Snyderphonics MantaMate prototype testing

Published on Jan 22, 2016 Jeff Snyder

"Here's some video of me testing out the MantaMate prototype. I'm still working on the firmware, but it's going well!
The MantaMate is a USB host Eurorack module for USB-MIDI and USB-HID devices, like keyboards, Mantas, and joysticks. It takes input from a USB device and sends 12 channels of 0-10V control voltage. It can also be put into device mode, so that you can use it as a control voltage output for your computer. Fun stuff!"

Key points: everything is new in the minilouge. This does not share circuit design from the monotribe or MS20 series. VCOs, not DCOs.
