[motm] MOTM/MIDI Part #2

Aaaaha, I can hear you saying, ooh this KBD stuff, what a hassle,
it would be so much simplier witha Midi to Cv interface to my
poly analogue! :-D........right?

Well, 4 CV and 4 Gates and additional 4 CV for velocy
after T can be implemented in the Vel CV channel,the
closest i can get to that spec is the Encore Midi CV!

Ooooor, the company that starts with and D!!!!!

>Other key assign modes like Unison/Share or the CS-synths'
>algorithm would be nice, too. But the really crucial point
>is immediate acess with dedicated switches, flicking a switch
>to change from rotate to reassign during the performance, or
>taking out 2 of 4 voices for a solo and switching them back
>in in a second afterwards.

>Will it ever happen ?  I *can* help myself with the original
>Obie circuit, but unfortunately without velocity. Why is it
>an either-or: (Modern controlles and shitty user interface)
>XOR (good old fashioned switches and bad old fashioned
>limitations) ??

One thing can be, "dudes in suits with a economical education"!!

Well i ran into this kind of problem too,and i believe that i have
to learn to program the damned PIC thing to get a polly CV. Urk!

>Ha, I had to say this once. (First time this year at least.)
>Why do the manufacturers not react ? Am I the only one who
>wants that ??

Manufacturers!

>I don't even need a box (and surely no 1/8" jacks), but *please*
>make the ports available for dedicated switches.

>Sorry for the crosspost to synth-diy. The midi interface topic
>just came up on MOTM list, and I have not yet given up hope
>to see it happen one day.

I was wery close to say "I could always ask Mr Wolf if he would be
so nice to do some poly function on the MCVD8x8 converter" but i
dont say that, because i dont think he is interested?

Maybe, if other people then me ask him about that!!!!!
