MOTM

Hi Frank n All !

Hi Frank n All !

The Paia does not look too bad, if a fairly precise dac is used, or 
the hack with the 12bit dac is done (leave 4 lsb bit's at 0) .  This 
is the hack Harry mentioned .  And yes, use multiturn pots to 
calibrate .  Got an old Philip Rees M->CV, with simple trimpots on 
the front .  A pain to calibrate, and i had to leave the top shell 
off of the case, as the thing was seriously overheating and getting 
erratic .

Another diy solution could be :

Tony Allgood is on the diy-list, and pretty helpful .

Pic and pcb available, but the Omeg pots, well they're of UK origin, 
(www.maplin.com sells them-not the best of sources :) ) he even 
mounted it on a MOTM compatible sized panel . 12 bit this .

As a full kit the Paia is hard to beat for it's price .  You could 
get one of these now, and later use it as secondary controller, or as 
drum trigger with velocity .

I plan to get a couple of these, but i get by with what i got, right 
now (that Rees box, Kenton Pro One (Hz/V too), Roland MPU101) .  The 
usd is too high vs. the eur to go on a spending spree (MOTM excepted, 
of course ;-) ) .  So European stuff is cheap, right now .  Ok, ok, 
the ukp is not in the euro zone, and England is bloody expensive for 
us as well .  Hmm, where's the time records cost me less than half of 
Belgian prices, argggggg ...

Hope this helps .

Cheers .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
