[sdiy] MIDI VCO Control - but not CV?

[cheater cheater]

Hi guys,
Looking at the SDIY08 photos, I was wondering about MIDI2CV modules
and the problems they're (normally) having.

Wouldn't it be *much* easier to make a midi2trigger module, that would
then hardsync the VCOs?

You wouldn't necessarily get bad jitter, since the MCUs work at 10s of
MHz nowadays... that's enough resolution even for the best 'golden
ears' 8^)

This could also mean easier microtunings (?)

Are there any popular/interesting VCO designs that wouldn't work well
with being synced this way?



How extremely difficult would it be to make a filter track pitch like this?

Having asked that, a filter's pitch is nowhere near as important as a
VCO's, so it could probably use 'traditional' MIDI methods anyways :)

Just wondering what the synth diy gurus here think about this.

Cheers
