Paia 9720 glide output?

[stevebryson]

Hi Folks - I am building the Paia 9700s system, and am just about to start the 9720 VCO module. One thing that surprises me about the design is that the glide control applies only to this module with no output that I can see. So, for example, I can't make the filter cutoff frequency glide with the VCO frequency.

It looks like I can get the glide output from the connection between X (looks like "K" in the low-res PDF manual) and the J5 X lug. Is there any reason I can't put in a new jack (a nice place would be just to the lower right of the glide pot) and attach the T lug of this new jack to the J5 X lug? Of course I'd attach the S lug of the new jack to ground somehow.

I'm too much of a newbee to know if this would work or not.

Can anyone tell me if this would work? It seems like such an obvious thing to do...

Schematics etc. can be found at http://www.synthmanuals.com/manuals/paia/9720_dual_vco_with_modulator/assembly_and_using_manual/9720_dual_vco_modulator_200dpi.pdf. The schematic and wiring diagram are on the last couple of pages.

Or is there a glide output I'm missing?

Thanks and happy holidays!

For those who are interested, Scott at Paia tells me that a connection from the J5 X lug to a new jack will give me the output I desire.

Thanks, Scott!
