content: Quote from: jmsc_02 on December 17, 2015, 03:46:44 pmVery nice. Are you using GPIB or RS232 for control?Consider using AM modulation to get multi-tone output, you could make a nice chorus sound.

content: Quote from: macboy on December 18, 2015, 04:03:33 pmThank you. For the control i used an FTDI rs232, simple & cheap.The manual of the 33120a claims that the comms should have a DTR/DSR control to perform 9600bps but my cable only had RTS/CTS control. The solution was putting the RTS terminal on the DSR terminal and hold on (positive voltage) all the transmission time.I thought the AM modulation, but my musician habilities has their limits(Thank you for the suggestion, I'll take in account for next thibgs to do)
