the problem is, most people only have one type MIDI to CV converter,
I made the PolyDAC (on Oakleysound.com) because none of them did what I
wanted, which was to be a good simple to use polyphonic Midi to CV converter
(with a choice of poly modes)..

The polyDAC, aswell as being polyphonic, also offers the chance to have 4
monophonic Channels of Midi->CV conversion. each 'voice' has its own Note
CV, Gate and Velocity CV.
and a big mono mode, where all 4 'voices' play the same note.
through in 4 more CV's for global aftertouch, pitchwheel, mod-wheel and
sustain CVs.
and finally, there are 4 assignable CVs (so you can route your favourite
midi CC to them)

They seem to be selling well so I guess I must've done something right :-)
