It's a simple DOUT based DAC, the ASCII based schematic can be found in the setup_* files (e.g. http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsequencers%2Fmidibox_808%2Fsetup_seq_dr_default.asm )

 

;; CV values can also be output via DOUT shift registers
;; This option is sufficient to control the "velocity" of drum instruments, and it's cheap as well!

Thanks Throsten for this!

Dout to CV!

 

A question for this..

The output voltage is between 0v and +5V right??

 

If yes is there a way to make this work between 0v and +15?

 

Or far away better for TR-808: Accent = Trigger pulse between +5v and +15v

My target is to make a Dout Trigger pulse of 1ms width between +5v and +15v ( This will be the accent for 808 voices )

 

Update:

I know i need a shift register that will be operateable at 15 volts..

I found that http://www.ti.com/product/cd4094b can operate at those voltages but this is not a 3-state output register.. Is this a problem?

 

Regards, Tilemachos
