It sure has a certain romance to tank MIDI entirely and trigger the modular from the V-Drums directly. It also sounds like solving the technical issues to get it to work in a performance setting would consume A LOT of time and money and, in the end, be re-inventing the wheel that Roland has spent years perfecting. I assume that Paul agrees with this since his silence after my original post was deafening. ;-) So now the technical problem is this: drum brains allow you to transmit any MIDI note you want, but they do not allow you to transmit the various pads on various MIDI channels. So I will need a MIDI to CV converter that allows me to split the MIDI stream based on MIDI notes. Will the MOTM-650 allow me to send MIDI note "x" to CV1 and MIDI note "y" to CV2 etc. when "x" and "y" are on the same MIDI channel? PLL, BFG PS: When does the MOTM-650 begin shipping? I ask this out of curiousity with no intent to torture poor 'ol Pauly.
