I am trying to play my newly acquired Behringer Victor using my Moog Grandmother , keybord out into the Victors V/Oct
and the GM Gate out into the Victors Gate In.
The V/Oct works fine but the Gate is not working, i.e i get a continuous drone from the Victor.
i use the same patching from my GM into Plaits and it works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening with Victor? Is it a duff Victor or am i missing something very obvious?
Howdy! I don't actually have a Victor so I'm not 100% sure, but in the manual it says this about the gate input:
"GATE IN – use this 3.5 mm TS jack socket to activate
the onboard mix envelope from an external
source. The GATE input expects a v-trig rising from
0 V to +5 V."
Whereas the Plaits has an actual built in LPG/envelope for amplitude, it looks like the purpose of the gate on Victor is to trigger an envelope that sweeps the onboard oscilator mix. Does that sound right? I also noticed the USB/Midi jack says specifically it does not respond to note on/off which makes me think it doesn't have internal VCA capabilities. I think you'll want to run it into an external VCA and use gate from the GM to trigger an envelope to control it. Cheers!
