The s-trigger is a short to ground I believe. Thgis is why a "dummy plug" (
Both promgs soldered together, keeps the filter open for processing audio
when it has no enevelope follower). The narrow and wide prongs are likely
different because of polarization? Probe your mini to confirmand then put
your cord in and confirm the orientation matches that of the machine socket?
If all is right the problem is at the doepfer end.

Subject: [AH] Problems with S-trig on Doepfer MCV4

Guys,


I'm having a hard time getting the Doepfer MCV4 to work with a Minimoog.

I have removed the internal jumper to switch from voltage trigger to S-trig.

The converter gets MIDI notes, will change Mini's pitch (when a key is held
on a Mini) but will not trigger. I have check the same setup with a
different (non doepfer) converter and it triggers nicely.

Any ideas, anyone ever experienced issues with S-trig on MCV4?


Many thanks
Maciek
