My Hohner String Performer lost tuning right at the beginning of a recording session yesterday :( I opened it up and the suspect part is a variable inductor: Hohner part L1= BV Nr 005837 I have tracked this part down to a company called Amidon in Germany. It has the following specifications: Amidon BV Nr 005837, colour code Black, Green, Brown, 5 MHz response, L = 19.6 uH, Q=120 at 1MHz, Anschluß an Stift A:5 E:4, 27 Euros price Neato. I don't understand any of this. If I want to get going now, can I not just bang together a 2MHz oscillator with CMOS gates? If anyone understands these things, why would a master oscillator be inductor based? What benefit is it? This thing feeds the 50240 Top Octave divider. I checked my Crumar and it's master oscillator also sports an inductor. The old PAIA stuff seems to mostly use CMOS gate based master oscillators so at least there is So where is the question? Ok.... has anyone replaced an inductor based master oscillator with a CMOS gate based one on a top octave divider based synth. I am shortly to do just that (as a band aid)... is this nuts?
