Re: question regarding CGS37

2007-02-14 by John Loffink

Correcting:

Base 1 and 2 are identical. Both have input jacks, thru jacks, and pots.

Pot tab designations assume the pot is oriented so the tabs are on top, and
looking from the back of the pot.

Base 1 input jack to Base 1 thru jack to Base 1 pot left tab (CCW)
Base 1 pot middle tab to IN on PCB, 100K resistor.
Base 1 pot right tab to ground.

Base 2 is identical, except you need to add an extra 100K resistor that
isn't on the PCB. It solders to Base 2 pot middle tab on one end, and to
IC1 pin 2 (the summing node) on the other.

Use the same concept for the CV MOD 1 & 2. The extra 100K resistor for CV
MOD2 solders to IC1 pin 13.
