This is basically a copy of a post that died 'over there'; i decided to start where i am NOW in the project, and hopefully you guys can help me not be so dumb at this...
OK so here is my rough schematic of what I am thinking..
I am VERY young at this, so be kind
Some components are known/obvious, some are TBD as I get further and further from knowing nothing about what I am doing.
The white mosfet stage outputs a 0o and a 180o output
The blue chunk is an astable square wave generator;
The Purple chunk around it is a crude attempt at an envelope-controlled gate for said square wave
The green stages are switched 'on' by the squarewave output. Note they are a positive AND a negative channel
The Yellow switches are shown in 'fringer' position.
The 'fringer' is my accidental reinvention of the famed Dan armstrong's green ringer. I was drawing mosfet stuff and thought about a geofex article showing positive and negative phase outputs-
later on i stumbled into the green ringer circuit, and was tickled... i definitely intend to borrow that diode on-bias trick.. Smiley
Remember that square wave? remember that gating that was done? Well the waveform is mixed in at the front of the fringer circuit- If i am lucky, it will produce those AWESOME pseudo-ringy harmonics that so many rectified octavers get from polyphony.
The Red switch is to lower gain in the 'fringer' stage to try to get a 'Jawari' type effect
I CLEARLY owe alot to:
Jack Orman's http://www.muzique.com/schem/mosfet.htm
R.G's GEOFEX, specifically his MOSFET ARTICLES
I fully intend to figure this out and not copy and paste values and exact topologies from these guru's- consider this a conceptual diagram
Thanks for any help, suggestions, or errors in concept...
I hope to keep this updated with my findings, frustrations, failures and success

p.s. note the output symbols from the oscillator in the top right- those are the same symbols in the middle of the mosfet stages
