Re: [Doepfer_a100] midi to cv?

2004-10-13 by ALMAGATA@telefonica.net

Hi Florian,

I think you are missing the "king" of the MIDI-CV converters, the 
encore expressionist:

http://www.encoreelectronics.com/cont_expres.html

I own a expressionist and a Kenton Pro-2000 along the Doepfer A190, the 
expressionist is the best by far...

Best Regards,

Josue.
