<font size=3>The Sound Canvas module was created to go with my
PSIM. I added MIDI in and out and found that driving a Sound Canvas
was quite interesting. One of the things I never explored in MIDI
was rapid changes of instruments. After playing with it for a while
I decided to MOTM'ize this as well. Unsoldering the components was
a real pain.<br><br>
If you look at this directory there are some PSIM to Sound Canvas (sc7)
samples.<br>

cv2midi(sc7).mp3 is just various LFOs driving note, velocity, and program
change<br><br>
cv_cycles(sc7).mp3 is just cycling through program changes<br><br>
sequenced_sc7.mp3 is using a state sequencer to drive a pattern with
sub-dividers controlling program changes.<br><br>

I have to say that you have made possibly the coolest DIY MOTM module
ever. <br>
No, not the PAIA MIDI2CV module, not the Blacet adaptations -- but this
one: <br>

You now have a ready answer for anyone who ever looks skeptically at your
<br>
modular synth and asks "can it make a good piano
sound"?<br><br>
I think you should get one of those new Kenton CV-to-MIDI circuit boards
and piggy-back it onto the SC-7 board. Then you could completely
eliminate the MIDI input jack from <br>
the front panel of that module, replacing it with eight CV input jacks,
taking <br>
things full-circle back to the 1970's!<br><br>
