Product Description
The
ARP
OMNI
offers
the
unique
combination
of
polyphonic
tone
sources
and
the
versatility
of
synthe-
sizer
sound
modification.
Separate
string
and
synthesizer
sections
allow
orchestral
and
symphonic
sounds
simultaneously.
The
total
variability
of
the
synthesizer
section
permits
such
sounds
as brass,
piano,
and
clavi
net
without
single
note
limitations.
The
string
and
synthesizer
sections
may
be
separated
by
stereo
outputs
on
the
rear panel
of
the
OM
N
I.
ARP's
now-famous
systems
interface
applies
to
this
product
as well.
The
OMNI
can
accept
external
effects
or
output
its
own
signals
tv
other
instruments.
The
computer-grade
switching
mechanisms
are
fast
and
reliable.

CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTIONS
The
OMN I
's
tone
generator
circuitry
consists
of
a
master
oscillator
at
500
kHz.,
which
drives a large
scale
integrated
circuit
top
octave
divider.
The
top
octave
divider
produces
the
highest
twelve
tones
in
the
instrument.
Frequency
dividers
derive
the
remaining
pitches
from
the
top
octave
divider.
The
squarewave
outputs
of
each
divider
are
waveshaped
to
a
sawtooth
form
(the
waveform
enhancement
alters
the
waveshape
to
a
differentiated
squarewave).
The
tones
from
the
waveform
generator
are fed
to
transistor
gating
arrays
which
route
the
signal
to
the
string
section
and
the
synthesizer
section.
The
transis-
tor
gating
arrays
are
'keyed'
on
by
an
RC
circuit
connected
to
each
key.
The
release
time
of
each
key
(how
long
the
note
remains
after
a
key
release)
is
determined
by
the
release
capacitor
on
each
gating
input.
The
outputs
of
all
the
gating
arrays
are
summed
and
routed
to
the
string
section
and
the
synthesizer
section.
The
string
section
consists
of
three
parallel
phase
shifters
which
modulate
the
sawtooth
waveforms
from
the
gating
circuits.
The
phaser
outputs
are
processed
through
a
Voltage
Controlled
Amplifier
to
control
the
attack
characteristics.
(The
release
is
con-
trolled
by
the
release
capacitor
on
each
gating
circuit).
The
synthesizer
section
processes
the
gate
outputs
of
the
arrays
through
a
Voltage
Controlled
Filter
and
Voltage
Controlled
Amplifier,
both
of
which
are
controlled
by an
ADSR
Envelope
Generator.
The
synthesizer
output
can
be
routed
through
the
string
section
phasers
when
the
Chorus
Phaser
Switch
is
selected.
The
speed
of
the
phasers
is
reduced
when
the
Chorus
Phaser
is
selected.
The
outputs
of
the
string
section
and
the
synthesizer
section
are
summed
together
in
the
Mix
Circuitry
and
routed
to
the
output
of
the
instrument.
A
separate
synthesizer
output
is
provided
for
stereo
effects.

those
keys
not
depressed
to
shorten
the
release
time.
When
no
keys are
depressed,
01-20
are
off.
The
base
voltage
of
01-20
is
always
held
a full
diode
drop
above
the
keying
(bus rod)
voltage
in
the
reference
generator.

KEYING
VOLTAGE
The
output
(C)
of
the
NOR
gate will
be
a square wave
only
when the Enable (A)
input
is a logic 0 (-15V)
and
when
the Keying voltage is less than -7.5V.
The
"enable"
input
of
the
three
input
nor
gates
(e.g.
Z33B,
pin
3)
will
always
be
a logic 0
(-15
volts)
provided
no
keys
are
depressed
to
the
left
of
the
circuit
under
examination.
When
a
key
is
depressed,
-15
volts
from
the
bus
rod
discharges
a 1
uf
sustain
capacitor
through
keying
transistors
(01-020).
(e.g. Key
2,
Pl-12
discharges
C42
through
R7,
02
and
CR63
to
-15
volts
on
key
depression.)
When
a
key
is
released,
the
voltage
on
the
capacitor
is
allowed
to
charge
back
to
0 volts
through
a
3.3Mohm
resistor
(e.g.
R5).
This
keying
voltage
is
routed
to
an
input
of
the
three
input
nor
gates
(e.g.
Z33B,
pin
4).
Thus
the
keying
voltage
permits
the
square
wave
to
be
transmitted
from
the
input
of
the
three
input
nor
gate
to
the
output
provided
that
A)
the
keying
voltage
is
less
than
-7.5
volts
and
B)
the
enable
input
is
a logic 0
(indicating
no
lower
keys
are being
played).
The
keying
voltage
is
also
processed
through
a
COSMOS
inverter
(Z45-Z47)
and
a
nor
gate
3.2.3
BASS
KEYING
VOLTAGE
(Refer
to
Lower
Voicing
Schematic,
sheet
3
of
3.)
The
T
point
of
the
Bass Keying
Reference
Generator
supplies
a
voltage
to
the
bass
of
01-20
of
the
Bass
Low
Note
Priority
Circuit
which
is
at
least
three
diode
drops
higher
than
the
keying
voltage
supplied
to
the
Lower
keyboard
bus
rod
(P1·14).
The
diode
drops
are
created
using CR
114,
030
and
CR
113.
Th
is
insures
that
01-20
will be biased ON regardless
of
the
bus
voltage
wh
ich
decreases
as
more
keys
are
depressed.
3.2.4
GATE
DETECTOR
CIRCUITS
(Refer
to
Lower
Voicing
Schematic,
sheet
3
of
3.)
There
are
two
bus
rods
in
the
OMN
I,
one
for
the
lowest
20
keys,
one
for
the
upper
29
keys. Splitting
the
bus
rod
in
this
manner
permits
a bass
envelope
(Bass
AR)
to
be
developed
separately
from
the
higher
keys.
CR107
(Upper
Bass
Gate
Detector)
is
the
voltage
source
for
the
upper
bus
rod.
-15
volts
is
suppl
ied
through
CR107
and
R130
to
the
bus
rod.
When
a
key
is
depressed,
comparator
Z52B
switches
from
-15
volts
to
ground
(Gate).
The
current
drawn
through
R130
on
key
depression
results
in
a
voltage
drop
across R
130.
The
voltage
change
across R
130
is
differentiated
by
C86
so
that
the
output
of
comparator
Z52A
momentarily
switches
from
+15
volts
to
-15
volts
and
back
again
(10ms.
typical
duration,
longer
for
multi-key
depressions).
This
7

pulse
is
used
for
triggering
the
Envelope
Generator
(ADSR)
and
to
discharge
sustain
capacitors
on
keys
not
bei
ng
played.
3.2.5
8'
AND
16'
BASS
WAVESHAPING
(Refer
to
Lower
Voicing
Schematic,
sheet
3
of
3.)
The
single
square
wave
from
the
Bass
Low
Note
Priority
Circuit
(U2)
is
buffered
through
Z51A
and
gated
through
a
"VCA"
made
up
of
CR1
05,
R
112
and
cn.
The
Bass AR
voltage
(J11-8)
is
0 volts
when
no
keys
are
depressed
and
drops
to
-15
volts
when
a
key
is
depressed.
This
voltage
sets
the
bias
of
CR1
05
to
clip
the
square
wave
on
the
output
of
Z51 A.
As
the
AR
voltage
drops
from
ground,
the
amplitude
of
the
square
wave
increases.
C77
AC
couples
the
square
wave
to
an
emitter
follower
(021)
and
the
8'
Bass Waveshaping (R
116,
C78,
R
117,
C79,
022).
The
base
and
emitter
of
021
are biased
the
same
(+
7V).
This
means
that
only
the
differentiated
rising edge
of
the
squarewave
will bias
021
on,
thus
clipping
off
the
falling edge
of
the
squarewave.
The
sawtooth
waveform
on
the
emitter
of
021
is
divided
down
by R
114
and
R
174
and
used
for
the
synthesizer
Bass signal.
The
sawtooth
is
also
altered
and
resonated
by
022
and
used
for
the
string
bass
signal.
The
16'
Bass
Waveshaping
accepts
the
buffered
8'
square
wave
from
Z51 A
and
divides
the
frequency
in
half
(Z49).
CR
106,
R
119
and
C80
are
the
"VCA"
for
the
16'
Bass
circuit.
Buffer
and
filtering
are
provided
as
with
the
8'
Bass
(023
and
024).
3.2.6
WAVEFORM
CONTROL
(Refer
to
Lower
Voicing
Schematic,
sheet
3
of
3.)
The
Waveform
Control
sets
the
bias
point
of
the
clipping
diodes
in
the
Waveshaping
circuits
for
each
key.
When
the
output
of
Z53
is
0
volts,
sawtooth
waveforms
are
produced.
When
the
output
of
Z53
is
+15
volts,
the
"hollow"
sound
is
produced.
J11-9
is
ground
when
the
Waveform
Enhancement
switch
is
off,
+15
volts
when
the
switch
is
on.
CR1
07
provides
a
little
extra
voltage
to
the
output
when
the
input
is
+15
volts since
the
op
amp
cannot
supply
more
than
about
+13.5
volts
by
itself.
NOTE: The CA339E (Z52)
is
an
open collector
output
comparator. When the inverting
input
(-)
is
more
negative in voltage than the noninverting
(+)
input, the
output
is
open; the voltage
is
determined
bV external "pull
up"
resistor circuits or networks.
This device
is
not
a standard
op
amp;
it
is a
specialized comparator (no feedback).
The
Lower
Bus
Trigger
Detector
circuit
and
Lower
Bus
Gate
Detector
circuit
are
equivalent
to
the
Upper
Bus
circuitry.
CR
112
is
the
lower
bus
voltage
source,
R
150
creates
the
voltage
difference
for
the
lower
bus
trigger
on
key
depression.
The
Upper
and
Lower
Bus Triggers
are
combined
on
the
base
of
027
and
supplied
via
026
to
the
pulse
drive
circuit
and
sustain
bus.
The
sustain
bus
is
the
common
discharge
path
for
the
keying
capacitors
for
each
key.
The
trigger
pulse
rapidly
discharges
any
keying
capacitor
not
being
played
to
prevent
notes
from
running
together
when
the
release slider
is
at
maximum.

(TDA470)
are
summed
in
the
4'

is
provided
to
voice
the

CR101,
CR102,
CR103
and
CR104
are
blocking
diodes
which
disable
the
outputs
of
the
bass
section
(first
20
notes)
when
the
8'
or
16'
Synthesizer
Bass
switches
are
on.
Z48
supplies
+
15
volts
when
the
Bass
controls
are
on
which
reverse biases
the
blocking
diodes.
The
4'
Poly

(J11-16)
and
8'
Poly
Sum
(J11-2)
are
routed
to
the
String
and
Synthesizer
sections
of
the
OMNI.
3.3 String Control Board
GENERAL:
The
String
Control
Board
contains
the
String
AR
Envelope
Generator,
AR
Suppression,
AR
Squelch
and
String
Voice
Selection
circuits.
The
AR
Suppression
forces
the
AR
to
release
fully
between
key
depressions,
yielding
the
proper
stf{()g
attack
times.
The
AR
Squelch
forces
the
release
time
of
the
AR
to
be
the
same
as
the
release
time
of
all
the
key
capacitors
by
tracking
the
audio
level
from
the
String
Voice
Selection.
3.3.1
STRING
VOICE
SELECTION
(Refer
to
String
Control
Board
Schematic.)
Z1
is
a
COSMOS
Ouad
Switch
which
selects
the
four
pitch
ranges:
4'
and
8'
polyphonic
and
8'
and
16'
bass.
Z3A
sums
the
four
pitch
ranges
and
routes
them
to
the
Phaser
Board.
Z2
(pins
3,
4
and
5)
permits
the
Synthesizer
section
to
be
summed
with
the
Stri
ng
signals
and
for
processing
through
the
Phaser
Board.
Pins 1, 2 and
13
disable
the
String
AR
when
no
string
voices
are
selected.

3.3.2
STRING
AR
AND
AR
SUPPRESSION
(Refer
to
String
Control
Board
Schematic)
The
String
AR
Envelope
Generator
produces
a
control
voltage
which
controls
the
gain
of
the
String
VCA
on
the
Synthesizer
Control
Board.
C15
is
the
integrating
capacitor
and
is
normally
at
0
volts
when
no
keys
are
depressed.
When
a
key
is
depressed,
the
gate
signal
on
Z4A
pin 6
changes
from
-15
volts
to
o
volts.
Comparator
Z4A's
output
changes
to
-15
volts
which
charges
C15
down
toward
-15
volts
at
a
rate
determined
by
the
attack
slider.
When
a
key
is
released,
the
-15
volts
is
allowed
to
discharge
through
R37,
38,
39.
When
a
key
is
depressed,
Q3
momentarily
turns
on
to
partially
discharge
C15
to
0
volts
if
any
voltage
remains
from
previous
key
depressions.
3.3.3
AR
SQUELCH
(Refer
to
String
Control
Board
Schematic.)
Z4B
monitors
the
audio
signal
from
Z3A
in
the
String
Voice
Selection
circuit.
C10
integrates
the
output
of
Z4B
and
supplies
it
to
Z4C.
The
output
of
Z4C
is
low
(-15V)
as
long
as
an
audio
signal
is
present
which
reverse
biases
CR
11
and
prevents
the
AR
from
dis-
charging
faster
than
the
decay
of
the
audio
signal.
3.3.4
ADSR
BLANKING
The
ADSR
blanking
provides
a
pulse
to
the
ADSR
circuit
on
the
Synthesizer
Control
board
which
prevents
the
ADSR
from
triggering
when
the
foot
pedal
is
released.
3.4 Synthesizer Control Board
GENERAL:
The
Synthesizer
Control
Board
contains
the
Synthesizer
Voice
Selection,
Low
Frequency
Oscillator,
Synthesizer
Voltage
Controlled
Amplifier,
String
Voltage
Controlled
Ampi
ifier,
final
Output
Mix
and
Bass
AR
Envelope
Generator.
3.4.1
LOW
FREQUENCY
OSCILLATOR
(R
efer
to
Synthesizer
Control
Board
Schematic.)
The
LFO
produces
a
triangle
and
a
square
wave
output
in a
frequency
range
from
about
.1
Hz
to
20Hz.
Z4B
and
Cll
are
an
integrator
which
charges
from
current
passing
th
rough
R45.
Z4A
is
a
hysteretic
switch
whose
output
switches
from
-15
volts
to
+15
volts
when
the
output
of
Z4B
reaches
+5
volts.
This
then
reverses
the
direction
of
current
through
R45
and
the
rate
control
(R44)
and
thus
the
direction
of
integration
at
the
output
of
Z4B.
When
the
output
of
Z4B
reaches
-5
volts,
the
output
of
Z4A
switches
back
to
-15
vo:ts
and
the
cycle
repeats.
3.4.2
SYNTHESIZER
VOLTAGE
COI\JTROLLED
AMPLIFIER
(Refer
to
Synthesizer
Control
Board
Schematic)
The
Synthesizer
Voltage
Controlled
Amplifier
attenuates
signals
from
the
output
of
the
VCF.
The
gain
of
the
VCA
is
determined
by
the
amount
of
current
supplied
to
the
differential
pair
Z2A,
B.
The
ADSR
output
is
connected
to
the
control
input
(pin
3,
Z2)
via
P12
pin
10.
The
control
rejection
trimmer
(R
14)
minimizes
the
effect
of
control
voltage
changes
on
the
output
of
the
VCA
by
balancing
the
current
through
Z2A
and
Z2B.
CR7,
C R8
and
R
17
provide
output
protection
to
prevent
external
voltages
from
entering
the
OMN I
circuits
through
the

except
that
it
is
controlled
by
the
String

3.5
Synthesizer Board
GENERAL:
The
Synthesizer
Board
contains
the
Voltage
Controlled
Filter,
ADSR
Envelope
Generator,
ADSR
Gating
and
the
Gate
and
Trigger
Output
Processing
circuits.
3.5.1
VOLTAGE
CONTROLLED
FILTER
(Refer
to
Synthesizer
Board
Schematic.)
The
four
pitch
ranges,
4'
and
8'
Polyphonic
and
8'
and
16'
Bass, are
summed
and
voiced
on
the
audio
input
of
the
VCF
(pin
1,
M1).
M1
is
a
4075
Low
Pass
Voltage
Controlled
Filter.
It has a
cutoff
of
24
dB/
Octave
and
has a
manually
variable
0
(resonance).
The
filter
accepts
negative
control
voltages
(-1
volts/
octave)
on
pin 4
to
control
the
filter
cutoff
point.
ZlB
sums
and
inverts
external
voltages
which
control
the
VCF.
R22,
the
CVR
(Control
Voltage
Reset)
trimmer,
prevents
control
voltages
from
affecting
the
audio
output
(pin
10).
The
output
of
the
VCF
is
routed
to
the
Synthesizer
VCA
via J
12,
pin
5.
3.5.2
ADSR
GATING
(Refer
to
Synthesizer
Board
Schematic.)
To
"start"
the
ADSR
Envelope
Generator,
the
output
of
Z3A
must
change
from
0
volts
to
-15
volts
(Logic
1
to
Logic
0).
Two
signals
must
be
sent
to
the
ADSR
Gating
to
set
up
this
condition:
the
Gate
and
Pulse Drive.
The
Gate
(J12-7)
is
-15
volts
(Logic
0)
with
no
keys
depressed,
and
0 volts
with
one
or
more
keys
depressed.
The
Gate
is
supplied
to
the
Reset
input
(Z4D
pin
13)
of
R·S
flip
flop
made
up
of
Z4C
and
Z4D.
The
first
negative
transition
on
Z4C
pin
8
will
cause
Z4C
pin
10
to
change
from
-15
volts
(logic
O)
to
0
volts
(logic
1).
Pin 10 will
remain
at
0
volts
for
as long as
the
Gate
on
J12-7
is
at
0
volts.
The
Pulse Drive
is
normally
logic 0
(about
-13
volts)
and
pulses
to
logic 1
(about
-1
volt)
every
time
a
key
is
depressed.
The
ADS R
blanking
is
normally
logic 1,
but
drops
to
logic 0
when
the
sustain
footswitch
is
released
to
prevent
the
ADSR
from
triggering.
The
output
of
Z4A
is,
therefore,
normally
logic 1
(0 volts)
but
drops
to
logic 0
(-15
volts)
during
the
Pulse Drive pulse
or
the
ADSR
blanking
pulse.
Z3A
will
change
from
logic 1
to
logic 0
then
when
Z4C
has
changed
to
logic 1
and
after
Z4A
changes
to
logic 1
as
well.
Thus
Z4A
delays
the
ADSR
"starting"
until
after
the
Pulse Drive pulse has
occurred,
A
second
Pulse Drive will
momentarily
force
Z3A's
output
to
logic 0
to
restart
the
ADSR.
3.5.3
ADSR
The
ADSR
Envelope
Generator
circuit
provides
a
negative
going
DC
voltage
to
control
the
VCF
cutoff
and
the
VCA.
ATTACK:
When
the
output
of
Z3A
changes
from
high
to
low,
-15
volts
is
appl
ied
through
C
R2
and
R46
to
the
non
inverting
input
of
follower
Z2.
During
the
attack
mode,
04
is
off
and
R45
is
disconnected
from
ground.
Z2
directly
follows
the
voltage
on
pin
3
and
applies
-15
volts
through
CR6,
R52
to
charge
integrating
capacitor
C13
down.
DECAY
AND
SUSTAIN:
ZlA
is
a
buffer
amplifier
following
the
voltage
on
capacitor
C13.
The
output
of
ADSR
voltage
approaches
-10
volts,
02
begins
to
turn
off
and
R35
lowers
the
voltage
on
pin
13
of
Z3D.
Z3C
and
Z3D
is
a
bistable
latch.
When
pin
13
falls
below
the'
threshold
of
the
nand
gate
(about
-7.5
volts)
the
output
of
Z3C
changes
from
high
to
low
applying
-15
volts
from
pin
10
of
Z3
through
CR4,
R38
and
CR3
thus
holding
02
off.
04
now
turns
on
and
the
voltage
divider
consisting
of
R45
and
R46
establishes
the
Sustain
Level.
CR6
is
now
reverse biased
and
capacitor
C13
discharges
through
R51
and
CR5
to
the
level
at
Z2
pin
3.
RELEASE:
When
the
gate
voltage
is
removed,
Z3B
goes
low
which
turns
on
06.
The
remaining
voltage
on
capacitor
C13
discharges
through
R53,
R50
and
06
to
ground.
The
output
of
ZlA
is
applied
to
the
input
of
follower
Z2
through
R59
thereby
preventing
the
sustain
and
decay
charge
paths
from
affecting
the
release
time.
05
and
07
permit
the
release
slider
setting
on
the
front
panel
to
be
overridden
~n
the
sustain
footswitch
is
depressed.
Pulse
Drive
input
is
disabled
by
ADSR
Release
Control

which
occurs
whenever
the
footswitch
is
released.
3.6
Phaser Board
GENERAL:
The
Phaser
Board
contains
three
identical
parallel
Phase
Shifters
each
modulated
by
Low
Frequency
Oscillators.
The
Phasers
are
chiefly
responsible
for
the
orchestral
string
effects
of
the
OMNI.

The
three
Low
Frequency
Oscillators
are used
to
modulate
the
Phase
Shifters
varying
the
delay
time
up
to
.8msec.
Pin 1 of Z1
05A
is
a
triangle
waveform
wh
ich
is
clipped
to
approximate
a
sinewave.
Z106B
connects
R
128
in parallel
with
R
127
when
the
chorus
switch
is
depressed,
which
slows
down
the
LFO.
3.6.2
HIGH
FREOUENCY
OSCILLATOR
(Refer
to
Phaser
Board
Schematic)
Voltage
controlled
High
Frequency
Oscillators
are
used
to
control
delay
time
of
each phase
shifter.
Z1
04B
is
a COSMOS
one
shot
wh
ich uses
the
inherent
capacitance
of
COSMOS
gates
(typically
5 pf) as
the
timing
capacitor
on
T2.
The
"capacitor"
is
charged
by
0101.
Once
the
"capacitor"
is
charged
to
maximum,
the
0
output
(pin 10)
changes
to
logic
o
wh
ich resets
the
one
shot.
Z104A
is
used
to
maintain
oscillation
in
Z104B:
should
Z104B
cease
oscillation,
or
not
begin
to
oscillate
after
power
up,
the
0
output
of
Z104
discharges
Z1
04B
pin
14
to
start
Z104B
oscillating.
The
0
output
of
Z104A
is
a logic 1 as long as
Z104B
oscillates.
0102
and
0101
are a Iinear voltage
to
exponential
current
converter
which
determines
the
frequency
of
the
H.F.O.
R
116
(calibrate)
sets
the
initial
frequency
of
the
H.F.O.
The
sinewave
from
the
LFO
controls
0101,102
to
vary
the
H.F.O.
exponentially.
R119
is
placed
in
parallel
with
R118
to
increase
the
depth
of
modulation
when
the
chorus
switch
is
selected
by
varying
the
depth
of
frequency
change
produced
by
0102-0101.
3.6.3
DELAY
CIRCUITS
(Refer
to
Phaser
Board
Schematic.)
Z102
is
an
analog
delay
line
whose
delay
time
is
controlled
by
the
frequency
of
the
square
wave
on
pins
2
and
12
(typically
50KHz.).
Pin 2
and
12
must
be
square
waves
of
the
same
exact
frequency,
180
out
of
phase.
The
audio
input
of
the
device
is
pin
3,
the
outputs
are Pin
13
and
14.
Z103
is
a
latching
flip
flop
which
converts
the
high
frequency
pulses
from
Z104B
to
square
waves
(0
and
0).
3.6.4
FINAL
MIX
(Refer
to
Phaser
Board
Schematic.)
The
outputs
of
the
three
Phase
Shifters
are
summed
by
Z1
and
supplied
to
the
string
VCA
on
the
Synthesizer
Board.
3.7
Power Supply
3.7.1
+15VOLTSUPPLY
Z1
contains
a voltage
reference
which
supplies
approximately
+7
volts
to
pin 6
of
Z1.
Th
is
voltage
is
connected
through
pin 5
to
the
noninverting
input
of
an
op
amp.
The
output
of
the
op
amp
is
connected
to
an
emitter
follower,
also
located
in
Z1,
which
controls
the
pass
transistor
(01).
Should
the
output
of
the
power
supply
change,
the
voltage
at
the
junc-
tion
of
R
11
and
R
12
will
supply
the
inverting
input
of
the
op
amp
in Z1
with
the
voltage
difference.
The
op
amp
will
then
supply
a
correction
voltage
to
the
emitter
follower
and
pass
transistor
(01)
and
bring
the
power
supply's
voltage
to
normal.
3.7.2
-15
VOLT
SUPPLY
The
-15
volt
supply
derives its
regulation
from
the
+15
volt
supply
through
R14.
When
the
output
of
the
-15
volt
supply
is
at
the
correct
voltage,
the
junction
of
R14
and
R15
is
0
volts.
Z2
is
referenced
to
0
volts
through
R2.
Should
the
output
of
the
minus
supply
increase,
the
voltage
on
pin 2
of
Z2 also increase.
Z2
then
forces
02
to
supply
more
current,
thereby
lowering
the
output
to
-15
volts.
3.7.3
