Hi all,
 
I have a Oberkorn MK3 Sequencer and I'm trying to use it with my MOTM system, but having a small issue with how the MOTM EG-800 is handling the Gate signals it's recieving from the Oberkorn.
 
I make a very simple connection between the two:

Voltage out from Oberkorn ----> MOTM OSC

Gate out from Oberkorn ----------> MOTM EG and EG to VCA
 
On the Oberkorn I make a pattern with only Steps 1 and 9 on GATE position ON and the rest on GATE position OFF. 
 
What happens is that when I set a long Release time on the MOTM 800, the notes that are set to GATE OFF on the Oberkorn also get triggered. I've played around with every possible setting but I can only have sequences of notes with very short decay time.
 
Interestingly if I make the same connections from the Oberkorn to my ROLAND MC-202 it will gate correctly. The GATE OFF notes will not trigger even with long release times.
 
So my question - is there anything special about the MOTM EG that makes it listen to gate pulses in a particular way that is causing this to happen? Is the Oberkorn perhaps sending a week signal even when the GATES are off which the MOTM is sensitive to? Would that make sense?

Perhaps someone with a similar setup can weigh in.. any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Ithai
