"a recent Prophet V refurbishment that we sold. www.vintagevibe.com"
Update: Note it's actually Prophet-5 or the Model 1000. Not sure why people refer to it as the Prophet V at times. Maybe they're mixing it with the Prophet-VS. The VS stands for Vector Synthesis though, not 5 Synth or other...

Using the Kaossilator as a midi controller (yes ! )


YouTube via Mfdhdp. Also see some undocumented features on the Mfdhdp blog.
"Finally, thanks to internet, I found a Pure data patch to convert the kaossilator to midi data ! So I have now a kaossilator, and an XY midi touch pad for the price of a single kaossilator !! Great !

Does anybody know a better virtual cable than MidiYoke ?

[update]
How to :
--------
Get midiyoke.
Get Puredata.
Get the pure data patch. (see web page)
Put your kaossilator out to your pc (mic or line in)
On pure data, select the midi "out to midiYoke 1"
On your host(fruity loops or other) select "midiYoke 1" as your midi in.
The channel are the 14th and the 15th.
You might need to fine tune the range of the CC in the patch ; they must go from 0 to 127. "
