Hi all. Am just finishing off building a CGS31, and plan to have 2 CV inputs AND a rate pot. First thought was to simply add aCGS04 mixer, with 2 regular inputs, and another input wired as a voltage divider between +15V and GND, then take the output to the CV input on the CGS31 b

I'm building the CGS28 sequencer for MOTM format using the Bridechamber panel. It's assembled, but when I power it up and send clock I only see a faint pulse on the first LED. It doesn't progress to any of the other steps. I've tried the two mods: TL074 pin 8: change 22k to 100k

Each gate signal lasts a full clock cycle so it is no wonder you get a constant 5 volts when all are used. You need to shorten the output pulses. Try cutting the inhibit in to the gate 4051 (pin 6 )and connecting it to the clock instead (pin 7 of the quad op-amp). Alternatively,
