MOTM

So here's the question:  Why don't we have CV-Out boxes with knobs on 
them instead of MIDI CC Boxes.  Midi CCs are really low resolution 
from what I know, you get, what, 128 or 256 levels?  That's one nice 
zipper effect.  Rather than getting a MIDI Controller box, a MIDI->CV 
converter, and a lag processor to smooth out the zipper effects, why 
not just make a nice MOTM format CV controller box?

All you'd need was a box with 8 knobs on it, or 4 knobs and 4 
sliders, or whatever.  the box would have a 9 pin DIN connector or 
something like that, and a 1U panel on the other end with the same 
connector.  The panel would have 8 jacks plus the DIN connector.  One 
pin would send +15V to the box, and the rest could be returns.  You 
might put a selector above or below the knobs to set the range (0-5, 
0-10) to be nice.

Wouldn't this be infinitely greater than having a midi CC box?  It 
would aslo be great fun to patch into weird modular sequencers, of 
course.  Granted, one might ask "Why have knobs on a modular, it's 
already loaded with knobs?"

I can think of a million reasons, but one of the best is that some 
people might not want to reach through the patch cable jungle in the 
middle of a performance.  A performance controller would be great, 
and making it all CV would be wonderfull.

Heck, if you were really nice, you could make it have a smallish 
keyboard, too, but that'd be too much, probably.

Comments would be appreciated.
