Does anyone know if I could plug this into my Little Phatty’s CV in’s, as a modulation source? I see them on ebay for about $50.00, so it would be an nice cheap gadget to have. The CV in looks interesting as well, possibly driven by the Phatty through my midi-to-cv box for oscillator tracking modulation.
For $50 I’d say go for it, but note the following caveats:
-
The spec sheet doesn’t say what type of VCO CV control is used (V/Oct, V/HZ, etc.), so a MIDI-CV conversion box might not give you the result you’re expecting for tracking modulation.
-
The VCO has no tempco.
-
The squarewave has no pulse width control.
-
The VCO range is spec’d at 20 – 20Khz. If correct, this means you won’t be able to use the box as an LFO.
That aside, the Apex box should provide your LP with some expanded modulation possibilities (probably more ‘effects-type’ sounds than anything else – but who knows?).
Seems like it can’t hurt to try it. ![]()
Thanks for your reply. I’ll let everyone know how it works out when I get it.
