Envelope 2 should be connected to the filter control input. The voltage sources are usually patched to three VCOs. The 700 also requires a gate signal. A switch trigger (Moog), or a gate and a trigger can also be connected when available.
A keyboard gate can be used, which would change the program on each new key hit. Sequencers (such as the Sequential Circuits Co. Model 800) can be used to advance the program at the end of a sequence (the Model 800 requires the use of a special cable, # 830, to connect to the programmer).
Model 700 Programmer – Operations Manual operation of the envelopes based on the different input controls possible. The overall operation of the envelopes is very close to that on your synthesizer. Both envelopes also have an AMOUNT control that defines the gain of the envelope.
Model 700 Programmer – Operations Manual External Voltage Any voltage connected to the EXTERNAL VOLTAGE socket on the programmer can be added to any or all of the voltages, as well as envelope 2. This is handy for external connection of sequencers, keyboards, etc. The ADD EXT switches in each voltage and in envelope 2 select whether or not to add the external voltage.

Viking also makes custom moulded cables to fit these connectors. The specific receptacle part number that we will be using in the 700 is a TKR12-1017 that cost about $0.42 in 1000 quantity. The pin contacts that will be used are TP-100AU, costing about $0.08 each in 10,000 quantities.

Model 700 Programmer – Operations Manual The Model 700 has an isolated ground in its power cord, so Pin 1 should be used as the ground reference for control voltages. For actual definitions of the signals, refer to the Model 700 operations manual. These signals are redundant with the normal back panel jacks, and have identical operation.
