G2 -> CV

[Steven Taylor-2]

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Analogue Systems modular synth in the next few
weeks. I'd like to sequence and control this to some degree using my G2,
probably with and a Kenton Pro2000.

I know I remember people talking about this back in the mists of time so
I'd like to hear peoples experiences of doing this stuff.

For example can you generate really snappy envelopes going G2 Midi -> CV
converter? I'm guessing the midi data rate/resolution and voltage slew of the CV
converter are the big factors in this.

Also (and this is perhaps veering into off topic territory..) am I right
in thinking a regular CV output from something like the Kenton be made
to perform as a gate or trigger? i.e if you just send it a single pulse
from the G2?

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steven.
I am using a Doepfer MC24 for driving an analog modular system. I have no
experience using it for snappy envelopes, but I guess it is related to the
resolution of the midi/CV converter. And I have not noticed any problems
using the Doepfer machine.
The CV out can double as gate/trig out by biasing the G2 gare/trig out with
a - 64 value from the constant module, using a two channel mixer. It works
on the Doepfer interface, I guess it will do the same with the Kenton
interface.
I would recommend the Doepfer MC24 as a good piece of gear. It is has a
intuitive interface, and internal LFOs and envelopes that can expand the
number of modulation sources if you need. It can deliver Hz/volt (Metasonix
VCO, for exemple) and has never shown any signs of trouble. It van be used
for multi channel mono as well as polyphonic keyboard action.

Hi Per,

Thanks for your reply.
Yeah I've been looking at the MCV24 and also the Encore  
Expressionist.. which certainly beat the Kenton in terms of outputs.
I do like Kenton stuff though. The MCV24 doesn't come up for sale  
very often though.

I had heard that the MCV24 had a fiddly interface, which obviously  
you don't agree with.
Can the parameters of the MCV24 Envelopes and LFOs be modified by  
midi cc's?

Hi Steve.
I have never dived deep into those questions, as I have enough LFOs and
Envelopes in the moduls. But the manual is for free download at
www.doepfer.de so you can check it out. I have nothing but good things to
say about the Doepfer MCV24, but in this world of gear, everybody seems to
have an opinion. Maybe it comes from the Doepfer MAQ 16/4 sequencer, thas
the worst interface I have ever met. It was som bad that I sold my mine, and
bought an Analogue Systems Oberkorn II instead.
