Hey guys,
I'm studying the Korg Monotron schematic in my quest to get a general idea of how synthesizers may be designed.
I have a particular question about the schematic. In the bottom left corner is the power module. Unless I'm missing something, the only source of voltage for the entire system is the two AAA batteries which is 3 volts. But if you look, they have the VCC rails labeled as +5V. Where is the additional voltage gain coming from?
