Subject: PAiA MIDI/CV description, commen

I really appreciate the analogue.heaven readers that took the time to explain
to me the difference between a newsgroup and a mail list.  I have decided to
take the advice of those who suggested I wait to subscribe until I was in
position to keep up with the large volume of traffic on this list. I have
also been asked to post some information on PAiA's new MIDI/CV replacement
for the discontinued MV8.  I hope that readers with the time and interest
will comment on the following canned text that I have been sending to email
requests for information: 
---------------------------------------------------
PAiA is developing a new 8 output MIDI/CV card. Each output can be either a
Control Voltage or Gate and cards can provide either exponential CVs that
work with PAiA, Korg and Yamaha or linear to be compatible with the rest of
the world.  Ouput voltage or gate signals appear on the tip of a 1/4" stereo
phone jack with the ring connected to an open collector transistor for MOOG
type "S" or other wired-or triggers.  In it's initial configuration there
will be a number of DIP swicth selectable options such as pitch and gate for
four synths; pitch, velocity, pitch wheel and gate for 2 synths; CVs from
continuous controller messages and so on.  We will be offering a software
upgrade shortly after introduction to allow sys-ex assignment of any
appropriate MIDI data to any output. More than eight outputs can be realized
by daisy chaining muliple cards using their MIDI Thru jacks. The card's form
factor will be approx. 3-1/2 X 4-1/2 inches and will require 12VAC 150mA
power. Target price of the card is $100. A rack case that will hold two cards
will also be available. This as yet unnamed product will be available in
about February of '95.  There is a good chance that it will appear as a DIY
article in Electronic Musician magazine, but one never knows about these
things until they actually happen. Since design is not completely out of the
conceptualization phase, now is a particularly good time to contribute any
comments or suggestions.
