else)???

>     I have been told that all the scematics for those circuits do not exist

>     Minimoog: I have three minimoog modules. I built them by myself
copying the

case
>     (each). I control them using for each one a Kenton pro solo midi to cv
conv.
>     The three Kentons have been installed into a single unit rack mounted
case.
>     The whole thing is 10 units.
>     I have already adjusted the original design to my needs.
>     The glide works, as i did not use the conventional cv in port of the
original
>     minimoog(which did not allow to use that control).
>     The low output is hard wired to the ext input.
>     Next I am planning to eliminate the decay switch and to route the release
>     control to an appropiate potentiometer. This will mean I have to
redesign the
>     front panel.
>     As I have to do all this work, I am asking if anyone is willing to provide
>     the schematics of the modifications that companies like Rivera used to
>     apply to those Synths.

>     Arp Pro Dgx: I would like to control it via midi with a midi to cv conv.
>     I have not been able to find if the keyboard sends a 1volt/oct controller
>     signal (seems as it does not).
>     I can be wrong, I hope so.
>     Please let me know where my fault is and how can I do to control this 
>     synth with a 1volt/oct signal.
