The Cyndustries List

Re: [The_Cyndustries_List] How are those Low Pass Gates coming?

Hi Richard!

Audio Inputs are Gray colored Bananas,
Control Voltage inputs are White Banana Jacks,
Outputs of all kinds are Yellow, and
Pulse signals(and the occasional square wave) in
addition to Gates & Triggers Inputs AND Outputs
are Red.

Bruce sometimes uses a Gray jack to denote a
one volt to the octave CV Input.

Early Modcan systems had Green Jacks instead of
White for CV Control Voltage Inputs, (if you get a
module like this it means it is an early early Modcan
module).

Here at Cyndustries we adopted a "Green is Ground"
slogan similar to "Red is Right" on stereo wiring,
The Green banana jack on your Power Supply connects
directly to the 0-Volts Circuit Ground output of the
power supply circuit and is completely isolated from
Chassis (front panel metal) Ground.
(Some other companies use a Black colored jack for this
as it is technically the proper color for Ground)

It is this "Green is Ground" Jack on your Power Supply
that you would use to connect your Cyndustries or
Cynthia brand modular system to some other modular
system, such as a Serge, the Modcan rack cabinets,
or say to the Banana Adapter modules from Motm or
Dotcom systems.

Looking at the Green Jack on our Power Supplies
you will note a green LED light on the panel North
of the banana jack which represents the Positive
15 volt side of the supply output, and another similar
green LED South of the Jack which represents the
Negative 15 volt output.

Proper operation is indicated when both lights are lit.
If the lower LED goes out for example, this would
suggest a short in the negative power rails, and so on.

Ground is a funny thing, it like fire has a life of it's
own and you just have to get to know it a little
through trial and error, (a knowledge of Ground
definitely makes you a more powerful Sorcerer)
