| ===== CV Protection ===== |
| |
| CV protection is something you have to be aware of when doing CV related mods. If your CV device outputs too high a voltage, or even a negative voltage, then the out-of-bounds input might just hose your x0xb0x. |
| |
| Here are a few ideas on how to deal with the problem. |
| |
| ==== Protection from Negative CV ==== |
| VerifyMe: Just connect the cathode of a [[diode]] between the CV in and the rest of your circuit. This should shunt any negative voltage to ground before affecting the rest of your ciruit. |

| |
| ==== Protection from Extreme Positive CV ==== |
| VerifyMe: Use a ZenirDiode, set up like the above, but instead of shunting it to ground. See http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/SOUNDLABMINISYNTH/SoundLabMods.html#PROTECTCVINPUTS for more information |
