[sdiy] USB to CV

[Steve Begin]

I was kind of just throwing an idea other there, but mostly thinking of 
maybe trying to write something that can be loaded as a vst to control the 
usb interface.  I don't know much about vst architecture though so maybe 
that isn't at all feasible.

I know usb > midi >cv is doable but in the true spirit of diy i was thinking 
of looking for a much more difficult and probably more expensive in the long 
run solution.
