hi bakis, precise pitch to cv is difficult to achieve. i like using
the ms-20 pitch2cv for modifying drum loops or using the voltage for
other vc effects. i can appreciate the fact that they are not
precise, this gives whatever you are applying the voltage to a
quirkiness which sometimes brings nice results and sometimes not. add
to the fact the voltages in the ms-20 are linear, when you bring them
into exponential machines you get wierd results. if you are using a
scaling processor you could come up with different timbres and sounds
when applying that voltage for fm or lin fm. the idea is to
experiment, nothing is etched in stone , break the rules you might be
rewarded with sounds or treatments that are unique.

i can't begin to tell you how great the A112 module is. you can come
up with some crazy sounds if you have at least 2 A112's. cross
modulating them and mixing very slow lfo's in combination is a whole
new avenue of sounds and throw in a little waveshaping and you're
grooving. now add some pitch2cv from say a voice or use the voice
through the A129/1 to control the vca with a slow lfo as the signal
to modulate either or the A112's and you will get some different
sounding timbres. avoid using filters with these sounds and try using
waveshaping to give it an edge. phew.

now where's that analog multi step tracking generator a la matrix12
that i have wanted forever in an analog modular format. hint, hint :)


happy modulating,
RM
