±12V Two CMOS gates can be used to produce a simple oscillator. Imagine
that output B is high. Then the input to A is also high due to it being
coupled via the capacitor CT to output B. Thus output A is low, input
B is low and output B is high, which is as we would expect. However,
capacitor CT is being discharged via the 100k pot and 10k resistor to a
logic 0. When this voltage reaches the crossover point for A, output A
goes high, and thus output B goes low. Now the capacitor is charged up
to a logic 1. Thus the process repeats itself. Varying the 100k pot
changes the discharge rate of CT and hence the frequency. A square
wave output is generated. The maximum frequency using CMOS is
limited to 2MHz.

Sanyo's unit is still in prototype form but nevertheless Sanyo apparently intend to
present it at the forthcoming Tokyo Audio Society Research Committee with the
aim of having it accepted as an industry standard.
Sound Cancellation
Many attempts have been made to produce `anti -noise' -
that is, audio signals 180°
out of phase with unwanted sounds, such that they are substantially cancelled.
A research team at Britain's Chelsea College has been investigating the technique
for some time using mock-ups of that traditional trouble maker, the noisy ventilator
duct.
In simple form a microphone samples fan noise, this noise signal is then delayed
sufficiently to phase invert it and then fed to a loudspeaker close to the open end of
the duct. This works to a point, but standing waves set up in the duct cause the
microphone to receive a cyclic signal thus reducing overall effectiveness.
A more advanced system is currently being experimented with - this involves a
second speaker placed part way along the duct. This second speaker is fed with sound
which is 180° out of phase with the total sound travelling down the duct. The result
is an area of standing waves between the two speakers but very little noise from the
end of the vent. Actual figure quoted are an average reduction of 16 dB over the
-
range 30 Hz to 700 Hz and peak reductions of 20 25 dB.

means that once every 125 micro-
seconds (1/8000s) a« channel is

Once a numerical value isassigned to

suppose we wish to represent the

SYNTHESIZERS
Complete plans for the Electronics Today International 4600 Synthesizer are now available in book form.
Many hundreds of these remarkable synthesizers have been built since the series of construction articles
started in the October 1973 issue of 'Electronics Today.
Now the articles have been re -printed in a completely corrected and up -dated form.
The International Synthesizers have gained a reputation as being the most flexible and versatile of
electronics instruments available.
They have been built by recording studios, professional musicians, university music departments and as
hobby projects.
This book is available now as a limited edition of 2000 copies only.

These represent the main points on the
compass. These are controlled by IC2 and
IC4 which are in turn controlled by the
direction sensor head.
The sensor head, which is described in
fig. 3, consists of a disc which has four
optical tracks and four globes and photo -
transistors. The phototransistors sense
either a clear disc (logical "1 ") or a black

disc (logical "0") and thus control IC2 and

Construction
Start by mounting all the components
on the PCB with the exception of the
LEDs. Pay attention to the orientation
of the polarity sensitive devices and, for
choice, mount the ICs in sockets.
The touch contacts formed by two
drawing pins are glued to the front
panel. When the case has been prepared,
place, but do not solder, the LEDs into
the PCB and offer them up to the case. 4 e .:-1 t
Solder one lead of each LED. At this á 4
lead.
That about completes the con-
struction, just connect up to a battery
and place your bets.

Filtering \q'
When a waveform is clipped high order
harmonics are produced which, if
allowed to reach the transmitter, would
cause splatter and interference to
neighbouring stations. A filter must be
used after the clipper to rapidly
attenuate all frequencies above 3 kHz,
which are unnecessary for intelligibility.
This ís achieved by using an active filter
with 12 dB/octave attenuation above
2.5 kHz. Inside view of the Processor. The RF chock should be mounted as close as
