Hey all. I'm looking for some insight and suggestions on a topic
that I think lots of you know lots about. <br>
<br>
I want to install a large analog/digital bridge in my synth system.
Something that lets me communicate back and forth between
computers(laptop, drum machines, etc) and analog synths....fluid <b>2
way</b> communication. The OPlab (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.teenageengineering.com/products/oplab">https://www.teenageengineering.com/products/oplab</a>)
is very much in the right direction but I want lots more I/Os. And
audio capabilities. <br>
<br>
The simplest approach would be a 2 way midi interface and a 2 way
audio interface. I hate making a distinction between audio and CV
but I haven't found an interface that does it all. <br>
And I do really like the idea of being able to utilize all of the
innovations out there that integrate MIDI. I haven't seen much in
the way of CV to midi converters but I could use one of the many DIY
midi controller kits (like this <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.midicpu.com/">http://www.midicpu.com/</a>) to do
this. I would have to make my own level converters to convert all my
CVs to 0-5VDC though...which maybe I'll do.....<br>
But I dunno.. maybe there's some other protocol I could use that
accepts midi (so i can utilize all the cool midi stuff out there)
but also allows full frequency communication between systems not
limited by midi restraints. (?!)<br>
<br>
Anyone have experience in this area that they want to share?<br>
Thanks!!<br>
-Pete!<br>
