Re: Playing A178 is hard

2008-01-06 by pfichoux

Dear Gabu,


Yesterday, I could play 4 octave in a 50 cm space around the antenna.
But playing the higher notes without getting out of tune was almost
impossible.

I practice a lot playing Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" and it requires
2 octave.


A110 CV1 input is 1V/octave. Right ?

So I believe CV2 input can range from 0 to 1V/octave. Volt/Octave
ratio doesn't change unless you turn the CV2 knob.

Yours,

Pierre
