Plexus Instruments CR-800

via royce on AH.

"the only trick with the triggering is the cr8000 voice boards need a downgoing (positive to negative) trigger. this can be accomplished with an inverter, such as a doepfer or analogue solutions inverter module. i wound up using an elby midi-trigger converter, with a reprogrammed pic. the upside is that THE TRIGGERING IS VELOCITY SENSITIVE. this is fantastic, and allows for subtle nuances."
