This module idea may have been posted before, if so here it is
again. I would love a CV to MIDI Note converter. I think the A-192
does a great job at providing continuous MIDI streams from CV but
what I would like is Note events. I see the module being very simple
in function. It would have a CV in for Pitch, Velocity, and
Modulation depth (almost all midi synths can handle these) and a Gate
in. When the module sees the rising edge of the gate it samples the
CV inputs and makes a Note ON MIDI message accordingly. When the gate
goes low it makes the correct Note OFF. The MIDI channel can be set
via a dip switch (either on the PCB inside or poking through the
panel - a cheap solution). The CV input ranges would be standard 1V/
Oct for pitch and full positive Doepfer range for the others (these
are commonly scalable on the MIDI module end). A added bonus input if
affordable would be a continuous CV in for MIDI channel volume but
this could be provided by patching the MIDI out into the MIDI in of a
A-192. This would be a MONO device and only do one note at a time. It
could have a MIDI in that could merge and allow multiple units to be
stacked for POLY functions. The most common use for me would be to
set it next to a A-155 (build your own MAQ) or a LFO/A-148 (wild
appegios/scales). Anyway, I would love one or more in my rig to do
more CV control of my MIDI gear.
