OT and Modular People

Hi Folks,

For those of you using an OT with a modular synth setup–do you need anything special to get signals in and out, or do you just plug the OT’s outs directly into the modular, and plug the modular’s outs directly into the OT?

Thanks.

you can plug the audio out from your modular directly into your OT, but you will have to watch your signal carefully- the audio can run really hot so with any VCA/attenuator/mixer module you should be able to manage the levels pretty easily to prevent clipping/bleed/distortion

For now I use the uJack from intellijel, nice little headphone amp with 1/4 inch line level outs http://www.intellijel.com/eurorack-modules/µjack/

No direct experience sending audio from OT, but I believe you will need to crank up the AMP on the OT with a snappy envelope to send triggers/clocks
