Hello Everyone, Is it possible to control an Electrocomp-101 with a Doepfer Dark Time analog sequencer? I have both but can't seem to get it to work. If it is possible can someone tell me what cables I should connect where and what knob settings I should use? Big thanks for any advice! - Oliver

Hello Everyone,

Big thanks for any advice!

Hi Matt, Thanks for the heads up. I thought that was the answer but I was double checking. I'm using the Dark Time with some other gear (really nice little unit). Too bad it won't work with the 101 too. - Oliver --- In emlsynth@yahoogroups.com, Matt <matt.fretton@...> wrote:

It has been a VERY long time (1970's) since I worked on a 101, but don't recall why there might be interface problems - not to say that there aren't any. (I was New Jersey EML sales & service back then) Other than the 1.2 V/oct issue, is it just that the Doepfer is not triggering the 101? I'm pretty sure that could be fixed by adjusting some resistor values in the 101. Doug --- In emlsynth@yahoogroups.com, Matt <matt.fretton@...> wrote:
