Re: [200e] Microtonality and the 200e

2006-10-09 by Alex Pi

Yes, I also thought of using the Voltage Converter.
This means that the converter will send v/octave information to the  
200e oscillators in order to control their pitch.
Do they have a 1.2v/oct input or they use only the MIDI notes form  
its own MIDI/USB module?
Have you used the continuum already?
Is the situation problematic as it is?
