Combining MIDI and CV To Create Semi-Modular Functionality In Your Synths
In this video from Youtuber loopop, we learn how a regular synthesizer can be extended to provide semi-modular functionality through the use of converting MIDI to CV and vice versa.
From information provided in the video’s description, we learn about the various gear that is used in the video:
*** Non-semi-modular gear used:
- Digitone by Elektron for its FM engine and effects
- Medusa by PolyEnd and Dreadbox for its XYZ expressive grid
*** Modules used for MIDI to CV and back:
- Disting MK4 and General CV from Expert Sleepers (with their MIDI expander module)
- Aither from Instruo
- Hermod from Squarp
- Poly from PolyEnd
- Pamela’s New Workout from ALM (with its MIDI expander module)
*** Audio attenuation and amplification:
- Voicas Mixvert8r
- SBG from ALM
*** Interesting Eurorack modules shown:
- Rene 2 from Make Noise
- Ornament and Crime
- Plaits and Rings from Mutable Instuments
As you can see, there are many features that synthesizers are capable of that aren’t immediately apparent to us! If you enjoyed this video and are interesting in exploring more useful synthesizer videos, you can visit loopop’s Youtube channel.
