Patch the GATE output from the Kenton to the TRIGGER/GATE input of an ADSR. Patch the ADSR output to the CV input of the VCA. You will have to adjust the VCA gain and ADSR to get everything to work properly.

Hello all,

I just bought a used A-100 with the following modules :
3 x A110 VCO
1 x A112 Sampler/Wavetable Oscillator (superb)
1 x A114 Dual Ring Modulator
1 x A118 Noise / Ramdom generator
1 x A121 VCF2 Multimode Filter
1 x A120 VCF
1 x A131 VCA
1 x A134 VC Auto panner
1 x A138 Linear Mixer
3 x A140 Envelope Generator (ADSR)
1 x A147 VC LFO
1 x A145 LFO
1 x A148 Dual Sample and Hold
1 x A162 Dual Trigger / Delay

Eventually, I'd like to use it with Silent Way and Numerology, but right now, I 
would just like to get started. I have a Kenton Pro Solo MkII and thought I 
could use it with a MIDI keyboard. So far, I cannot hear any sound… :-s
that is why I thought I would ask you all how I should proceed. I feel silly, 
but I am doing all by myself and sometimes, I just get stuck. Thanks for reading 
and a happy 2011 to you!

Cheers
Sophie

Thank you for the fast reply, York!

this is how I patched it:
CV -> A-110 CV1 -> A131 Audio In
Gate -> A-140 Gate ->A131 CV1

I can see the envelope generator module LED lighting up when I press on a MIDI 
key, but still no sound.

For the output, I tried to use a patch lead and a 1/4" adaptor to plug it in the 
soundcard. Nothing. So I then use an audio cable and used another adaptor to be 
able to plug it in the output of the VCA. Nothing.

What am I missing?!?!…

thank you anyway!

Best
Sophie

      Hi Sophie, my A-110s cv inputs were the first to develop jack socket problems, probably because they get used in nearly every patch. Mine only work when I pull the cable a little bit (not all the way in). I've heard you can tighten the jacks with pliers if this is the case.
