Hi Kim,
To create a trigger on the DTG is easy, you just connect the gate and trig. and presto, it's starts to oscillate. The first time i tried to get some action out of the DTG, was a bit of a puzzle. I put a patchcord in one of the outs, patch it to a cv in on an osc. and expected the light to go on. Nothing. Even when I turned the rise and/or fall. The light stayed dead. No sound. Until I patched the gate and trig. in, after a few seconds the light came on.
I read that a full wave rectifier can be a good envelope detector. The bottom of my Wave multiplier has a 3 full wave rectifiers. May those can do the trick. I don't have an +Ncom yet. But I certainly want, at least one in my system.
So a inverted saw on my TGO could do as a trigger!
Hey Roel - i just plug something into the "trig in" on my DTG and DSG and if it
you start at the high frequenties. Of course there's no law who states you must
start from the left. I start with the knobs fully left, so there in the lowest frequenties when I tweak the knob. The graph above the knob points this out. The tickest is analog to the bass range and the thinnest is where the high frequenties reign.
It just that the response, when I have patched an AR or ASR, is so odd, so different then I'm used to that I wonder what I do with it!
I tried several triggers to trigger in, reaction can be as radical as that it immediately shuts of the DTG and I need to pull the patchcord out and in again, to make it come to live again. I noticed the same phenonomon on the TGO.
I definitely buy the dual DSG. My system can't be without them!
