CV on the beatstep and nonworking synths or drum machines
« on: April 15, 2014, 12:49:00 am »
Please add known synths or drum machines or any other CV piece of gear where the beatstep does not manage to trigger:

Known: Stylophone S2

Surprisingly (considering it's used on the Beatstep Video demo), my ARP 2600 won't trigger. I have to patch the gate through the Amp (x10 setting) then into the gate input.

Also, I've measured the CV out, and found that it's just short of 1 volt per octave… High notes are dreadfully flat (yes, my ARP, modular and everything else is correctly calibrated).

I'll risk taking a look inside to see if there's a trimmer to adjust for correct scaling - I suspect there is, although my warrantee will go out of the window  ;)

Taken the back off - indeed there is a scale adjust trimmer… fixed  :)

Would you mind explaining how you did that? I don't know what a scale trimmer even is...  ???

My MFB Microzwerg doesn't trigger, and my Microbrute plays several octaves too high. Both work with the midi connection, however.
