Re: Serge compatiblity

So the 10 v peak to peak voltages of the system you are interfacing with (what was it?) didn’t cause you any problems ? Don’t you have to mix/attenuate all oscillators before interfacing with the Serge? I ask this because Serge is 5V pk.to pk and not all modules have attenuation for audio signals. Maybe I just need more mixers. Thanks!

i received my set of mini to banana cables from Rex on friday and spent the morning
interfacing my creature with my euro rack without a hitch. In fact the serge creature is a
welcome addition to my euro set up. Highly Recommended! as James mentioned, only
thing is to make sure you have a common ground. Rex can set you up with this if you ask.

I still
had a Dotcom system) and currently have no issues using my Serge CV and audio with
various Moog pieces - moogerfoogers, Little Phatty. When I used it with Dotcom stuff, I
had some Dotcom 1/4"-to-bananna panels. I also have some 1/4"-to-bananna cables that
work just fine.
