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

2006-09-29 by Bret

Kevin,
Don't know what to make of the -12v output on ring.  Not what I
expected, either.  I don't see much for cv to midi, mostly midi to cv. 
I have a kenton box that does that.  

So, looks like your first thought of the paia 9201fk MIDI Fader PROM
midi brain is a good choice.  It allows 0-5v input, and outputs into
'MIDI Control Change, Pitch Wheel and Channel Pressure messages'.

There are some DIY projects like

and more elaborate (multi channel) and expensive cv to midi

Good luck.
