Re: [SPELLBOUND-L] Want to convert CVs to Midi

2006-09-27 by Bret

Kevin,
If you want to use a CV to control the breath controller inputs of your
Keyboard, I think you are better of staying with an analog signal,
rather than a midi conversion due to midi's limited resolution, speed,
and likely not required.

I am researching the breath controller specs, but so far the best I can
find is 0v = 0 pressure, and I am not sure about that.  It seems to be
a dc voltage proportionate to pressure input, but I can't find a spec,
yet.

See if the manual for your keyboard indicates the breath controller
input voltage range.  My guess is the cv out from theremax/epro and
breath controller input are compatible, but that is a just a guess at
this point.
