'''CGS48''' the '''CGS VCO''' started out life as a replacement for the original VCOs in my '73 Serge, so it replicates a lot of the functionality of that module. Of course there have been numerous enhancements to the design as well, making it right at home in a 1 volt per octave synthesizer. The core chosen is the well known [http://www.synthsource.com/ens76/vco.html Electronotes ENS-76 VCO Option 1]<ref group="note">''ENS-76 VCO Option 1'' by Hutchins, Bernie,Terry Mikulic, Electronotes No. 75, March 1977, pp. 6-9. and fig. 4-9, p. 94</ref> as used in the [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190429023311/https://rubidium.dyndns.org/~magnus/synths/friends/stopp/ ASM-1], etc. This core was an obvious choice due to the amount of information, lists of suitable substitutes and so on that are available on the web.

Take the time to look at the [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20190429023311/https://rubidium.dyndns.org/~magnus/synths/friends/stopp/ ASM-1] page where you will find suggested alternates for various components such as the dual transistor and the FET.
 
The sub-oscillator is based on that from an LM3900 app. note (NS AN-72), and will not cover the full range available from the VCO core itself.
