I've been thinking a lot about how to do pitch CV quantizing. Being as
it is the case that I'm new to the analog modular, and far more trained
in software engineering than hardware, I probably have some of this
wrong, so I ask that you forgive me for that, and take what I say
without much authority.
For my purposes, pre-programmed scales would be useless. The long
duration accuracy being discussed deeper in this thread turns me off
too. What I've decided I really want is a VC sequencer that steps
through it's stages not once every time a square CV drops, but smoothly
as a saw shaped CV goes from zero all the way up. A triangle CV would
make the sequencer go back and forth, etc.. With one of these, you
could quantize pitch CVs into whatever other arbitrary set of pitch CVs
you wanted.
I think the Milton sequencer can do this. I'm not sure how stable a
Milton can hold it's output CV over time. It also seems like the CV out
of the Milton is digital, and it's not clear to me what resolution that
has. I have some Milton boards and preprogrammed PICs, but getting
front panels and stuffing the boards properly is a little daunting given
that I don't really completely know what I'm doing.
What's the output CV resolution on the Miniwave, and can you still get
them?
