MS-20 scaling

MS-20 scaling

2015-02-13 by Neil Kagan

I have a quick question. Using Doepfer modules, is there a way to get the MS-20 mini’s (Hz / Volt) output to scale correctly in order to control Doepfer oscillators? I had a Harvestman English Tear but it was a nightmare to set up properly. In my head this should be possible as it’s a question of scaling but whatever I try it doesn’t quite work.

Any help would be awesome :)

Hello Neil,

The most "easy" way might be to use the linear cv inputs at the VCOs. 
Directly available at the A-111 or the forthcoming A-110-2. For the 
A-110(-1) you have to modify the module (see 
http://www.doepfer.de/a110_tec.htm).

Ok that didn’t work. Barely a change in pitch at all, even with amplification :(

In German we have the saying: "I didn't see the forrest because of all 
the trees" ;-)

With which VCO did you try it? The A-111 may have AC coupling at the 
lin-CV input. I don't remember the A-111 schematics now, but you may 
have to bridge the coupling capacitor. Dieter may jump in and direct you 
to the required change.

Yes the a-111. I'm not a modifier so will just leave it!
