In this video I use CV Pitch out to track MF-102 VCO. What you need is just an atenuator. I use home made one... just 100k pot.
You can use Gate out to trigger the S&H with note on and with arp. (I use Lag processor to change the gate length)

I'm not sure if is OK to use Minibrute's CV with Moog gear. I didn't measure it. But it seems to work.

It is great to make some FM on VCF CV. And using Noise from CP is fun. It is totally different from Brute's. More middle kind... so if you're doing drum sounds is helps allot.
And since you don't have a noise in modulation section, here you can have it.

For pitch modulations it is little more complex. You have to adjust offset, so synth stays in tune.
I love a slightly randomized pitch... it sound really organic. But for pitch modulations you need offset knob or you can retune it when patch is applied.

VCA is also cool. Tremolo effect is no problem to get. I want to try using pitch out of minibrute and invert it and than run it to VCA so lower notes would be louder than higher. Have to try it.

What you need is just few patch cables :wink:

Just a few patch cables... and a copy of 'Lord of the Ring Modulator', which describes how to adjust the MF-102 to track to a CV, and includes information on many other interesting effects and applications that the versatile MF-102 makes possible.

Find it here:
