EML 500 Problems

EML 500 Problems

2007-02-18 by Jeff Johnson

I fixed the key!! Thanks for the hint...I figured it was something
more serious. It looks like the previous owner broke a spring and had
it soldered together. It probably got unadjusted in shipping. Yay! I'd
still like to know what to do about the midi situation. I don't know
what to make of the voltage out and sequencer in jacks. The midijack I
have is meant for a machine with cv/gate and trig ins and outs. I know
the midijack is adjustable to different voltages, so it should work
great if I can figure out how to wire it in.

Howdy,

I would think that if you plug your control voltage
to the sequencer in, it will act like a standard CV
input. It must have a circuit that generates a trigger
inside, or it uses the CV for a gate. It wouldn't hurt
to try. The voltage out i think was to plug into their
little chord making device.

The sequencer in jack takes a stereo jack, tip (gate/trigger)and the
ring voltage.
Now the problem with the EML's is that the octave is not the standard
1 volt per octave but more like 1.2 volts (which actually makes more
sense since there are 12 notes in a western octave).
I've a few post above which address this problem if you are to use a
midi to cv (control voltage) convertor.

The midijack i've got has adjustable voltage, built with the EML
synths in mind, so that's not the problem. My problem is finding the
points to hook it up to, since the midi jack hooks up to typical
cv/gate/trig ins and outs. The other EML's appear to have these-but
not my 500. I've even got the schematics, but I don't know enough to
find the points.
