Subject: op-amps driving capacitive loads??

From: mark@...
Date: 2001-03-24

My question is about the effects of cable capacitance. Fred asked about
adding individual outputs to the 120, and Paul S. suggested adding four
op-amps as voltage followers (TL074) so that the taps off the 120 are
looking into a high impedance. The 820 is advertised as having capacitive
load drivers which I assume is so it can be used to send voltages to other
synths that may be on the other side of the room. The longest 1/4" cables
I use are 25' feet long. When adding modifications and building your own
circuits, is that amount of cable capacitance an issue?? Can the outputs
of the UEG, 320, and other motm modules be used to drive other gear when
used with such cables??

THANX!!
