Hi Max
Thanks for your time; Max/Msp controls the three different simultaneous tempos that I
want to use, but the idea was that it also should send midi/cv to my Moogerfooger/
doepfer set up. The main sound of this music is the saxophone and the drums being
modulated by the analog gear.

I have decided that I want to use the 4 Aux sends options my mixer has and route them to
my modular set-up.
This decision has made my life a bit easier or has it
Now a have to control the sends as well, when playing the music live.....

Anyway, I think (!) I have decided to buy this:
A 115
A 134 x 2
A 118
A 136
A 106-1
A 190

This should bring four audio signals into the modular system and convert midi to cv.
I'm not quite how to send the signal back to the mixer...
I have been reading many manuals, but it's still new to me.
Thanks.
Simon
