bakis,
well, you certainly should be able to use a quantizer to modify the output
c.v. to a normal scale. my interest in the "interval fingers" was partially
based on giving the controller a more authentic, "retro" feel and also on the
fact that it would ease finding where the correct spot(s) on the ribbon for
selected notes are. as normal scale use isn`t what i have in mind for this
unit, exact intervals aren`t a primary concern for me ( i mostly do noise /
algorithmic / process automated / random stuff ). i do plan, however, on
using the unit as my primary manual controller for my modular ( along with
sequencers, joysticks and theremin controllers ). have never been a big midi
fan..........
best,
dave
