Can I use Synthesizers.com modules with Modcan/Cynthia modules?
Modcan and Cynthia modules have different panel dimensions (9″ tall vs 8.75″ for the .com and 2.25″ wide vs 2.125″ for the .com). This prevents using our standard cases to house both types of modules. Modcan and Cynthia modules use +15, -15 volts just like Synthesizers.com systems but the connector is different and special power cables will be needed. Modcan and Cynthia modules use banana jacks instead of 1/4″ jacks so you can use our Banana Jack Interface to interface the two types of modules. Other than physical mounting, power connectors and panel jacks, the external signals such as pitch voltage, signal voltage, and gate signals are compatible with Synthesizers.com systems. Modcan has added a ‘B Series’ with a different form factor – see their website for more info.

A: Normally a keyboard controller will produce 1 volt per octave with each key being 1/12 of a volt change. The oscillator is designed to respond to this exponentially so that a 1 volt chan
