5 volt gate signal.What if I give more?

[Don Solaris]

Many of the synths actually accept both the 5V and 12V trigger. And i doubt someone would dare to design a synthesizer that can not accept 12V trigger. It would make no sense, because so much old gear is standardized at 12V.

Thank you Don!So it's safe to trigger e Eurorack 5-volt module with 12 volts.The reason i got anxious was because i saw somewhere a device that converted higher voltages to 5 volts for "triggering Eurorack modules" & that set the alarm.

Ask manufacturer of the module.

Thanks, will do...!

In case anyone else is interested in this i contacted Herr Dieter Doepfer & he told me that all Doepfer modules are happy with trigger voltages of up to 12V, as Don Solaris suggested.
