Re: A-190-5 Polyphonic Midi-to-CV/Gate Interface

2011-02-12 by Sidney

I wouldn't be playing polyphonic because the ADSR envelope would not be activated each time I touch a different note? Or maybe a new module similar to the A-143-2, with four inputs but only four knobs giving each voice the same envelope?   

Do you think that the A-190-5 Interface will be intended to control two or more 111-5 modules? If so, can their filters and envelopes be synced?

Sorry if I misunderstood something. I am trying to understand the multiple module function.
