Some Basic Patching Questions

2005-04-01 by ithaib

Hello everyone,

I have a few really basic questions, since I am going to be expanding my system the next 
few months, I want to understand some stuff:

1) If I use a Pro-2000 there is one Gate output and one CV output, but lets say I have 4 
EG's and 4 VCO's, where do I get the rest of the Gate and CV signals? Can I just split the 
outputs? Use the Aux outputs? Is that what the Cascade Panel is for?

2) Lets say I have 4 VCO's going to 4 different Filters. How do I plug them all into one VCA? 
Is that what the Motm 830 & 890 are for?

3) How and why would someone use a second or third VCA?

4) I'm going to make patch cables. Does it matter if I use balanced or unbalanced patch 
cables?

I'll appreciate any help, just to understand the concepts.
Thanx,
Ithai B.


P.S. Maybe it would be cool to have a FAQ document for this site group, with various Q&A 
just for MOTM, beginner and advanced, since perhaps many have the same questions. I'll 
take on the job of compiling the questions and posting them. That is if anyone is 
interested.
