in an old Moog 1130 CV pedal, which outputs 0 to 5v, accomplish much of the
same result (obviously without the scaling or Triggering options)?<<

When a couple of other people seemed disappointed that the 850 would only
handle one pedal I was going to mention that they can use as many powered
pedals as they want, but I didn't want Paul thinking I was trying to talk
people out of buying the 850. I have one of those old Moog pedals I was just
about to plug in myself. However that pedal doesn't operate as nicely as the
Roland and probably Yamaha pedals. In the past I always seemed to have
problems getting it to control a parameter and match up with the pedal
position the way I wanted it too. That's probably because of its lack of
scaling and offset controls. Although most MOTM modules have an input level
pot.
