ABSTRACT:
In an electronic organ including at least two frequency controlled delay circuits controlled by varying frequency output signals from individual voltage controlled oscillators, an analog modulating and intermixing circuit provides an even vibrato effect by controlling the input signal to the voltage controlled oscillators. The amplitude of a vibrato signal which is mixed with a main voltage control signal for a voltage controlled oscillator to provide a vibrato effect is modulated by the primary voltage control signal. The primary voltage control signal is amplified and passed to the control input of a voltage controlled amplifier which receives the vibrato signal. The amplified primary voltage control signal is mixed with the output of the voltage controlled amplifier to generate the control signals for driving the voltage controlled oscillators. In this way, the magnitude of the vibrato signal mixed with the primary voltage control signal is proportional to the amplitude of the primary voltage control signal such that its effect on the voltage controlled oscillator is uniform throughout the magnitude ranges of the primary voltage control signal.
