Help Modding My Polyphonic Synthesiser with a 4051 multiplexer/demultiplexer.
I have a Teisco SX-400 four voice synthesiser.
It has 1 x CV/Gate inputs that goes to all 4 voices.(CV = CONTROL VOLTAGE for note value/frequency).
All voices are played at the same time(stacked) from one CV/Gate combination.(Gate = NOTE ON, duration that the note is held)
I would like to modify the circuit so that I can control each voice independently with 4 x CV inputs instead.
My attempts at a circuit description follow.The schematic I have is difficult to read so I have redrawn it as best I can.
Internally generated CV's enter at R5 100Ω, and are buffered? by a 4558 op-amp(would like to understand more about the op-amp section).
They enter a 4051 which demultiplexes out depending on control signals at A, B, and C, to give 4 individual signals that then go off to a TL084 sample and hold circuit? and off to the voice circuits VCF VCA etc after that.
Can I add another 4051 that works in reverse, and have this switched from the same control signals at A, B, and C to multiplex four inputs to one output which then enters at R5 100Ω, and from then on uses the same circuits as originally intended? (this is represented by U3 in the schematic)
Thanks in advance
