CV to midi converter? (NOT midi to cv)

23 Jul 2008, 17:03

Do any of you guys know a site where I can buy a CV to MIDI converter? I don't mean a MIDI to CV converter, unless it can be used in reverse. I'm looking to use the second sequencer in an MC-202 to control a D-550 or some other MIDI synth. I've found a couple of sites who offer schematics for DIY units, but I can't seem to find anyone who is actually selling a complete CV to MIDI converter. I could follow one of the shematics to make my own, but I don't want to get into buying a PIC burner and programming software and what-not if I can help it. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Acid:

It seems as though your needs would be best-served by a full MIDI retrofit. This can be expensive, so of course you will need to weigh the pros and cons of such an endeavour.

I would start by contacting two companies that come to mind -- Kenton in the UK, and StudioElectronics in the US. You can find their web sites easily enough on your favorite search engine. I have conatacted those guys over the years, and each has been helpful.

Let us know what you come up with. I'd be curious to know if you can find what you are looking for.
