Have you still the interface between the analog keyboard and the 
Formant, because this is where you have to plug in your mcv4. Or do 
you have the external inputs at the ADSR-module earlier mentioned on 
this board. This has to be working. Can you messure the voltage of 
the gate-pulse with a Voltmeter.Good luck.
