Hello,
I have access to many custom made analog synths (housed in The Institute of Sonology) and I would like to be able to communicate with them by sending MIDI note data from my computer.
I also found a Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer that I could potentially use for this purpose, i.e. by sending MIDI data to this module and there convert it to CV.
To begin with I was trying to hook up the Doepfer to the patch bay, start the sequencer, and use the first CV output to control the pitch of one of the oscillators in the studio. At the beginning I thought it worked but then I realised that the pitch range is very narrow (around 1 octave) and not full range.
I checked and found that both the Doepfer and the oscillator work in the range of 0 to 5V and probably both maintain the 1V per octave standard.
I think that perhaps I was not outputing the full voltage range from the Doepfer. I tried playing around with the presets but it didn't really make too much of a difference.
I was hoping someone here might have some ideas on how to make it work.
Thanks much!
