Hi, the old QuadVCAs are 1-10V but can be modified to 0-5V, the new ones, starting September this year, are 0-5V..so, yes, seems odd. regards, Mark www.inspiringsounds.com Norman Fay wrote: On 10/7/06, damon damon@mac.com > wrote: Analogue Systems is like Wiard, 100m, etc. Howeve

From Doepfer's technical page: Control voltages, as produced by modulation s sources like the LFO and ADSR, are from -2.5 V to +2.5 V (5 VSS) for the LFO, and from 0 V to +8 V for the ADSR. Plan B's envelope is +8v Cwejman's envelopes are only +5v Analogue Systems is like Wiard,

Perhaps, but I've never had any problems using my Wiard 300 series modules along with Doepfer, Analogue Solutions, Moog Voyager, even my MS 20 (as long as I wasn't driving oscillators). Just experiment, and you'll do fine... -andrew bunny --- In wiardgroup@yahoogroups.com, damon

Why do you say the euro system is 5 volt? The standard set by the Arp 2600 is that all mini-jack systems should be 10 volt control range systems. I know the following follow that: Wiard 300 and 1200, All Blacet modules, PAIA 9700 modules, ARP 2500/2600, Roland 100 and 100m, Aries

I am considering buying a JAG to use with my "euro" modular. Are there any possible issues? I would probably run an LFO thru it, as an example. thanks, RSA

Hi Tim, Perhaps some users want to buy a system from a single manufacturer, but I'd be willing to bet that the majority of modular users have at least two brands in their rigs. I currently have Wiard, Blacet, Metalbox, Paia, Doepfer, Modcan, Cynthia, and Arp. :-) Sam E. On Oct 1,

The goal of the 300 series was a cross between an ARP 2600 and a Music Easel. The goal of the 1200 series is a cross between a Synthi and a Music Easel. It is very Joystick centric because of the Synthi heritage and because Joystick synths are kinda rare. It is also designed so t
