Patch cables

Just purchased an Oberkorn sequencer from Analog solutions. Can someone recommend patch cables I should buy to use with a Voyager? Since the Oberkorn use 1/8" inputs, I will need 1/4" to 1/8"?

Hosa makes them ~ so does Doepfer - both those brands worked well for me ~ make sure you get MONO on both ends

Anybody know where to find 1/4" Insert Cables with 3.5mm tip and ring for connecting to Eurorack?

Unfortunately I can't get the Oberkorn to work with my Voyager. Followed the instructions:
Voltage A out into the CV Pitch on the Voyager
Gate X out into the ENV Gate input on Voyager
Keyboard set to on/External
Getting nothing
Using TS mono cables 1/4- 3.5mm

have you got your Oberkorn set to "int" and running (with lights blinking) ?

I don't know the Oberkorn but here are a couple of things I can't think of to test:
Do you hear a pitch change if you trigger the voyager using the keyboard, with the sequencer running ?
Regarding the gate, make sure you are sending a long enough gate for the EG to trigger properly. By this I mean that if your gate length is very short on the sequencer and the attack is quite long on the voyager, the VCA may never reach an audible level.
Hope this helps !

oh right - also try reducing the "glide" time on "A" ~ if it's too high it sometimes can make it sound like nothing is happening as well...
