This video, via Markus Fuller, takes a look at how to create a DIY V-Trigger to S-Trigger cable.
Most modern synths use V-Trig ‘gates’ of +5 volts. S-Trigger signals are used on some older synths (Moog, Korg), so making a V-Trig to S-Trig cable lets you control them with modern sequencers and modular synth gear.
You can find out more about V-Trigger and S-Trigger signals at the Synthesizers.com site.
I bought one. It was even easier than this.
I had to build a few of these when I worked at a place that sold them. It was pretty straight forward and easy.
Nice. But how can I make a non-DIY V-Trigger to S-Trigger cable?
Used 1/4″ male and female for my Source adapter. Super useful for older analogs. Thanks for showing the soldering as well as schematic!
One little word of caution is that some of those 1/8 cables have the same wire as earbuds which is that lacquered wire– which is difficult to solder. It’s nice when you can find a version that is regular insulated copper.
I built two into a passive mult module.
