[sdiy] Identification of an unknown MIDI CV interface

[Ullrich Peter]

Hi Steve!

Thank you for the hint.  I built this PCB lots of years ago and used it for a midi controller (doesn't exist any longer).
I just had a look on the Elektor Collection CD - yes the article is stored there as PDF. About 1MB.

Ciao
Peter

It was also published in Elektor, February 1991, but with a different pcb layout.

Hi all,


I've goggled a bit and it seems this is a clone of the Doepfer MCV1, which apparently was published as a set of articles in

the German Magazine "Funkschau".

Maybe the original design on the etched PCB was a general purpose MIDI board (hence the matching firmware) and provided an 8 bit GPIO port, but disobeyed the rules and omitted the opto-isolator, so whoever used it added that as well as the DAC they needed for this design on the perfboard.

The etched PCB looks like a general purpose board. The MIDI stuff and the DAC are on the perf board.

That's what I was thinking too, but what is interesting is that the logo on the EPROM matches the one on the board.

So Hardware and Firmware seem to be from the same origin.

But the rest seems very bespoke and has a high home brew appeal.  This doesn't quite fit to me, because who

ever wrote the firmware would know what hardware to drive.





Best,

 René
