Subject: 5v Bias Generator (MOTM-800 uses)

From: "thomas white" <djthomaswhite@...>

I was tinkereing around with my modules the other day and I realized a new
use that I hadn't previously thought of. I have 4 MOTM-800 egs and I
sometimes have an extra on in my rack I don't use. I have long wanted a 5v
source to send to a multiple and then to serveral different modules to all
be affected by turning the original 5v source knob from 0v-5v. I was
planning to use the upcoming mixer for this in down time, but then it hit
me.

MOTM-800 EG's put out voltage when you turn up the sustain knob, so I
promplty tuned one of my 800's like this:

attack=0
decay=0
sustain = 0-10 to adjust voltage out
release=0

Simply patch out the positive EG jack to wherever you need the 0-5v signal
and voila!!! Tune the sustain knob and you got it! I also want to try and
patch out the (-) EG out and see if it gives -5v like one would expect. Cool
extra use for an MOTM-800 and a new reason to buy another one. Call Paul
with a flood of orders HA!
