Ever consider the Doepfer MCV24 instead?

Subject: [analogue-sequencer] Designing a MIDI/CV for use with P3


Oaky, Ive got the boards and parts for this MIDI/CV of mine.  Its 
Paux Maddox's/Oakley/Elby designs  poly DAC 4 voice monster job.

http://www.oakleysound.com/polydac.htm

    Now its panel layout time.  Id like to ask y'all a question.  
what would YOU do?  What features would you want for a modular/P3 
combination.  My modular (16 Blacet modules) can be set up as two 
voices, and while it is inevitable that it will grow in the future, 
its not changing for at least a year.  

Electrically it is a four channel unit with poly and mono modes.  Ive 
got a 2u frack (single normal width module) space for this!  Channel 
one takes up like half the panel, and I have channel two's three 
jacks fitting no problem.  I have squeezed channel three's gate on 
there too.  


  Now my initial question is this.  would you rather have:

A - an extra comparator (knob + jack + led) off one of channel one's 
four aux (cc) outs, making a total of three gate outs and two 
comparators.

or instead of this second comparator tied to one of voice one's aux 
outs, 

B - Channel four's gate on the panel.  (making a total of four gate 
outs and one comparator)

Im trying to think about the pros / cons of each, and basically the 
comparators will give me gates based on a cv level, but I can program 
another tracks gates to do the same thing. . and end up a bit more 
flexible maybe.  

My MIDI/CV experience in the modular world is limited to a few years 
with a cv keyboard and a Kenton Pro-Solo, so all the options here are 
glitching me out a bit.  On top of this, for the size of my system 
this thing is going to be overkill regardless, but I still want to 
plan it as best as I can, based on P3 use.


Channel one on this converter has:
note,
velocity,
gate,
pitch bend,
modwheel,
aftertouch,
and sustain pedal outs.
PLUS the four assignable CC outs.  This is looking a bit 
excessive...              I could probably drop aftertouch and 
sustain pedal outs and squeeze another note,velocity, gate voice in 
place ?  Id like to keep PB and Modwheel for nice keyboard use though.

Basically this circuit has a very large potential and Im trying to 
fit as much as I can onto a panel, and going for maximum 
flexibility.  
Any PerFOURmer users out there want to chime in regarding MIDI/CV and 
P3?  
Howabout all of my fellow modular addicts?  What are you 
doing/using/wishing for?  In the P3 which CC's are easiest/ 
quickest / most often used by you guys?

Sorry for all the questions!!
Thanks for any and all input
~Steve
