John,

In principle it will work with any software that accepts HID devices
(joysticks, gamecontrollers etc.). So in theory you could be playing a
videogame controlled with your Doepfer ;-)

Unfortunately I don't know any other musicsoftware besides the 2
previously mentioned pieces of software that recognise HID devices. It
is however possible to write a standalone application with Max/MSP (so
I could make that and anyone else can run that on their machines
without having to own max) that could sent the data output to the
internal midi bus of your computer... but that would be a bit strange
won't it

The uses: well in live performance it might be nice to be able to use
a few of Doepfer's nice input devices like the A174 joystick, A178
Theremin or even the A179 light controlled CV source. Process the
output from those devices with other Doepfer modules and then send it
to your computer. The niceness is that because of the 10 bit
resolution it will be so much smoother than using that ancient horrid
midi protocol (which is 7bit btw. ).

On recording CVs: Great method. I'm also still searching for a valid
way to do this.
I'm currently working on a new composition where I will be using a few
CV's that will be created in ProTools by drawing a volume curve over
white noise. I will transfer those curves to CV with the A119.
Primitive, yes!
There are better ways of doing this but....Will I be whining for a
frequency demodulator again I don't think Doepfer will ever be
making that A195 --snif--

Then a few questions for Dieter.. This OEM board. Will this be a midi
interface or a HID device What will be the resulting data in the
computer Will it be full 8 bit (so not like midi 7bit + control bit)


Greetings,

Ernst
