CV to MIDI Convertor

Post by 940nm »

I've seen plenty of boxes converting MIDI to CV but not really any taking CV signals and converting them to MIDI.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

It may be possible to get what you want. A quick search found a couple of possibilities but a lot depends on what you want to achieve.

For converting CV to MIDI CC you might look into MIDItools. And it is possible that the Moon Modular 552 module will do a lot more including generating MIDI note information.

And I am sure that I have seen digital oscillators that are polyphonic and have built in MIDI that may be able to do something for you.

I am sure that others will have some good suggestions too.

To get CV into a DAW, you could look at Silent Way.

Thanks for your help, I will take a look.

I'm using an Elektron Analog Four - which has CV outs driven by it's sequencer, which I would like to use to drive some NI Reaktor ensembles on my laptop.

Can you not use the Analog 4's midi out and thru and or USB to get info into the pc and 'talk' to your soft synth that way? Surely that's easier (and cheaper) than trying to get cv into a pc?

That would be the ideal way, but as far as I can see (analog four is in the post at the moment) the sequencer track only drives the CV not the MIDI or USB MIDI ports - which I new before buying, just seeing if I can use it elsewhere.

Might just be an excuse to buy another synth with CV inputs :)

I'm sure you'll be able to output midi via usb and/or din……..

BUT, I did have a nose around and found the following:
