Re: [Doepfer_a100] Suggestion: Simple+cheap multiple MIDI CC to CV converter

2017-09-22 by Diego Ragnini

Me too once I believed this way, though frankly it seems that modular synthesis fellows usually keep themselves far away from the MIDI world… it shouldn’t be too hard to find someone available for mounting it for you. I ignored the existence of the MTV16 and might be interested in having one (assembled) for me !
Best, Diego
