Cgs synth

This thing is freakin great - I started with the John Loffink
tweaks and then tweaked it further to my taste and it sounds so
unique - One suggestion i'd make is that if you ever think of making
a rev 2 - you might have pots onboard for tweaking the cv inputs.

One question - I built mine with attenuaters (100k L pots) on each
input and also on CV 1 - I notice that the volume lowers but not to
0% just like maybe 20% on each of them - I'm a novice at circuits
still, I assume you'd need an opamp and actually make a mixer circuit
to go from 0% to 100%? Or are there different pots I should have used?

Attenuators must be wired a certain way, and I suspect you've not got them
right.

The input jack goes to the clowcwise end of the pot. The center pin of the
pot goes to the PCB. The counterclockwise end of the pot goes to 0V/GND on
the PCB.

Cool thanks Ken, to give myself a bit o credit I thought of this last
night, I hadn't grounded the CCW. doh! Sometimes you just miss these
things... :)
