Moog MG-1 CV connect to Minitaur?

Post by Flip » Tue Nov 27, 2012 5:16 pm

I'm thinking of buying a Minitaur for bass and an MG-1 for leads, and since I'll need a keyboard to play the Minitaur I was wondering if they can be connected by CV, and then just use the MG-1's keyboard to play sounds from the Minitaur?

MG-1 and Minitaur are both CV "IN" only, unfortunately, and the MG-1 is not MIDI-equipped unless it has an after-market mod.

However -

The Doepfer "Dark Link" is a stand-alone MIDI-to-CV converter that can provide the required CV pitch control for the MG-1, and even includes a gate output that can be reconfigured (via onboard jumpers) to provide the required S-Trigger gate input for the legacy Moog gear.

Still waiting to try the combo out in the mini studio ~ gear is scattered in two different locations right now!!
Little Phatty Solar CV, Minitaur, Slim Phatty (x2), MF-101, MF-102, MF-103, MF-104M, MF-105M, MF-108M, CP-251 (x2), Animoog app, Filtatron app, Model D app, Model 15 app...and some 5U modular and Doepfer stuff...
