Demian kan je helpen aan Cliff knoppen, joystick en zal ongetwijfeld je ook meer over de andere (moeilijke) onderdelen kunnen vertellen.......
Sowieso vind ik het onbegrijpbaar dat velen grof geld voor een EMS VCS3/A neerleggen terwijl je er zelf 1 kan (laten) bouwen voor een fractie van het bedrag....
zal wel iets met nostalgie, status of geen geduld te maken hebben
voor eur.7500 kan je imo een Synthi 90 bouwen (3pcb's sets met een groot patch matrix 32x32, of 48x48 als de laatste wel bestaat)

Over de werking van het filtermod zijn de meningen verdeeld begreep ik, het cut-off point zou er mee verplaatst worden maar de klank verandert niet. (is wat ik begreep)

Volgens Lucidsound op Synthi forum :The later '24dB' EMS filter: this seems like good a point to mention this filter. (My analysis here is based on the Analogue Solutions RS500e 'authorized copy' of this filter—I have not seen any actual EMS schematics of this variant, but the 18dB variant does match the VCS3 schematics I have seen very closely, so I have no reason to believe that the 24dB version deviates in any significant way from the EMS original.) The '24dB' variant is actually a 5-pole filter, so nominally 30dB/octave attenuation in the stopband: however this is achieved by stringing a 100Ω resistor in series with a 100nF capacitor between the cathodes of the bottom pair of diodes in the ladder (D16 and D23 in the image above). The extra capacitor gives the fifth pole, but the effect of the resistor is to introduce a zero into the numerator of the transfer function, at approximately 16kHz. Thus the 30dB attenuation gets turned back up to 24dB before it really gets going—this is all happening above the useful audio range, so I again feel this must be for some sort of stability reason, and nothing to do with any kind of aural consideration of how the filter sounds (and again, I have not had the time to investigate this premise any further).
The additional capacitor/resistor network was added for stability reasons, essentially to make the point at which the filter drops into oscillation more uniform over the frequency spectrum. Somewhere I have a copy of David Cockerall's handwritten notes on the subject but can't lay my hands on it at present.
One thing it does do is lower the cutoff frequency of the filter for any given setting of the control knob, often giving the audible impression that it increases the roll-off.
However, whether it actually does the intended job is open to speculation. I spent a considerable amount of time recently researching filter issues, and I can tell you the type of capacitors used makes a big difference to the flatness of the resonance response. For example using modern dipped poly film types caused the resonance to rise sharply with frequency. Adding the extra network was effective in compensating for this. By contrast, using the vintage ceramic types gave an almost flat resonance response. Adding the extra network to this combination causes a roll-off of resonance with frequency. I should add I used several different filter cards from very old to very modern, and the results transferred with the components.
For this reason I am very sceptical about adding a switch to provide '18/24dB' - it is as Tim Stinchcombe rightly points out, a 5th pole - as doing so may upset a perfectly flat resonance response if the board uses the ceramic disc capacitors for the other 4 poles. Much more useful to add a Slew/Unslew switch or to make the resonance voltage controllable, I think.
