Hi list,

I'm building a MIDI2CV that could play MONO (last note priority)
or POLY (max of 6 CV's / Gates)..
Here is the list of my 1/4" output jacks functions:

Poly mode:
6 X Gate outs (Gate1..Gate6)
6 X CV's outs (CV1..CV6)
6 X velocity outs (V1..V6)

Mono mode:
Gate1 out is used for last mono note played
CV1 out is used for last mono note played
Velocity 1 out is used for last mono note played
Velocity 2...6 used for the following order purposes:
Pitch Bend  Ok
Mod wheel Ok
After touch  <------- I need help on that
CC?      <------- I need help on that
CC?      <------- I need help on that

In the Channel Voice Messages list I found:

Polyphonic Key Pressure (Aftertouch)
3 bytes 1010nnnn , 0kkkkkkk , 0vvvvvvv
1010nnnn Polyphonic Key Pressure status byte;   nnnn (0-15) = MIDI channel 
1-16
kkkkkkk Note number (0-127)
vvvvvvv Pressure value (0-127)

Channel Pressure (Aftertouch)
2 bytes 1101nnnn , 0vvvvvvv
1101nnnn Channel Pressure status byte;   nnnn (0-15) = MIDI channel 1-16
vvvvvvv Pressure value (0-127)

---> What is the good Aftertouch  to chose from in MONO mode???

---> What Continous controler numbers do you suggest for my 2 CC's outs? 
CC1, CC2, CC7 ???
         I guess there must be some numbers much often used than others...

Thanks
JP
