hello there,

my method, though i've not had chance to test it properly - would be to feed
some of your audio directly into the CV in of your motm700, but first filter
it to get a good trigger signal, so you could use a band pass filter, the EQ
on your mixing desk, an expander, or probably a motm410 with the rate &
sweep set to zero - using any of these methods you should be able to zoom in
to the rhythmic elements you want to trigger from. then route a voltage
source into input A of the motm 700, this voltage could be from an ungated
motm800 with sustain set to 10, or could be the voltage offset from the 830
mixer, connect output X from the 700 into another 800 gate input, then
adjust the motm 700 threshold control until you get a suitable trigger. the
output of the second motm800 should be your sync-ed voltage ramp.

of course dub is rather difficult to sync to live, and i'd much prefer to
dump the whole thing into a computer, and sync via midi, but if you're DJing
this stuff live, then i'd really consider getting an envelope follower /
gate extractor, and a band pass filter
