INTRODUCTION
Not all
synthesisers use 3.5mm jack-plugs and sockets. Furthermore, not all
MIDI/CV converters use 3.5mm cables and sockets. And very few
amplifiers or mixing desks have 3.5mm inputs. In other words, you could
easily require a handful of converter cables or converter plugs - such
as a 3.5mm to 1/4" jack - to ensure that you can use your
Integrator with other manufacturers' equipment. But a module
that converts between the standard plug types is a far
better solution.
IN USE
The RS270 is a passive module (i.e. it is not connected to
the Integrator's power supply) that allows you to convert
between three standard connection types: 3.5mm, 1/4", and
RCA 'phono'. Because no active circuitry is used, you may
present any audio signal or CV to any of these.
Four
connection panels are provided. Panels 1 and 2 each offer two
connectors - a 3.5mm socket and a 1/4" jack socket. One use for
these would be to take the CV and Gate produced by a MIDI/CV converter
equipped with 1/4" outputs, and plug this into the 1/4"
sockets in the panels. You can then derive the signals from the 3.5mm
sockets and direct them to the desired Integrator modules using
standard 3.5mm cables.
Alternatively,
you could take the audio signal from your VCAs and present these to the
3.5mm sockets. You would then be able to connect the Integrator to an
external amplifier or mixer using conventional 1/4" jack-to-jack
cables.
Panels 3 and
4 each offer three connectors: 3.5mm, 1/4" and RCA 'phono'. These can
be used in exactly the same way as those in panels 1 and 2, but with
the added option of connecting the Integrator to, for example, a
domestic audio system or the analogue inputs of a DAT machine. You should
not attempt to use these panels as 2-channel passive mixers.
