The CV/Gate track of Analog Keys is made for controlling external, CV/Gate equipped, analog gear. In this sce-
nario, a vintage analog synthesizer is controlled by Analog Keys. The pitch and filter cutoff will be controlled.
1. Connect two standard insert/Y cables (or one Y cable and a standard mono phone cable) to Analog Keys
CV AB and CV CD outputs.
2. Connect the tip cable of the CV AB insert cable to the external synth pitch CV control input. This cable will
control the pitch of the external synth.
3. Connect the ring cable of the CV AB insert cable to the external synth gate input. This cable will open the
envelope of the external synth.
4. Connect the tip cable of the CV CD insert/Y cable (or the mono phone cable) to the external synth filter CV
input. This cable will control the filter cutoff of the external synth.
5. While on the CV track, press [FUNCTION] + [CV A]. In this menu, set TYPE to PITCH V/OCT. For instruc-
tions on how to calibrate the pitch CV so that it matches the tuning of your CV-controlled synth, please see
"CV CONFIG" on page 57.
