" Excellent condition Electrocomp 101 with what appears to be a factory mod, original operation manual, copied schematics, and the midi/cv converter in this listing.Handle has separated at the stitching on ends. Handle is still sturdy and works but I would advise not to use it. Minor edge wear- please see photos
Factory CV/GATE mod allows the included Kenton Pro-Solo to control 4 oscillators in perfect tune, and other cv function via MIDI. Hence, KB1 (and glide) pitch CV is disabled on the 101, to allow external control monophonically.
If used without the Kenton:
The 101's keyboard does work monophonically on osc 3 and 4, scaling perfectly. There are additional keyboard outs added to the panel, and it appears as though when CM3 out is routed back into the CV jack it would control KB1 cv (and of course all successive cv's), but I haven't been able to make this work as scaling is off. (1.2 v/octave may play into this, as perhaps it was scaled to be controlled from a 1v/octave synth). KB2 and all other functions are in working order, working monophonically from its own keybaord.
Once again, when controlled by midi, everything works as you would expect. The knobs added for the mod control pitch coarse and fine, with a switch for LOW FREQ mode. Gate is triggered on both envelopes, or one if you want. Kenton LFO frees up another oscillator. Route to OSCs and or filter CV, etc. This is a powerful combination..
As you may already know, this is a complex instrument and requires some degree of understanding."
