My CV-5 is here finally, boy....what a nice box for the money!
Highly recommended

Love the midi syncable LFO!
Highly recommended

I've had a JKJ CV-5 since May, have only 
used the cv and gate outputs so far. Kyle 
said I should also be able to use the 
sliders on my Alesis QS7 to output at the 
C16/C17 jacks, assuming I can figure out 
how to set the sliders to cc16/17! It's 
buried in the menus somewhere, and I 
haven't had the time or patience to try it. 
If it works, that would make a nice 
"remote control" for things like '320 rate/
shape, tuning/detuning the '300s during 
performance, ect. When I first got the 
CV-5, I slapped a Micronta DVM (Paul's 
fave) on the CV out and saw a 2mv drift 
during the first 5 minutes, after that it 
was steady as a rock. I plan to install 
mine inside my box o' MOTM and make a 
breakout panel for it.

If you or I come up with any ideas/
questions, we should probably take it off-
list, but feel free to write me.
