Subject: Re: [motm] Interest in a MOTM-102 module?

Well, what you're looking for and what is being discussed here are two totally separate things. This is a shift register and you want a sequencer.

The Milton does what you're looking for. I'm not sure what you mean by your milton vc out question... Its a voltage divider circuit, not a s&h. I also don't understand what you mean by the output being digital. Either way, these are inquiries best put to the Milton discussion group.

The miniwave is still available at blacet.com. Having said that, a synth tech quantizer module that accepts multiple inputs and outputs would be a dreamy addition to the 600 series (and would probably reuse the midi cvter software in part).

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?
