New simplified design with brand new aluminum front panel.

The 2131 VCO is a 1V/Octave VCO based on the Sound Semiconductor SSI2131 chip. The module offers unparalleled temperature stability, exponentiality, waveform integrity over a 10 octave range.

Manual Controls

Coarse Tuning - Approximately 5 octave range

Fine Tuning - Approximately 1% frequency adjustment

PWM - Controls the pulse width or duty cycle of the pulse waveform output.

Hard/Soft Sync - Switch changes between hard and soft synchronization of the sync frequency input.

 

Inputs

1V/Octave input.

PWM CV - Externally controls the pulse width or duty cycle of the pulse waveform output. This input is summed with the manual PWM control.

Sync frequency input. Toggle switch switches between hard and soft synch operation.

Linear FM - A ground-referenced current input. Current into the LIN FREQ pin sets the linear scale of the exponential converter’s output. It can be used for linear FM applications.

 

Internal Adjustments

Bias - Provides a base output frequency. Normally adjusted to output a frequency of 27.5Hz

Scale - Exponetial scale tracking adjustment

High frequency - High frequency tracking adjustment

 

Every 2131 Oscillator comes pre-calibrated to track 1V/Octave. Re-calibrating the SSI2131 is relatively simple procedure.

We provide a web application to assist in calibration - SSI2131Tuner  Follow the instructions on the page to calibrate your 2131 VCO
