'''CGS25''' the '''CGS keyboard scanner sub-module''' module is intended for use in conjunction with the [[Ken StoneCGS parallel port adapter for IBM PCs|parallel port adapter]] and a PC. It allows the PC to scan the synthesizer keyboard to which it is connected, then to drive [[CGS digitally controlled oscillator|DCOs]] or VCOs via [[CGS D/A converter|D/A Converter]]s. It essentially contains the required parts to scan 32 keys, so two or more will be required for larger keyboards.
 
As shown in the diagrams, it is wired so each group of 8 keys is accessed via an external select line, though a little cutting and jumpering using the alternate select lines of the 74LS138s, the keys can be selected as groups of 16 as is required by the parallel port adapter.
