12V KB gate

hey all, a short well rather tiny question from a learner.

as you have seen i have been controlling the phatty’s cv gate in with a MFOS step sequencer.
the engineer said it puts out 12V whereas according to the manual the phatty “likes” 0-5V.

so here’s the question: everything with gate control has been working all normally, i was wondering though if 12V is okay for this input. might it damage the phatty in any way?

thanks. :slight_smile:

It is always best to use an attenuator, but I think you are safe up to 15V. I would contact moog support.

i got a reply immediately. :slight_smile: for those of you who are interested:
12V is no problem for the phatty’s cv in - on the long run though, attenuation is suggested.
