Re: Experience using MCV4 with A100?

2002-04-28 by buechlerjoe

Thanks for the information, keld. Instead of using the mod wheel, is 
it possible to set the MCV4's bend range to zero, and pick up the 
pitch bender CV from one of the assignable jacks instead?

It's kind of a bummer anyway, because my slew limiter tends to get 
used up already, smoothing out the 8-bit zippering from the A190/191.

Perhaps I'm being foolish. If I added up all of the money that I'd 
end up having invested in the A190, A191, and MCV4, maybe the MCV24 
isn't looking so expensive. I'd get my slew limiter back. I could 
also use the MCV24's software envelopes instead of limping along with 
only one ADSR for the second voice. Replacing the A190/191 would also 
"buy back" 22U of A100 frame space, which I could use for other 
things, like maybe to add another VCO, mixer, and VCA.

I'll have to think about this some more. Comments are welcome.

Joe
