Hey there

[Jim Johnson]

To the best of my knowledge, you won't find any MIDI to CV convertor
schematics out there. That's because such devices by their very nature
require software to parse the MIDI data stream, so you need a
microprocessor, ROM, code, and all the other attendant overhead of a tiny
computer system. It's not something the average DIYer can build from
scratch.

There are a couple kits for MIDI to CV, however - one by Paia and one by
Midwest Analog. I don't have the URLs handy (Paia's is easy -
http://www.paia.com) - a web search should turn up the other.

Good luck!
