Keep in mind that the Synth.com keyboard is not a ∗true∗ CV keyboard. It is
a MIDI keyboard with built-in MIDI-CV conversion. While it's very good for
the value (I have one...) there are limitations.
1. No left-hand performance controls of any kind.
2. Limited range - even running MIDI into it, you can't pitch bend ABOVE the
top note on the keyboard, or pitch-bend BEFORE the bottom note on the
keyboard.
Other that this, it's a great unit. However, if I had done a little more
research myself, I would have ended up with a small MIDI controller and a
separate MIDI/CV box...
