No title link, Just an awesome tip from Brian Comnes:"I was re-working my rack this weekend and I looked at the back side of my Novation BassStation Rack (haven't looke back there for 2 years) and I noticed MID/CV ports on the back so I got out the manual and sure as shit this thing is a switch hitter, it goes MIDI to CV and CV to MIDI and it supports HZ/Volt and Volt/Oct to boot
given that these things can be had for $100 or so on eBay , they are a bargain if you consider that you also get a 2 osc monosynth in the package"
Note this does not apply to the Novation BassStation keyboard.
Update via Bill in the comments:
"You can do this with a Pulse Plus as well. I think they go for about 250$ + you get real analog oscillators and filters."
Update via Brian Comnes:
"the relevant sections in the bass station manual are on page 18 of this link."

ReplyDeleteThanks. I was wondering about that as well.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I saw a Pulse Pulse for sale it was $450. And they are hard to come by too. Even the regular Pulse synths sell for $350+.
ReplyDeleteI can't speak for the Pulse, but there are two things that I love about the MIDI/CV converter on the BassStation Rack. First, it is addressable on an seperate MIDI channel from the monosynth. Second, it also does Hz/octave and S-trigger conversion in addition to the more common volt/octave.
