I use a control voltage to adjust the delay setting of the Memory Man TT in my mixing studio.
This CV is generated in my DAW and is output via the D/A converter.

I have made some TRS to TS adapters to essentially “ignore” the ring connection at the DAW end (which would produce a negative DC voltage, and have a similar adapter plugged into the MM “EXP” jack – to ignore the DC voltage provided there for passive expression pedals.

It would be nice to avoid using a second adapter at the MM end.

Question: Is it safe to short the ring to ground by using a TS plug in the EXP jack?

I suppose I can measure the voltage drop across a load to determine the output resistance of the signal at the ring connection, but I’d like to avoid an increase in current consumption or any potential damage to the pedal by presenting a dead short at that teminal.

Any technical details about the DC source here would be helpful.
