I'd like some info about analog sequencers

11 Nov 2007, 17:01

Hello to all of you,

I have (I found) an old analog synth (Jen Sx1000). I managed to create some great sounds using the guitar rig, and I'd to like to have these sounds on stage.

I've found some pedal effects for reverb, modulation and delay. Now I'd like an analog sequencer to control pitch and (if it's possible) volume or some filters.

I've searched the internet and found some interesting things. My first questions are.

1) As my synth doesn't have MIDI connections, I'll probably connect it with CV. Does my synth support this "format" by default, or I need a converter?

2) What parameters can I control through this seq?

Also, I'd like you to tell me anything you think I should know about analog sequencers, what model are the best, if I'll have any problems with compatibility.

thank you in advance

Nikos

For an analog sequencer with a CV/gate output, you need a synth with a CV/gate input (for triggering notes) or just a CV input to control sound parameters like filter cutoff.

Thanks Artemio.
(Also thanks for the info about V synth XT .I read the section there for some time as i own one).

So, it's hopeless to try it with this synth..

Thanks again for your time

(but if someone can give me any hope similar to my previous one....

)

Well, I forgot, there are MIDI to CV/gate converters, but I never heard of a CV/gate to MIDI converter, though perhaps there is one. Anyway, I simply do not understand why you need to spend money on an analog sequencer when you have 4-track step modulator in the XT.

No, it is not a need. I'm complete with my V.

Just experimenting and learning.

Thanks for your time man
