This is a very good entry, but now feels a bit dated. The resurgence in analog modular synthesis is notable, I think, and the emergence of about a billion eurorack manufacturers. Doepfer's 1995 invention and standardization has allowed a very large if niche market to thrive. C/V is at the heart of this standard. 2604:2000:107C:C03B:C0AA:DED7:ED:A299 (talk) 17:17, 20 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

What you mean by "this standard" is unclear. The "Special:Contributions" link doen't yield anything useful. Is this a real "standard" or just a manufacturer's internal design? Do any of the references at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doepfer_A-100 discuss how this product has standardized CV/gate usage? Jvasil (talk) 16:30, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Can someone add a reference regarding the claimed standard of putting a "B+" voltage on the ring of a TRS connector? I've studied synthesizers for 40 years and have never heard of using TRS connectors for CV, let alone some standard for passing a reference voltage. (Not that it would be a bad idea.) Come to think of it, I think I know where this comes from. Some inputs on Moog synths (maybe others) were designed to connect to an "expression pedal", a foot-pedal with a passive potentiometer in it. The TRS connection with a reference voltage on one terminal enables the passive pedal to work. This was a non-standard usage for a particular purpose, not part of what is normally referred-to as a CV standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.182.111.145 (talk) 13:55, 7 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

The link in reference 1 doesn't lead to details about this book. Also, using the ISBN lookup feature (in Wikipedia) doesn't find a match for the given ISBN. Jvasil (talk) 16:10, 6 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
