[sdiy] quantizer questions..(Ray Wilson model just built)

[Dan Snazelle]

by complexity, what i meant was this. into a 1/voct input i would put something in that i was sure would trigger it. (a signal with peaks and valleys) and it would just put out one or two notes. annoying as hell.

then as i said i tried the linear input..wow


i assume its made to work with linear inputs...i didnt do anything wrong now did I?

thanks for the help.
