top side) or BCM847DS matched transistors (bottom side) instead of LM3046.*
Haible VCA/Distortion/Overdrive module on the driver board.
Optional audio mixer on the driver board.
pcb size: 8" x 4.1"(!)
