How did you get on with this in the end. Seems like you were having good results at the last update. Did it remain reliable enough?

#22

I’ve been doing this with a Disting Mk4 and the DIY MIDI I/O kit Thonk offers. Works great. It is set to quantize but obviously the incoming CV is already quantized - still, it works.

#23

Interesting, I saw that on the feature list for the Mk4. Sounds like you’re really happy with it. Do you ever get it playing wrong notes?

Maybe it’s time I upgrade from Mk3…

#24

You know, I’ve never really paid attention to it. My Kria ramblings are so random that I would have no idea if a note was “wrong” or not. That being said, I’ve never had it play out of scale when the mk4 is set to semitones. There is another MIDI-only algorithm but I haven’t experimented with it yet.

For reference, I’ve used the mk4 to send MIDI to a Slim Phatty (racked with my euro stuff), Minitaur, Bastl XOR, Mother 32, and a Volca FM. All with good results.

Great thanks for the feedback, seems like a good option to consider

#26

It didn’t. 99.5% of the time it was fine and then an out of key note would sound (impossible based on the sequencing, so the Doepfer was the culprit). I gave up. Luckily, at the time, I had alternative strategies available. I still really want a reliable CV to Midi solution (hello monome! would this be a great new ansible mode?), but I don’t have one. I await the Delptronics module, which has been ‘coming soon’ for a year or so…

I’m been trying to use the Novation Bass Station but it’s so inconsistently inaccurate. Probably hits right notes only 80% of the time…
Seems like the Disting Mk4 is a good bet. Also ADDAC222 and 221 seem like pretty great options though super pricey.

#28

You could really justify having a few Distings in a case as long as you don’t mind menu diving. I have a mk2 as well. Still, I have maybe 3 algorithms I use regularly and I just learn where they are and how they work. Another handy function is the two track recording to SD on the mk4. But the MIDI I/O is what made me pull the trigger.

The Squarp Hermod will solve this: http://squarp.net/hermod

I have a Disting MIDI I/O expander that I may sell soon as I’ve never actually used it…
