Re: [motm] kenton midi to c/v converters

I'm considering getting a kenton midi to c/v converter
as advertised on synthtech, but i see some possible
difficulties that i might encounter with one.

I see that the rackmount versions have the outputs on
the rear. On my current rack, I would need some kind
of breakout module to interface it efficiently. Has anyone
made one of these before?
--------
James,  You did not say which Kenton.  I have a pro-2000 and I did my
breakout right on the rack ears.  You cannot get everything there, but you
can get all that I use right now.  I am attaching a low-res photo since it
is coming to the group.  If you want something hi-res from front and back I
would be happy to send it to you.  The 5 connections on the right are MIDI
IN, CVA, CVB, Gate A, and Gate B.  On the left you have the 6 aux assignable
voltages.
--------
The only reason I ask, is that I would assume that someone
would have come up with a breakout panel for one by now.
If there is anyone who had extra panels made, please let me know.

# 1 Stooge Moe Bradley did make one for the Expressionist.  Ever
since then, I have thought that we should have one for the Kenton-2000
and maybe pro-4 if we have any pro-4 users.  Sometime hopefully in early
2001, Dave and are a talking about another run of panels.  We need to
do more 822 and 831s since I sold 70 of those PCBs.  We have been
taking input from others on what should be included.  We can consider
a pro-2000 breakout panel if others are interested.
