JKJ CV-5 midi to CV converter

via this auction
"This is a great midi to control voltage converter that allows analog synthesizers and other modular devices to be controlled by a midi keyboard, rhythm machine, or sequencer. The CV-5 works with any monphonic analog synthesizers which conform to the 1 Volt per octave or Hertz per Volt scale standards. The unit can be confiigured by sending midi program changes. The CV-6 goes well beyond most simple midi-to-CV converters and offers high quality portamento, fast note response times, filter and auxiliary outputs, dynamic audio processing (volume and pan control), syncable LFO, vibrato, sample and hold, pitch bend, and DIN sync output. With five CV outs, it can actually be used to control two synthesizers."

  2. I had one. I found it uber annoying to edit the setting via midi cc messages. If he had some kind of plug in to deal with it. I prefer the kenton pro solo honestly.. It's easier to set up..

  3. Actually, the editing is via program change messages. But I know what you mean. A plug-in to set it up... hmm...

    And yes, they are great converters. I've got one of the last ones made; Kyle built me a special one to drive my EML 101 (1.2 V/octave).

  4. Hey I've got two, one is octave/volt and the other also switchable to hz/volt and yes they are very nice and Kyle is a pleasure to work with..what sold me on his units was in addition to mid/cv there was the presence of LFO CVs that could have their wave forms be re-started based on MIDI clock bars, not exactly a synched wave form but close enough, to drive voltage in time with the music


    and as for controls it is really not that hard to set up something with to send the cc messages and just label them ,just about any outboard controller can do that

    JKJ CV-5 Midi-CV Converter/Audio Processor for sale.
    Best offer.
    Never used. Brand New.
    Was going to use it to connect from either my Moog or Oberheim to an SEM module.
    Just never got around to it.

    Again, brand new. Never used.
    The "beige" stick was not in packaging when I received the unit.
    The unit I have does not have a toggle switch that appears in the pic on this page.

    Will send anywhere in continental US.
    Located in Milwaukee, WI.
    S&H will be added to final total.

    Thanks for considering.
