MOTM-850
Pedal Interface $129 kit $229 assembled &
tested Difficulty Factor 1/5
The MOTM-850 interfaces Roland, Yamaha and CV-out
pedals to other MOTM modules. It provides 2 signals: a CV out that
can be set with RANGE and OFFSET controls to cover -7.5V to +7.5V
with varying 'sensitivity', and a GATE output. The GATE output can
be internally jumpered to provide normal positive-going +12V output
or Moog-compatible S-TRIG (shorting to ground) output. A panel LED
indicates when GATE is active. A panel control sets the point at
which the GATE becomes active. A useful feature is the MIX input and
level control. You can add the pedal output voltage to whatever
voltage is present on the MIX input. This allows, for example,
adding the pedal CV to a keyboard CV to provide 'pedal portamento'
effects.
Easy to build, the MOTM-850 can be jumpered for a wide variety of
pedals that use 3-conductor plugs. The clever circuitry
automatically adjusts for Roland/Yamaha differences.
You can also feed a CV into the MOTM-850 PEDAL input without using a
pedal at all! All of the controls are fully functional, so the
'pedal interface' can be use to generate GATE signals from a LFO,
convert GATE to STRIG, and many other uses! Order yours today!
