Monotribe CV/Gate Jacks



Korg recently released an update to the monotribe OS and there has been a lot of chatter on the Muffwiggler forum (click the link for details on where to get the OS, how to install it and enable the CV/Gate)

The main drawback is that in order to get this to work you need a 4 pin mini jack. I dont have any of those around so I figured I'd just add some jacks.

Here's a few pics of the install and solder points, and a quick video demo of the monotribe being driven by a ModSeq (sorry about the camera audio).

Some points to note, first I wired up also for CV/Gate output, this is not yet fully working, I'm hoping it will in the future so I figured I'd wire it up while i was there. The Gate out does work at least (its just the sync out really)

It also seems that the sync in jack is switching, so that if there isn't a jack inserted to sync in then you wont be able to advance the sequencer with the gate in (like you could with the cable) The work around for this is that you can use the gate out (or the sync out jack) to clock your external seq then just mult that to an envelope and send it all back to the monotribe cv/gate ins. I may check this out later to see if I can add a switch.

Anyway, big ups to the muffwigglers on this one, cheers guys!

Introducing the MODSEQ




Here's a quick demonstration of the first eurorack offering this year, it's the MODSEQ. An 8HP eight step roto sequencer with a difference, it only has four knobs!

Essentially the MODSEQ is aimed at those times you need an extra sequencer for doing modulations, the effect is something akin to a sample and hold, but programable rather than random.

Of course adding a clock divider and patching up the reset alows you to use it as a standard four step sequencer. You can even drive the clock at audiorates and use it as a square wave oscillator.

These will be shipping in around three weeks, and as usual the waiting list is now open, pricing tbc, but it most likey be our cheepest offering to date. So if you want to get on the waiting list, drop a line to info@dinsync.info
