I'm looking at a pair of the CGS48 VCOs as my first project. I want to build it in Eurorack format (12V with an adapter power cable) using the 12V mods listed on the project page. I've done quite a bit of DIY, so I'm semi-confident I can handle this one. I have a few questions ab

hello all, for the life of me, i can not get any response whatsoever from anything on the cgs65 that is related to control voltage. this includes the 2 pots that connect there and the cv input. i get audio through the audio input and out that is affected by the control pot there.

It's always a good idea to check the resistance between the power pins and ground before plugging in power for the first time. Most modules will show 10K to 100K between +V and ground and between -V and ground. You will see the resistance increase gradually, as capacitors charge

That is a very interesting idea! This raises a number of questions. One is how you will wire in the normalized signals. The dot com approach uses small connectors. I'd recommend that here, too, so that you can easily disconnect it all, and you can change what's normalized. Having
