  • A demonstration of the famous Thomas Henry VCO-555. This is an amazing sounding VCO, especially if you use the Exponential FM function as you will hear. I put the VCO output through the Steiner-Parker filter which sounds awesome. At the end I compare it with the Digisound-80 VCO which I think is also a great VCO but it only has a linear FM input so the comparison isn't really fair.
    You can find complete instructions on how to build the VCO-555 on stripboard, on my website:

    I have not yet put in the thermistor for temperature compensation. I just ordered a few so I'll post about my experience with that soon.

    100% convincing demo. Your stripboard layout of this is going to be my next build.

      Excellent! Thank you so much. I love this VCO. I didn't show the Hard Sync function in this video but it is amazing too. I will make a second video about that soon.

    Like 16. You captured some great sounds here. I love them! My favourite is the one at around the 3 minute point. So cool stuff!

      Thanks! That was inspired by Tears for Fears 'Change' :) Glad you liked the video.

      Thank you so much! I love this VCO. Thomas Henry designs are pretty amazing as is the Steiner filter! Greetings back from The Netherlands! Stay Safe!

    I'm gonna go with the VCO555 for my DIY mega-synth I'm planning... sounds great and I found a stripboard version I can build for cheap. 3 of those at once should sound pretty badass. :-)

      The VCO555 is my favourite VCO. A few of them together will sound awesome!

    Great demo, I will try to bread board it asap.
    Anyway, AS3340, or all other VCOs have expo FM. You have to put an other VCO output in V/oct or CV input and you are done.

      Thank you! Yes, I thought that connecting to CV in would produce expo FM. I didn't really know that until I made this video but I shall make a new one soon with a proper comparison. Thanks for your comment!

    Hi Eddy. One question. Can you connect the VCO directly to speakers? The VCO output is too high, I think....I don´t know how to hear the VCO only. To test it.

    • @EdEditz
      @EdEditz  2 роки тому +2

      No you can not connect it straight to speakers. It needs to go through a Voltage Controlled Amplifier. Then it needs to be attenuated to line level and then go into a HiFi amplifier.

      @@EdEditz I have seen the answer in your page!! Thanks a lot. I am going to make this VCO, a VCA and a ADSR. I have almost all the parts, and your way of construction is faster than make a PCB.
