To be fair, CV/Gate is still widely in use, especially in Eurorack world. You don't build modular synthesisers out of MIDI.

- steve1977 3y agoCV/Gate is in use again. There was a time in the 90s when you actually kind of had to search for MIDI/CV interfaces. A popular one was made by Doepfer - who were also a strong force behind the modular renaissance with their A-100.
- timc3 3y agoI don’t think it was that hard. I remember them being around all the time, but maybe it was a European thing with them being readily available here.
- steve1977 2y agoI meant they were available, but not from many vendors… it was pretty much a niche product (and there was no Internet or Google ;)
- worik 3y ago> You don't build modular synthesisers out of MIDI. Yes you can. I do
- elihu 3y agoOne of the things I like about modular is that the v/octave CV standard imposes no assumptions on what kind of scale you're using. 12-tone equal temperament is pretty easy to use, but there's nothing forcing you to that scale if you don't want to use it. (Some modules and MIDI to CV devices have built-in scale assumptions, but it's not baked in to Eurorack modular at the protocol level.)
