ich hab da mal ein Ticket eröffnet wegen dem Y-Shaper und dessen Nicht-Kontrollmöglichkeit beim Original Spirit:
Hello Andrea,
it's a great project and I have a question about it:
Will the Y-shaper on this Crumar Spirit - i.e. LFO and Arp - be able to be synchronized to a midi clock or to an analog trigger-/clock- or Gate signal? this was not possible with the old Crumar Spirit, the Y-shaper was completely cut off from an external control. In mine I had a modification at the Midi-Socket by Nikolaus Riehm
www.studiorepair.de with the following option:
Crumar Spirit Modification by Nikolaus Riehm (studiorepair.de) in 2009
Use External Gate In for controlling the Oscillator A/B/Noise only (standard factory installation). The Y-Shaper works only in “Free Mode”, no external controlling is possible.
Use the modification input with a external Gate for controlling the Oscillator A/B/Noise Mixer AND the Y-Shaper with Oscillator A/B/Ring/Noise Mixer. The Y-Shaper works with the external gate similar as the “KB Hold Mode” (no gate – no sound).
Use the modification input with the yellow ring for controlling the LFO with a external clock (trigger from a 606/808). Lets play with the LFO/SH Rate knob for a clean synchronization (12 o’clock) or others for a weird and shuffled timing.
Its not possible to synchronizing the Arpeggiator.
The Gate must be 12 to 15 Volt
Thanks and regards.
