dcreatorx Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hi, I know this is not the right place to put this question, but I didn't find any other place for it so here we go : Is the MIDIbox CV a CV to midi converter ? IS already tested with a wide range of analog synths ? Thanks, and please don't doubt on change the wrong place of this question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogik Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 hi; no the MBCV is a MIDI to CV converter; with the original MBCV you have 8 cv out and 10 gatesyes it have been tested on several synths and works good!!if you want a cv to midi converter you can just build a midibox with an ain module, you put cv-inputs instead of pots!

dcreatorx Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 And what kind of utility you have with MIDI to CV ? I mean . . What is the point of transforming midi data to voltages ? Can you sync that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illogik Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 ??to me it's one of the best things here; i have/build various analog gear, but i have midi synths too so i work with midi seqencers.analog gear is controlled by gates (and triggers) and control voltages, what a midi>cv converter does is it converts note/on off messages to gates, and notes/cc's/other data to control voltagesso now you can not only sync, but also fully secuence and control an analog synth. Even further, together with a midicontroller like for instance a MB64 and some extra circuitry you could even make an interface to make presets for your analog gear!

dcreatorx Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Ok so you mean that it's better to build a MIDI to CV because you can control lots of parameters of you analog gear, and you can save midi sequences as patches, right ?

illogik Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 keep in mind these are different things, so i can't say if one is better.midi to cv is for when you want to control analog/voltage controlled equipment with midicv to midi is for when you want to modulate/control midi parameters by voltages (sensors or analog lfo's /keyboards for instance)and you can save midi sequences as patches, right ?kinda; i meant you can sequence analog equipment with midi. and if you have a midicontroller wich can hold different setups (like mb64 or some seqencers) and a midi>cv you can program patches for the analog gearbut to give you a straight answer; if you have analog gear/synths and you want to control them with digital gear; build a MBCV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcreatorx Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Ok, so now I stand. Thanks for the information . . . Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
