Re: A-195-1 Pitch-to-CV/Midi/USB

Hi Tony, 

Mostly I was just being snarky there, but I know over on Muffwiggler there have been many complaints about fried ASys modules in Doepfer racks, a complaint which I've not seen applied as often to any other manufacturer. Also, there's the caveat that using ASys modules with any other manufacturers' cases/power supplies voids the warranty.

I also don't like that the RS35 can not be used to input external audio for the purpose of further audio processing (no audio output); that it can ONLY be converted to CV. Seems like an easy bit of additional flexibility.

However, I don't know of any other Eurorack Pitch-CV converters; how does the tracking on the RS35?

Cheers,
Jon

However, a compressor also squares off the envelope greatly, which makes it less like a guitar envelope. But my suggestion is that a Pitch-CV converter will likely always be imprecise, and that's OK by me.
