hi joe,
o.k.,....now it's the perfect moment for me to
say:TOLD YOU SO...that's why the pitch to cv/midi
converter module would be so important for many a100
users!imagine what it would be like to be able to
actually PLAY the a100 vco's with a violin or a guitar
or any other acoustic instrument...or,even better,have
the a100 vco's "play" non pitched sounds like
drums/percussion and go nuts!so...what do you say is
the pitch to cv/gate/midi converter a very special
module or what ;-)
bakis.
by the way...about the a100 processing other
instruments:i have 4 A119 modules, because i like to
be able to process my other synths with the a100
filters,waveshapers,ringmods,etc.for example,i have
created some very interesting sounds by having one of
my a155's connected to the highpass filter cv input
and the vco's cv input of my MS20...and that's
happening because the MS20 have different vco's from
the a100, so you get very different sounds...
