The CEM range of synth chips featured in numerous commercial and DIY synths in the 80’s before they ceased production. A number of the chips have been remanufactured by a Latvian electronics company and we delighted to be able to offer them through Soundtronics. Going forward, we will be designing synth modules using these chips.
The AS 3330 is a dual, high performance, voltage controlled amplifier intended for electronic musical instrument and professional audio applications. Each amplifier includes complete circuitry for simultaneous linear and exponential control of gain. In addition, the operating point of the amplifiers may be set anywhere from Class В to Class A, allowing the user to optimize those parameters critical to the particular application. Also featured are virtual ground summing nodes for both the signal and linear control inputs, so that signal and control mixing may be accomplished within the device itself. VCA outputs are signal currents, allowing the device to be conveniently used in two-pole voltage controlled filters, as well as dual voltage controlled amplifiers.
