Re: Sequencer step switches

2008-05-19 by lexvortex

Thanks a lot for the photos!! Your sequencer looks good :) I hope
mine will turn out as nice. I want to do the same thing you have done
with the switches and the LEDs.

If I put switches in there it would be so that i could switch off/on a
gate signal coming from a mixed gate out (another hole to drill) and I
wouldn't want the switches to affect the individual gate outs. To get
the mix gate out Scott said I would need a mixer PCB from CGS or MFOS,
which mixer would work best?

I think you'd wire gate outs from the SS PCB to the output jacks on
the panel as normal and then take a lead off each output jack and
attach it to the on/off switch and then attach a wire from the on/off
switch to an input on the mixer and then all the gates will flow to
the mix gate out one at a time? Does that sound reasonable?

This is just my uneducated guess of course... not too sure about the
grounding.

I've written Scott about it too so I'll let you know what he says,
although he will probably answer here too :)
