hello,
as far as i know, the ems vcs3 can be controlled by
the cv of an 1volt/oct keyboard or midi-cv interface,
but it will need a small modification(ask EMS direct
for this).
as for a gate signal, for triggering the vcs3 envelope
shaper, it will need a 4volts trigger. do not use the
sh101 gate output as it is, at least, 12 volts high!
better ask EMS direct about this again. again, it will
need a small modification...
