Hi ---
Sorry if my previous post was a bit moronic! I should have looked
through the available information in more detail before posting! And
as for requesting mp3s --- I didn't mean to suggest that lossy
compression could do justice to the sounds --- I just wanted to get a
rough glimpse of the range that was possible, given that I am in
Europe and may not have a chance to see one in the flesh for a while.
I also enjoy looking at jpeg reproductions of great paintings, but
wouldn't want to suggest it is the same as seeing the original.
I do still have a couple of questions, that I can't find answered
anywhere so far (sorry if these are really obvious):
- in the output section of the TGO, what are the Sig Ins for? I take
it these are audio inputs, but what for?
- also in the TGO, what do the switch and "trig on" do?
- On the Sequencer-A: I assume I could use one side of the TG-clock as
a low-frequency trigger source for driving the sequencer, and at the
same time use the other half as an audio-rate oscillator. Is this right?
- Are serge systems short-circuit protected? Is there any risk
involved in connecting two outputs together?
Sorry about all these basic questions, I'm really excited about the
possibilities, but I just want to get things clear before taking the
plunge...

The TGO has very stable tuning and can be tuned exactly by something
like a Serge sequencer ofer a huge range - something like 2
minutes-per-cycle to 11.5k I believe.
