Re: Splitting up the CV

2002-11-18 by Joe Buechler

Hi Coleman

In general, the A180 Multiples is the module used to split a single 
CV or audio signal to several destinations. As bakis mentioned, 
though, it isn't very good for pitch CV. That's because it isn't 
buffered, so there's inevitably a voltage drop. For most 
applications, the voltage drop doesn't matter, but with pitch CV it 
throws the tuning off.

The A185 Bus Access module is better for this. It buffers the pitch CV 
and feeds it to the system bus, where its routed to all of the VCOs 
without any additional patching required (it also routes the gate 
signal to all of the A145s). There's two pairs of output jacks on 
the A185 that you can use for things like VCF pitch tracking.

If you don't have an A100 system bus (your modules aren't plugged into 
a Doepfer bus board) the other alternative is to get a buffered 
multiple. Analog Systems makes one, the RS230. The Analog Solutions 
MX224 would also work.
