Subject: V-Drums with modulars Redux

From: "Greg Amann" <greg.amann@...>

It sure has a certain romance to tank MIDI entirely and trigger the
modular from the V-Drums directly. It also sounds like solving the
technical issues to get it to work in a performance setting would
consume A LOT of time and money and, in the end, be re-inventing the
wheel that Roland has spent years perfecting. I assume that Paul
agrees with this since his silence after my original post was
deafening. ;-)

So now the technical problem is this: drum brains allow you to
transmit any MIDI note you want, but they do not allow you to transmit
the various pads on various MIDI channels. So I will need a MIDI to
CV converter that allows me to split the MIDI stream based on MIDI
notes. Will the MOTM-650 allow me to send MIDI note "x" to CV1 and
MIDI note "y" to CV2 etc. when "x" and "y" are on the same MIDI channel?

PLL, BFG

PS: When does the MOTM-650 begin shipping? I ask this out of
curiousity with no intent to torture poor 'ol Pauly.
