the unresistable vactrol topic !
« on: September 10, 2009, 11:09:24 PM »

searching for vactrol schematics i came across this one
vactrol pattern synthesizer
very charming i think  :-*
not shure if this is the same schematics, but it looks simple (some aspects i don't overstand though)

would be nice if it could be synced to triggerpuls.. (anyone ?  ;D )

i have also an simple vactrol compressor diagram in an old Graig Anderton book
wich i'm not posting here because of copyrights  ;) But thats also charming thingy

any other fun vactrol projects ? post them here  :D

btw, whats the difference between vactrol and optocoupler ?

Damn, that sounds awesome!

I found the Mutant Vactrol Filter a while back, it's earmarked for build when I've cleared a lot of other projects off the table...

I don't think there is any difference - I've only ever heard one person use the term vactrol, and it does exactly the same thing. you can get optocouplers in ic form :D
