Need help with choosing MIDI to CV module

Hello gals and guys!
I used to use Betastep Pro, but didn't like it that much. I'm thinking of using MIDI keyboard or hooking my eurorack to MIDI out from my DAW.
Anyone here using (or used) Doepfer A-190-5 or Vermona qMI2? I really like the idea of (relatively) cheap module that can do 4 independent voices. If I play some software synths or samples from DAW along with Eurorack, will they sync?
I'm also open for other suggestions about this PC-Eurorack connection and everything else regarding my setup.
Thank you in advance!

have you looked at the mutant brain (in rack version of cv.ocd) - was hexinverter, now being made by erica synths... it has the 4 cv/gate pairs you want + more gate outputs - so you can use a midi clock for syncing to the computer...

I use a kick sample on an audio track in logic, personally - this will always be 'tighter' than midi clock, due to Operating System priorities, but if you don't use any other software on the computer at the same time and disconnect from wifi etc then you should be fine

Thank you very much for the recommendation and heads up about possible problems! I wil definitely check out mutant brain...

But let me get this thing clear: are you using a kick sample as a trigger to clock ("clock in" input to module)? I could probably do something similar into Pams New Workout... Thanks again!

yes...

you'll probably need to mess with the volume of the audio channel or pams will not recognise it (about 30-49% works for me in logic using an es-8 for output)...

paste the kick sample (I got mine from the make noise site, not sure it's still there) at whatever frequency you need it for as long as you need it (I have it at 4ppqn, iirc, ie every 16th note) for 120 bars or so) and then save that as a template...

set pams to run at the same ppqn with external clock, I also set it to run/stop on receipt of clock...

works for me... should work for you!

Understood! Very helpful! Tyvm!
