Re: MCV24 alternatives

2007-08-31 by TacocaT

I'll start off by saying I as of yet have no personal experience with
midi 2 cv devices, however I did just purchase a kento pro solo off of
ebay. I eventually want 4 voice poly for my modular, the options for
this are:

Encore Expressionist (has 8 cv outs but does not allow for 4 voice
poly WITH velocity)
MOTM-650 This is a full featured 4 voice poly midi 2 cv, looks to be
the best out and it's in modular form, too bad i dont have a MOTM
PolyDAC this seems to be the cheapest of the 4 voice polys, i've not
heard bad things about it.. but it's 12bit DAC instead of the top
two's 16bit DAC

I think that does it for non discontinued 4 voice poly midi2cvs. I
chose the kenton as a single voice temporary solution. There's a
revised version called the pro solo mkII that has a few extra
features, then there's the kenton pro 2000 mkII which has 2 voices.
All these solutions are under $700.

Did i miss anything (non discontinued)?
