The reason I mention this is because I was surfing about recently and came upon a page for Tidal electronics (which I thought was totally defunct) and I remember "Theo" and "Tidal" and his yellow "Step-One" sequencer. Anyone else remember this thing? It was similar to the P3 (midi,pattern,multi track) but it had a CV out board for 4 tracks, each with note,gate,veloc and one other (I forget).. anyway it never made it to production and I wanted it so bad back then (4/5 yrs ago) in my modular days.. now just recently i'm back at the modular thing and having the converter and sequencer in one piece would definitely be cool. I would want two tracks worth of outputs, or about 8 jacks. Any more would probably be overkill for 90% of users.. perhaps they all could be freely assignable to whatever, or make 3 just for gates/triggers and the other 5 for cv's.. maybe these could be semi modular in that if you wanted 4 tracks worth of cv-outs, you buy two boards, 6 tracks, buy 3, etc.. I realize that the P3's micro is pretty much maxed out so it would have to be more or less a set and forget add in. I guess in that case, why not just get a midi/cv behind a modular panel? yeah yeah I know, its probably the best thing anyway.. I just look at all that empty space in the case! thinking out loud here. . . midi-cv for modulars I think the analouge systems RS140 is a nice implementation of midi/cv for modular use. Assignable outs and assignable output range for those outputs. Very configurable is the key here, and it has a display of its own. 64 setup memories too.. well Ill have a solution of my own regardless, probably a decent unit or two behind a panel in my system.. later ~Steve
