Re: can i use 250e to sequence my EMS Synthi AKS

2008-09-20 by tmeade1974

The person that was selling/made that cable (Steve Thomas) is very 
knowledgeable when it comes to EMS gear (and other modular gear.. and 
a lot of other things).  If he was selling it as a way to interface 
with  other gear I am almost sure that he compensated for the 10V 
trigger in the cable.
I'm sure whoever bought it can ask specifics.  And while I know he is 
a busy guy, I'm sure he could make/and modify a custom cable for you.

He has a synthi/dyi page here:

My gut is that whoever has the cable now is in good hands.

I'd probably send it through an
