Velocity and modulation definitely, it would be nice if one other controller was available on an assigned basis (MIDI controller number switch selectable). (Channel) Aftertouch in particular would be nice... > Din-24 output ? What is this used by? > Price ? Well, obviously the cheaper the better. I would think less than $100US (and I have no idea if it's possible to build something like this for that amount).

Yes, I'd definately be interested. I've been looking for something to drive my micromoog. Oh, also something to drive the STRIG port on the micromoog based on the MIDI clock...

Din-24 output ? Price ? The reason for asking is that the converters currently on sale (in the UK anyway) all seem to be very expensive - the Kenton dual channel box weighs in at around 176 pounds, which is a lot of money if all you want to do is run your SH-101. Is anyone interested in a basic converter which has the following features: Din-24 sync output. CV/GATE output for pitch control. Velocity output. Switchable to act on any one channel. Hopefully to cost around 40-50 pounds. (I'm looking into decoding other controllers as well, let me know of any which you consider to be essential!) This is a separate box, not a retrofit... thanks for your time, john.. jat@ohm.york.ac.uk From tsines@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Mon Apr 12 22:58:25 1993 Received: by photon.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA19156; Mon, 12 Apr 93 22:57:22 -0400 Errors-To: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Sender: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Received: by photon.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA19149; Mon, 12 Apr 93 22:57:05 -0400 From: s i n e w a v e Message-Id: <9304130257.AA19149@photon.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> Subject: Re: 808's, 909's, 303's: How To Distribute Sync's?

(thus generating two output signals...MIDI and SYNC..) but you know that already. good luck.. sines -- /\ /\ _________________s i n e w a v e___________________ /\ /\ / \ / \ / todd sines: tsines@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu \ / \ / \ / \/ \/ 384 e17th ave, columbus, oh 43201 614 299 9529 \/ \/ \ analogue / analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu From analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Mon Apr 12 23:08:43 1993 Received: by bottom.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA04891; Mon, 12 Apr 93 23:08:16 -0400 Errors-To: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Sender: analogue-request@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Received: from cmp-rt.music.uiuc.edu by bottom.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (5.65/3.910213) id AA04886; Mon, 12 Apr 93 23:08:14 -0400 Received: by cmp-rt.music.uiuc.edu (AIX 2.1 2/4.03) id AA29689; Mon, 12 Apr 93 22:06:24 CDT From: dacc@cmp-rt.music.uiuc.edu (Andrew C.

Yup...cos Roland's DIN-sync is nothing like MIDI. If it were, you'd need a thru box or some similar doohickey. As it is, since it's just a plain old analog FSK signal, all you need to do is grab some raw 5-conductor cable, three male 5-pin plugs, and build a "Y" cord. Problem solved, and very cheaply, to boot. :) D.A.C. Crowell Computer Music Project/School of Music University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign (dacc@cmp-rt.music.uiuc.edu) --
