The synth.com CV out keyboard is the only ∗new∗ one made. I use a Roland 184
CV controller
that's the guts of a JP-6 without sound. These are kind of rare. But fun in
a limited way (cute arp.)
Be aware that ∗any∗ old CV Out synth (SH- series, etc) AND the synth.com
version use 10 or 12-bit
DACs, and they are NOT accurate enough to drive say 3 MOTM VCOs in 'perfect'
tuning over 5 octaves.
There is a BIG difference in these 15 yr old CV outs and a new Expressionist
or Pro-2000. The synth.com
uses a 1/2LSB 12-bit DAC which is OK for driving 1 VCO by itself.
