Prodigy & Doepfer MAUSI/MCV4

[leelinn]

Hello,
i have an old prodigy and i want to control by my soft sequencer. i use as MIDI-CV converter one doepfer MAUSI (maybe i'll change it with the MCV4). As wrote in the manual i've changed the gate setting of converter (moog synths use s-trig). Everything seems to work ok: i'm able to control my moog from soft sequencer or from drum machine. There only a strange thing: if SUSTAIN knob of LOUDNESS CONTOUR panel is open, prodigy generate a sustained sound even if soft sequencer is stopped and the midi editor empty (no notes). Why?

These are my question:
->i've read in the web that there are differences between connections made with mono or stereo jack but i didn't find evidence of this in the doepfer manual.

-> At the moment i need to connect in cascade moog/mausi & my korg er to my mac/soundcard. But how? I've supposed to do a connection of this kind : MIDI IN->OUT>IN...etc..etc.. but mausi have no midi out so it's impossible for me to start (and close) chain from my soundcard. Do u have any suggestions?

->In yr opinion, is doepfer mcv4/mausi a good device for my moog or the best choice is the most famous kenton pro solo?

[OT]->Just a little curiosity: mausi, sh 101 and moogerfooger 102: is there a way to connect them? (Maybe i can connect mausi with sh101 cv/gate in and moogerfooger to sh 101 cv/gate out)

If the trigger is reverse (i.e. sound when key release and no sound when key pressed) the trigger polarity of the MCV4 has to be changed. For details please look at the MCV4 manual.
