how to make a CV-Gate to S-Trigger cable

Does this work the other way around? If I want to trigger my eurorack from ms20 mini would this work? Thanks

Excellent vid!

I would gladly pay you Tuesday for that modular today.

Well done!

Thank you. Have had the parts and schematic sitting on the bench for awhile, was pretty sure how to build but this clarified. 🙂 now to just get to it, then the Model D can play with the other toys.

Always enjoy your videos.

Nice Adidas. Slavs approve! Now just to learn how to squat like Slav. Luckily Boris made a video on that. :D

Amazing, will there also be a v/oct to hz/v converter vid? cause that would be extremely helpful.

Very cool Markus - thanks for posting!
If its a thing, can you do a 5v trig to Din-Sync vid? I pulling what hair I have left out trying to sync my 606 and volcas/PO-32/Eurorack!

Is the arpeggiator easier to use than the moog sequencer? Wonderful video, and looking forward to a proper introduction to that modular :)

Great video, clever presentation and clear explanations! Loved your chart and how you moved the blank paper to expose more of the drawing! Thanks for the education on this!

Thanks for the video.

That modular sounds yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!!!!!!!!

Just as additional info, some vintage synthesizers will have a switch at the back enabling you to choose between the two trigger types. I know of at least one, the Korg Mono/Poly. But most others do not, unfortunately. So I also had to build this "trigger type" adapter early on for my different analog synths as well. Thanks for showing everyone how to do this.

S-Trig seems kind of dumb, 3 volts on each key that isn't pressed?

Killer tutorial, Markus. And, REALLY nice Moog modular.

I like your artwork, Markus. By the way, have you seen the synthesizer documentary called "I Dream of Wires"? I really enjoyed it.

Great info. Am restoring my MXR-185 Drum Computer, which has 1/4" 'Run' inputs and a block of triggers, all non MIDI. Your vid has opened the eyes a bit to what goes on :)

Markus, love your videos, thank you!

I like the way you explain things :-)

Thanks. Very useful. Nice moog sound. I notice a little bit out of tune. May be? I am a obsessive musician ;-)

Thanks Markus, very handy!
I have an old Yamaha sk30 which uses yet another triggering system, basically it expects a short voltage pulse when a note is pressed and then another equal pulse when is depressed.. all the rest of the time the voltage is 0... can you think of another quick way to achieve a normal gate to this pulse system converter?

Thank you! Please make more technical videos!

Thumbs up for MacrusCAD. Lightyears ahead of DaveCAD!

Thank you for showing this , some of us are novices and this has helped give me confidence to attempt small projects

Hello Markus, Music Tech Grad hailing from Huddersfield here!

Wanted to ask a question i'm hoping you could answer:

I am looking to buy my first 'proper' analogue synth and am stuck between a few options. My music style is Chillwave/Prog House/Ambient so I want sounds like smooth analogue bass and thick lush pads!

My budget ranges up to £2000 as I have considered a voyager.

The synths I have took interest in so far are:

-Moog SUB 37
-Moog Voyager
-DSI Rev2
-Roland Gaia SH-01
-Roland JD-XA
-Behringer Deepmind 12

Please help! Thanks :)

Whatever you do, it is good for us, the watchers.
Some edu , smallfacts and humor in a very laidback formfactor.

Nice channel.

i wish i had a modular like that so i could Jerry rig one of these cables too :) great vid.

Awesome stuff Markus but please, for all our sanity, don't tell us that you picked up the Moog from a car boot sale in Brighton :-)

Can you make me some of these cables for purchase or is there anywhere to buy these already made with the 8.5 euro-rack plug like you made in the video ?

LOVE LOVE the drawing, very well done... even from an artistic perspective, thanks a lot.

Very well explained. I love to watch your videos

Fantastic Tutorial! I have also seen your video on the SQ-1. Do you know if the SQ-1 does s-trigger to v-trigger conversion? I have a Korg Poly-61 with an Arpeggio Trigger In (S-trigger) 1/4" jack that I am hoping to use with a SQ-1.

Hi, I was wondering if it would be a just as easy to do the opposite - s-trigger to v-trigger?

actually regarding the mini plugs - i've found it really DOES matter - at least with my synths - the stereo mini plugs ring connector will short between the mini jack tip and sleeve!! i would STRONGLY recommend you use a mono mini plug for that reason

great visualization with the sheets pf paper!

well, this is one of the best Videos i ever seen on YT , maybe its the best , i absolut understand all u talking and if u show its easy to make that Adapter.
Hope i will see more Videos from u and stay healthy

great teaching skill thanks for making this

Brilliant demo and explanation. Just ordered up my parts. Many people won't realize the extra power in this: besides just using the gate out from a CV gate keyboard, you can trigger now using a clock source, or even an LFO to drive an s-trig destination like an envelope generator.

Hello !! Thanks a lot. Where can i get that cinch jones?? Regards

Or virtually ANY NPN transistor...

OK that's cool, but what about going the opposite way? Could I do this with a capacitor that just charges while the s trigger is constantly sending out voltage, and then discharge when the ground is triggered?

Hi !
Very instructive video.
One question does this cable is also 100% compatible with the kenton mk3 and a moog as a minimoog ?
If it"s not what is the good wiring ?
Thanks

Thank you so much for this video, your clear explanations and in particular your drawings. Nice to see such nicely hand drawn diagrams in this day and age 🙂

Thanks a lot for the great instructions. Also thank you for the remarks explaining how to play different notes. Thanks to you I can play sequences from my Akai MPCX from 2020 with my Minimoog from 1978 without MIDI.

Hi Markus. Your videos have always been both entertaining and informative. I know this video is old but I thought I'd still ask; How many envelopes can you trigger with just one circuit? I'm going to build a mult with a V-trig in and 3 S-trigs out. Do I need a transistor and resistor for each out or do I just need the one transistor and resistor at the input? I don't want to put an op amp buffer on the input because I would like to keep the module unpowered. Keep up the good work and take care.

Hi, great video! Do you know where I can buy a finalized cable, without doing it on my own? Thanks

A bunch of the Behringer system 55 modules replicate the old S-trig from their Moog counterparts. It's been fun to get into that, but the interface module is huge and basically this circuit is the only thing it's doing, without even having outputs for all of the potential places S-trig is used. (To be clear, as far as I can tell this was also the case for the originals, it's just a faithful recreation).

TL;DR, this video was super helpful because I was able to build out a number of Eurorack 3.5mm patch cables with this circuit for that purpose. Thank you, sincerely! Saved like 20hp of space in my rig and made those modules more convenient at the same time. :)

Will this circuit work backwards or is there a different circuit to convert back?

I know it's probably not important, but anyone know if this was this a 1/4 or 1/2 watt resistor?

I have an older modular system, a PAiA 4700 Modular, and will also be building a small Eurorack system of Behringer 55 modules. I plan on building a passive 8 HP module that will convert the 4700 and 55 to be able to play nice with other synths. Your simple circuit will allow me do do this, I hope!
