Of course, there is no internal VCA, so do be prepared for drones! Note also that the 1V/Oct responses of the Oscillators and Filter are only quite accurate – fine for good tracking over a few octaves – and does not feature temperature compensation. – the Voltage-Controlled Filter, with resonance up to self-oscillation and sweepable from Low-pass to High-pass, is fed audio from the 1st Oscillator (via Drive control) and is modulated by the 2nd Oscillator and/or an External (1V/Oct) source. Things go nutty when the oscillators cross-modulate each other! – each oscillator has a Sync input along with Internal (from the other oscillator) and External (1V/Oct) Modulation controls. – the two Voltage-Controlled Oscillators are identical, with wide range (approx 0.15Hz to 100kHz) and sweepable from Triangle to Square. ![]() Have a look at the Block Diagram above to see how Chirper is put together: The solution was to tweak ideas I’d been using in the SynthVoice, slightly simplifying some circuits to bring about an instrument with enticing layout and a fine balance of limitation vs. It is a direct continuation of Molnet, which itself was something of a reaction to my long-evolving Weevil works – after 10+ years I was feeling the call for new pastures and, while I enjoyed their deep electronic ecosystems, the lo-fi Weevil circuitry was never suitable for voltage-controlled work. Chirper is a semi-modular arrangement of two oscillators and one filter – a simple setup which belies the rich sonic surprises contained within.
