Intellijel Dixie II+: Overview

“

(bright tone fluctuates in volume) - [Instructor] Some people get into modular synthesizers because they're into analog synthesis, and if you're one of those people, an obvious choice for a second VCO would be an analog VCO, such as the Intellijel Dixie. This is a nice classic solid sounding analog VCO. In the next few movies we're going to go through its various waveforms, including pulse with modulation, its sync options, including an interesting variation on sync called flip, and then finally, frequency modulation, both linear and exponential. The Dixie is a nice compact module at only eight HP wide. It's moderately deep at 38 millimeters, that kind of falls in the middle of the range, and it needs 70 milli amps on the plus 12 voltage rail and 60 milli amps on the minus 12. It's what's known as a triangle core VCO, that's why I have its waveform displayed right now, because that's how the circuit works internally and then drives all of these other waveforms by modifying that…
