Korg Monotron CV/Gate Mod With SQ-1 Sequencer

This video, via Digital Convolution, demonstrates controlling a modified Korg Monotron with a Korg SQ-1 sequencer via CV/Gate.

The Monotron has a CV/Gate mod. CV & Gate inputs are identified on the PCB, so these points are brought to the back of the case, as documented in this diagram (pdf).

To connect the SQ-1 to the interface you need to use the “littleBits OUT” and select the option CV A Range to 5V and CV A Behavior to Chroma. The Monotron accepts a CV range approximately between 1.5 and 5 volts.

    1. It’s very easy to replace the existing ribbon with a much longer one. RS electronics sell these ribbon pots for about £15.
