MIDI to CV options

2001-05-20 by John Broaddus

Hello,

I have just finished my first module and it works!  I didn't screw anything
up (that I know of).  Thanks for the advice for fitting the pots through the
front panel.

I now have a question about MIDI to CV converters.  I've read about a few
different options and am wondering what I might be missing if I go with a
more inexpensive model.  It seems that the Encore Electronics and Kenton
models are the most fully featured but they are a bit expensive (and I'm
already looking around the house to see what I can sell to get more modules)
so I'm wondering about the JKJ CV-4 or the Oakley Midi/DAC.

What are the advantages/disadvantages?  Is it better to hold out for the
more full featured models or could I get along with a less expensive one.

Initially I will only use the converter as CV for processing modules and
won't be controlling VCO's for a few months at the earliest.

Thanks for any advice!

John Broaddus
