Subject: Re: How do you use the EML Envelope Follower? (lil yellow box)

From: "Doug" <dougslocum@...>

To my best recalections, the none of the EML synths had any sort of DC power output jacks. Would have been nice though.

I have to assume you are referring to the board level experimenter products that EML produced. I have a couple of the sample & Holds that I use in my SteamSynth, but beyond that, I don't know much.

I'll make a strong assumption however... You'll need to decide how you want to power your (rare) Envelope Follower board. I would NOT modify your EML synth just to bring out the required voltages.

I would strongly suggest a small external power supply, then simply connect the grounds of the two units.
