Re: [motm] amplifying a trigger?

2004-08-18 by Scott Juskiw

The MOTM-850 pedal interface is the only "official" MOTM module that 
can generate a gate signal of sufficient amplitude for your 2600 (I 
get >11 volt out of mine). Plug your 5 volt trigger into the PEDAL 
input, set the GATE knob somewhere between 0 and 5 (whatever works 
best for you), and patch the GATE output to your 2600.

Using a 700 to switch in a DC signal will also work, I've done that a 
few times, you won't wreck anything. But you still have to find a 10V 
DC source.
