Two questions about the Freqbox - OSC direct out

Post by Rabalder » Fri Jan 06, 2012 1:19 pm

- Is it safe to treat the OSC CV output as a normal audio signal, and send it to a normal input on a normal audio interface?
It doesnt burn up the input after a few weeks or something??? :|

- Is the signal identical to the audio output pre-VCA..?

Its a pretty hot (loud) constant signal so you probably should put some sort of attenuator , or vca or volume pedal to prevent the freq from peaking and clipping your interface
My modular so far: Q104, Q106 x2, Q107, Q108, Q109 x2 , Q116, Q118, Q127 w/Q140, Q130, STG Wave Folder, Mixer and Mankato playing with Moog Voyager, VX-351, CP-251, MF-104M x2 ( STEREO!) Volca Beats and Bass, Arturia Beat step

So there is no real danger of damaging any gear?
Just a clipping-issue??

I don't think you should damage anything with OSC Out – sometimes I put it straight back in to my Freqbox's Audio In, and all's well (so far at least ;-)

Re-routed my whole setup today..

Freq volume output at 50%.
Interface input level in the yellow-zone..

No clipping.
Works perfect..
All good... :D
