Jeff,

Midi allows a 14 bit spec. for parameter values across a set of two messages
"coarse and fine".

Subject: [AH] control voltage was/ Keyboard in space


Since we are on the subject.  I understand the flaws in a midi setup. 1 to
127 is not a fine enough resolution for most modulation activities.  I
understand how wonderful the voltage concept is in its infinite resolution
(superstrings?).

I speak fluent midi but not a lick of control voltage.  I am very interested
in getting to know more about how to control this and modulate the equipment
that it was intended for.  I would love to know of some links to sites
online that deal with this subject in depth but also address the novice.

Like what is the easiest way to integrate this in a already midi heavy
studio?  Basicly I want to control my midi gear with midi and my voltage
gear with voltage.  I am not interested in translating midi cc# data into
voltages, that seems to miss the point to me.  I would still need to clock
everything to my midi rig.  At times I might feel like unclocking to midi
and seeing what happens, but this is needed.  This isn't a call for "what
should I buy?"  I realise only I can answer that, but more of a point me in
the right direction.

Hopefully this subject is of interest to more than just me :-)
