Ah thanks very much. I'll try this :)

does one shift register supply 8 gates?

Hi, My name is Ruben (from holland) and i'm completely new to the forum. I've just finished my first midibox seq v4 with wilba's panel. So far it's all working. But I'd really like to use 8xCV and 8xGATE. I have built my unit using te LPC17 and the AOUT_NG and as i understand it, i also need the DOUT for the gates. questions: 1) is this the schematic i want for setting up the 8 gates? http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_doutx1.pdf Or can i wire the gates somehow directly to the core board? 2) i also need some help under standing what i need to change in MBSEQ_HW.V4, could somebody tell me exactly what needs to be in the part copied under here, to get 8 cv' and 8 gates working? the AOUT_NG page states the following: "First edit the config file on the SD Card to use the AOUT_NG (i.e. #define AOUT_INTERFACE_TYPE 3) and save it !" But if there's a hashtag before define then the whole line is commented out right? so should i strip the #define? if so, then why is it there? This is the CV part copied from the .V4 file, could someone help me?
