EMS Synthi Avs vst plug-in

   The ARP and the Moog, perhaps, not so the Synthi (without extensive modification). Both the Arp and the Moog generate control voltages at 1:12 ratio (meaning a voltage can be translated into each note of a standard chromatic scale). The EMS architecture was not 1:12, but rather something like 1:10 (or something, I just know it is not 1:12).
Not that this matters, ultimately. But the keyboard controllers for the Moog and the ARP were made to transmit (for lack of a better term) the 12 chromatic notes in a 1:12 ratio, where as the sequencer controller (that looks like a keyboard) for the AKS (or the EMS DK1 keyboard controller made for use with all of the EMS synths), was made to transmit the 12 chromatic notes using the EMS ratio. I believe the Buechla modulars used a platform specific ratio as well.
I do not know, however, if modules from the ARP or the Moog are swappable.
