I have one of the Paia Fracracks and it is fine for studio work,
definitely gets the job done. I dont know if I'de tour (not that
I ever tour) with it because it is so light, but this stuff is all
pretty delicate anyway soooo.. <br>

<br>Man I love the choices we have today in modular. And, you may find in<br>addition to your DIY you like some of John's kits. They are unique, always<br>fun and a good value.<br><br>> And PAIA compatable. Their midi-to-cv module has always looked good to me.
<br><br>In this case, you do get what you pay for. I own two of the PAiA MIDI 2<br>CV8s. They are 8 bit resolution. I'd say plenty good for controlling a<br>mono synth or perhaps two voice. If you get into polyphonic operation, you
<br>might want something a little better. I have a Kenton pro-2000 which I<br>really do like. I am waiting patiently for the MOTM MIDI2CV also.<br><br>> Oh and one thing: The Blacet Frac-Rack package is something like $60 the
