Re: Voltage Control Question

no, tom, not directly, as you correctly surmise, the two manufacturers used different scaling systems. yamaha & korg went hz/volt (except for the korg mono/poly, for some reason- the SSM chips maybe?) while moog, roland, arp & others are volt/octave.

I'm not even sure that anyone ever made a converter; it would need to be a high-quality exponential-to-linear voltage converter. would it be worth it? why not try combining the moog boits you have with a different synth than the ms20?
