I have spent a large portion of today exploring the vast capabilities of my Kenton pro-2000 and getting it tweeked up for a multiple voice MOTM system (I need more VCAs Paul). As a part of the process, I realized that I can control the amplitude of the trigger pulse, gate or whatever else assigned to the aux outputs. I have all my gates set for + 5 volts. However, the trigger is just a scaling thing rather than voltage. So, I am about to pull my scope out to measure the amplitude of the trigger pulse, and then realized, "I don't know what it should be." So, I have a generic trigger question and one specific to the Kenton pro-2000. The first one is easy. What voltage is correct for a trigger pulse? I know gate signals seem to vary from 5 to 15 VDC, with 5 being appropriate for MOTM. What about those pesky triggers? What is right for MOTM? Do other synth EGs require different voltage triggers? The second question is only for pro-2000 users who have programmed more than 2 voices from a pro-2000. I have successfully programmed the third voice from aux outputs, but can find no way to get a trigger out for the third voice. I can get the CV and gate, but no trigger (except the ones for voice A or B). Lastly, it seems that once I get my MOTM-800s modified to work with gate only, the pro-2000 is capable of supporting 5 basic voices if you do not need any extra aux voltages for anything. Aux 1 through 6 can be assigned for 3 more gates and 3 more V/oct outputs. Cool. I have been having a blast today with aux outputs 3 through 6 assigned to various controllers and plugged here and there. My expression pedal has turned into a quasi wah-wah routed into that crazy 420 FM input. Stooge Larry (and pro-2000) Hendry
