Little Phatty CV out question(s).

Post by rastro2 » Fri Nov 08, 2013 6:12 pm

Hi,

I'm using the Little Phatty CV and gate out to control my Moog 15.
1) For some reason, the pitch seems to be off by about a fifth. When I use the keyboard from the 15 it's fine, and when I use a MIDI-CV converter it's fine. Obviously, I can tune the 15s oscillators to make it work, but I'd like to avoid it if possible. Could there be something out of calibration with the CV out of the Phatty?
2) Is there a way that the pitch wheel can control the CV out?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Joe McGinty

I don't have any answer for question 1.
However for question 2 I'm afraid this is a no. The use of an external CV converter is the only solution I know.

... or a quantizer on the side of your modular; but if you desire glide/portamento, you'll need to have it AFTER the quantizer.

I have the LP with CV out also and play into MOS-LAB 921abb and it works well; though the voltage is off slightly (measured with a scope octave to octave) it sounds good to me.

I'll have my LP open this coming weekend as I need to move the tap from the original location to the SUM_A test point (I was one of the first in line to have my CV Out's added and neither the pitch bend wheel or Portamento work as they should. But I'll have a careful look for trimpots, etc. and see what I might be able to tell you. Otherwise, giving Moog a ring and asking Andy (Hughes) for some guidance wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for the tips! Let me know what you find out. I'll try calling Moog as well.
