Elektor Formant Modular

Replying to a somewhat old post... hope it not too out of date..

I do exactly what is described below(multi patch cord with three 
plugs on one end for my CV from my sequencers, however I have NEVER 
mangaed to get the FORMANT ADSR's to trigger once I took them out of 
the original FORMANT synth, and tried to make them "seperate 
modules". Now I never really understood the point of the 
little "interface" board that went between the keyboard and the 
synth, and I took it away... is that my problem? If I reinstated it 
(in regard to the wiring of the ADSR modules)(no need with the VCO's 
they work the way I descibed above) could I then get my adsr's to 
work from an EXTERNAL gate/trigger from a seq?

> A global cv input is made easiest at the point where the keyboard 
is connected to the Interface printboard. You might experiment a bit 
and keep the keyboard connected too. Maybe you need an extra buffer 
like IC7.
> I seem to have never made this global cv input. I think it is more 
fun to create different paths within the synth. One vco sequenced 
and another keyboarded.
> Another way is to make multi-patchcords: one plug with three or 
more cords and plugs coming out. That way you can connect the 
sequencer to the ecv inputs of every vco and or filter.
