Subject: RE: [motm] CV Keyboards

You may have to DIY it yourself. When I built my original EMu modular from
submodules, I bought the digital board for the mono keyboard, and wired it
up to a Pratt and Reed keyboard myself. The circuit for the Emu kbd is
probably available somewhere. It was much stabler than resistor chains, had
the variable lin/exp portamento like the new MOTM Lag Processor, and had a
neat feature where you could switch the bottom octave to separate gate
outputs. I don't believe it had a microprocessor, but I could be wrong.
