FS-1 Envelope Trigger

Hi,

Can anyone using the FS-1 footswitch to trigger the envelopes when using the external input give us a rundown/review?

I am particularly interested in playing guitar and other keys through the voyager, and controlling the envelope using a pedal. With guitar, I would like to try and set up the envelopes so it sounds like it backwards.

Any alternatives to the FS-1 that would work? I tried using my expression pedal, thinking that when it ticked over +5v it would trigger, but it didn't work.

Thanks,

Todd

Hi

Did you flick the gate switch to Ext./On?
I think all Moog synths are s-trig, so the footswitch would need to be a normally closed type; opening the switch drops the gate CV to zero and triggers the envelope.
