I've had this MIDI>CV converter for years and not had any major problems. Have always had a couple of problems though, I wonder if anyone here is an expert on it: 1. "channel 5" aka the MIDI filter doesn't seem to work. the MIDI thru socket continues to echo all MIDI channels. the SYNC out doesn't o...

Thanks!

Just a quick question about this before I order the OS 6.0.08 from Vintageplanet..... is this upgrade as simple as just removing a chip from a socket and replacing it with the new one? or is there lots of disassembling / soldering etc? I know replacing the CEMs is really easy on this synth, hoping t...

That's interesting. It works really well as a modulation source. I never thought of filtering something that I was going to use a modulation source. I only ever thought about filtering audio. * brain opens to next level * I'll try it on the modular and see if i get a similar result..... thanks again.

Please move if this is in the wrong place. I've got an MS10 and wouldn't mind selling it to make a bit of space but there's one thing on it I love: the pink noise. Really good for claps and stuff. I can't figure out what's going on with it, I can clearly hear it's different to the white noise but I ...

Only problem with using Doepfer stuff in AS cases is that the holes are drilled in a different place so you end up with a tiny gap, or else you have to cut the rails in the case to make it all fit together. Not major though. As far as I remember, you need to put a half twist in the power cables or s...

Desolationblvd's post about cutoff levels was helpful. I think a big part of it is about "sweet spots" - things like the Roland SH range or a Pro 1 are designed so that the range of the knobs/sliders makes it easy to get nice sounds all the time. On the MKS you need to be quite careful, there's a lo...

I highly recommend Doepfer for control stuff - sequential switch, quantiser etc all work with no problems and are cheap.

here's some info on my little modular:

since then I added the doepfer dual quantizer.......

Thanks, guess I'll just go for the Doepfer one.
The Doepfer website is so 1995..... hard to find stuff on there

For what it's worth, I have the same love/hate relationship with the MKS80. It's my only fully analogue poly. I love the fact that it's velocity sensitive in such a controllable way, and like all Roland stuff it just works with no confusion. Oscs sound lovely. But the filter is weak-sounding in my o...

I've got a couple of the 6U Analogue Systems ones that are full, I need another one for Doepfer stuff. I can't see a Doepfer-made 6U case that has rack ears..... can anyone recommend a decent 6U case that is rackable, with Doepfer-type power. I'm in the UK so things made in UK/Europe are going to be...

I've searched around but can't quite get a clear understanding: How do the trimmers TM3 and TM4 in the 808 affect the clap? My clap is very long / reverby. Some places seem to say I should adjust TM4, others TM3. I can't find anything clear in the service notes. Anyone got the definitive answer? tha...

No disrespect but you really ought to consider using it to make some music instead!

Thanks folks.
I'll try some cleaning first then I'll go to synthparts!

Some of the pots are crackly (osc & noise levels, cutoff) and the envelope ones behave erratically as if there are some "dead spots" in the pots.
