I thought that it may be helpful to list where to find documentation for the 2720 and 4700 synthesizer. I'm going to link to the pages that the manuals/schematics are stored on and not the direct download.

Nice haul!
ReplyDeleteAny chance you could provide some tips on Calibrating/scaling the 4700 VCO modules? I've been trying to follow the procedure, and I can't get anything in tune beyond the center octave. :( Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSure, give me a bit of time to do it but I'll try to put together some info on calibrating the 4720. The range on those VCOs isn't great, and they're not particularly stable, but I can get more than one octave out of them. As you probably know, those VCOs are hz/volt and not volt/octave.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting. I just got a PAIA 2700 that needed a bit of attention and your site was a great help. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. After recently finding an old 2700 & 4700 ... this post really came in handy.
