Hi. Opitec seems to be a UK-based company. Anyway, those are a good value for money (£0,28). I pay ?1,35 each for the same pots. But I don't recommend to use those: OK, a long plastic stem, but it has to be shortened as it's kind of wobbly. Those also have "strange" feel, even after lubricating with CRC ;) It's hard to make small adjustments accurately. Ok, hope this helped, Samppa

Yes, but not only patch matrix, also VCO, VCF, (VC)ADSR, VCA ect. ect. controlled by AOUT dac.. Midiboxes Pots, switches ect. as control surface, providing Control Voltages and Gates ect. to each module. :) This could provide full control of analog synth, with memory storage and automation :) But back to original request for comments: Maybe Thorsten could provide some information what he has on his mind?! Things that I have in mind: dac resolution: What is suitable resolution, so control of analog modules would be smooth?! (and is data type supported by MIOS?) dac latency: How long dac conversions are going to take? voltage levels: What is going to be voltage range? How easy is it to adapt to, for example 0-10v range to control VCO's with note data with precision? Anyway, comments welcome!! moebius

Hi there, Control Freaks (tm;)! I saw this thread from the forum: http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=concepts;action=display;num=1061679353 And started to wonder what to expect from AOUT module and what should be expected. As more into a synth-diy side of things I think this might be a breakthrough for building homebrew instruments with MIDI control AND patch storage. Pheww!! So before Thorsten makes his miracles again ;) I think those with interests in using midibox for MIDI to CV or other similar things (midi controllable modular synth anyone? With patch storage?!) should throw some comments in to make it as easy as possible to interface AOUT module to the world of analog synths! t. Moebius, Samppa Tolvanen p.s. I hope that some analog electronics wizard starts designing that "Universal Voltage Controlled Pot Replacement" ;)
