CV/GATE JACKS
If you insert a jack plug into the CV in or out sockets then the internal connection will be
broken.
E.g., if you connect an external CV sequencer or MIDI to CV converter to the CV1, CV2,
Gate In sockets, you will disconnect
the synth’s
internal MIDI-CV converter from the voice
circuits. This way you can directly control the voice circuits from an external device. The
internal MIDI-CV converter will still work, and its signals still available from the CV1, CV2,
Gate Out sockets.
Likewise, if you connect the CV1, CV2, Gate Out sockets to an external analogue synth, the
internal MIDI-CV converter will be disconnected from the internal voice circuits.
In summary, the signal flow is such;
Internal MIDI-CV converter -> CV/Gate out Sockets -> CV/Gate In Sockets -> Internal Voice
circuits.
By inserting jacks into either the In or Out sockets, you will disconnect the internal MIDI-
CV converter from the voice circuits.
The main signal output is on the rear panel and is oddly labelled VCA OUT. Connect this
socket to a spare mixing desk input channel. If you want to feed external signals into
the
synth
, use the rear panel EXT1 or EXT2 sockets. Maybe hardwire it from your desk's effect
send.
It is recommended to keep your MIDI and CV/audio cables as short as possible to keep the
signal quality as high as possible. We recommend no more than 3 metre cable lengths.
