Thomas Henry's MIDI-to-CV Connection

IMHO most Midi->CV converters really skimp on mono-mode features.

Another usefull thing that really helps in mono-mode is if note stacking is
implimented. I had to code this myself for my PAIA.

IE: If you press several notes simultaneously and then release the last one,
most MIDI->CV boxes forget all the previous held notes and just turn off the
gate.

With note stacking, if you can hold C and tap E, you will get a legato trill
between C and E because the unit remembers that you are still holding C.

Plus you can set up different priority algorithms for which note plays
(highest note, lowest note, last note etc.) I find last note priority to be
the most usefull/musical myself.
