s trigger to v trigger - trig

Hi,
Looking to see if anyone has built a S-trig to V-trig converter?  I know the Moog has the layout for the reverse and just found a dual layout.  Would the power supply be fine with a 9 volt?  I am guessing that it wants to see about 5 volts for the gate side maybe? 

Or is there a better converter layout around?  I see that a company sells something called the "Tc-2 S-trig to V-trig converter"

Thanks for any leads,

The convertors you link to look fine, and the S to V should work fine from 9V. The V to S requires no power hookup as it takes it's power from the incoming V gate. They are both simple as it gets but get the job done. What devices are you planning to use them with?

Mark- I thought about that after I posted.  I went with Muffs as it seems EM is drying up. 

FC- A friend asked me to look into it.  He says "I bought a Korg KR-55 and it won't sync to the Juno-6 arpeggiator without one."   
From looking around a bit it seems that is one of the rare cases it needs to go backwards.  I don't have his Korg or Juno to test anything out yet.

Do you know if a trigger would be fine on batteries, or does it really need a power supply?  I have never used one before and don't really know how many mA it would draw.  I would guess a 9 volt or even two 9volts with a zener to keep the power down would be enough mA to last for a long time?  If needed to go the power supply route I would guess it would need a 9-12volt supply with a simple voltage regulator transistor to ensure it would not be over powering the gate voltage.  Or is overpower nothing to worry about?  My quick search about last night says some older equipment take higher than 5 volt gates.


Thanks for the replies,
