To connect the KORG MS-02, use patch cables to link the CV (Control Voltage) and Gate outputs to your synthesizer's corresponding inputs. Ensure that the voltage levels are compatible to prevent damage.
Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure. Verify that the power supply is functioning and that the input and output levels are correctly set. Test with different cables to rule out any faulty connections.
To calibrate the pitch CV output, use a multimeter to measure the output voltage. Adjust the trimmers on the module until the voltage corresponds to the desired pitch scaling, typically 1V/octave.
Regularly clean the unit with a dry cloth and ensure that all jacks and connectors are free from dust. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and humidity. Periodically check for loose connections or worn cables.
The KORG MS-02 is an analog CV interface and does not natively support MIDI. However, you can use a MIDI-to-CV converter to integrate it with modern MIDI equipment.
The portamento control allows for smooth gliding between notes. Adjusting this setting changes the time it takes for the pitch to transition, creating a legato effect.
Check for any loose or damaged cables and ensure that all connections are secure. Verify that the power supply is providing consistent voltage, and test with a multimeter to confirm signal integrity.
Yes, the KORG MS-02 is designed for use with modular synthesizers. It can convert and route signals within a modular setup, integrating seamlessly with other modules.
Common issues include lack of power, no output signal, and unstable CV signals. To fix, check the power supply, secure cable connections, and ensure all settings are correctly configured.
You can expand its functionality by integrating additional modules such as sequencers, MIDI converters, or other CV processors to enhance your sound design capabilities.
