Syncing the Arturia MicroBrute with the Pocket Operator 32

 Today I wanted to do the reverse of the previous project: having the Arturia MicroBrute control the Pocket Operator 32. This is relatively easy (one video states it takes only 17 seconds) by just hooking up the MicroBrute's Gate Out to the Pocket Operator Sync In, but as I previously mentioned the issue here is that the output is 10V peak-to-peak and the input is 5V peak-to-peak maximum. It still works, which is great, but there have been reports of Pocket Operators freezing at certain battery levels and in general it isn't a good idea to run something out of specification.

Fortunately the circuit I made has a very lenient input, and can also be used to convert the 10V of the MicroBrute into the 5V necessary for the Pocket Operator. I plugged everything in, switched the PO-32 to sync mode 2, and everything worked fine.

You can see it working in the following video:
