What Can You Do With a MIDI to CV Convertor?

[@chinidadian]

Your ability to produce super musical results no matter the gear never ceases to amaze me

[@awalton]

The magic that hits at around 13:30 is just... wow. I need more of that.

[@macaronafterparty]

Glad to see the erae touch showcased here. Very underrated.

[@Jin-Hu]

Just built a Jake’s Custom shop midi to cv module, can’t wait to give it a good play along with this video Jeremy, thanks man

[@MarioGodoyMusic]

Yes! more Aerophone content please!

[@tihkal]

this is insane. thanks bro. finally got me to hook up ableton to my rack with this vid. it's like a whole new world has opened up now

Lot's Of Info And Inspirations! Dope As Ever THX 4 Your Work!

[@HANGINGOUTWITHAUDIOPHILES]

The amount out music that flows from your hand brain combinations is just wild. The tap runneth! Lovely stuff

[@bodhibeats8257]

Wind controllers are the coolest things in the synth world that no one talks about. Thanks for featuring them, Jeremy! (I may be biased, as I play a NuRAD). 😁

[@unclemick-synths]

That is so true. I think it's because they're mostly marketed to jazzers (particularly Brecker fans) or saxophonists wanting silent practice or doubling the sounds of other instruments. There is an untapped market of people like myself who are fans of conventional synth music but not necessarily keyboard players. I think of all the people who took saxophone in high school and don't realize that they can easily pick up an Aerophone and play their synths! I've predominantly played my Behringer Neutron because the CV conversion is perfect for the AE-30 - the pitch bend has smooth transitions between up and down (essential for the bite), and the legato is handled properly. The AE-30 is perfect for modular because the thumbpad, elevation, and tilt CCs can be converted to CV to give the equivalent of the live tweaking you'd do if you didn't have both hands on the Aerophone. I have some videos on my channel.

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@unclemick-synths BTW, the Aerophones are great! I prefer the touch-sensitive style keys of the EWI and NuRAD, but the Aerophone’s built-in ZenCore makes me jealous for sure. All of these instruments make great controllers, but the Roland’s definitely win on built-in synths. FWIW, the NuRAD has CV out for breath built-in! 😁

[@unclemick-synths]

@@bodhibeats8257 the problem with the AE-30 is figuring out how to program the ZEN Core (the SuperNatural sound engine is of no interest to me). After a couple of years just using it just as a controller, I am now doing a thorough investigation of the ZEN Core engine to try to get as good sounds out of it as I can get from my Neutron.

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@unclemick-synths Yeah ZenCore is deep and complex for sure! Sounds awesome, but a whole lot to learn! I also have a Neutron that I use with wind controllers. It’s great! 😁

[@gay_milhouse1160]

that mostly mutables case is drool worthy. great video! i'd written this module off as i don't do much with midi, but i was wrong. i could DO SO MUCH MORE

[@oscmod2s]

the blanks you've got on the rack are on point as always. also, I love the mutable instruments case. it sounds so very fun to play.

[@turbotambourine]

Incredible! I loved getting such a mix of midi controllers and racks! It seems like Noise Engineering have another winner! Lots of io for 6hp for sure!

[@Davnak]

Absolutely loved the Arp stuff at 7 min! Great demonstrations of how powerful midi to CV modules are.

[@LillySchwartz]

No, I don’t want to skip forward 😅 every single jam was 👌 I definitely need to deep dive into the Befaco MIDI thing I built. Only scratched the surface so far. Great demo of what can be done!

[@mikey303]

Love the bit with the Akemie's castle

[@RedMeansRecording]

Got a love hate relationship with it but I still like playing with it

[@pxt0909]

sweet baby j... if I had 3 wishes - I'd spend them all learning from you. Great video as always. Thank you

[@samsakr1]

Waiting on that July M8!!! Very keen to use it to movvvveeee the modular system. Also kind of amazing you can make a track on the train, then move it to the system when you get home 🤪

[@LordoftheBadgers]

Uh huh. I can see that with my push 3 - which I know you love 😂 ❤ This is 🔥🔥🔥

[@krakamak]

These videos do really not help me to keep my oath to stay away from modular... Super cool!

[@matthodek]

Those last two are inspiring. 🤩 I am just starting to play with touchOSC which seems to have some potential for creating interesting interfaces that would go well with these modules. I love Noise Engineering too...

[@JESSEROYAL]

this is all epic. love the clothes line too

[@solongyouth]

my Digitakt and Eurorack are finally going to be happy together

[@cooltigermusic]

Your videos are of such great quality

[@edwardtang8995]

Awesome - thanks for the ideas and inspiration.

[@0VRLNDR]

I need this badly so I can stop using an entire Pulsar-23 for the 4-pin MIDI to CV. 😂

[@macneilsketchley]

I was using mine as a clock source for my rack lol

[@johnnybigpotato2404]

THAT is super more awesomer! :)

[@TheMachinesWon]

Amazing presentation! Really opened up my mind on this topics. Would you say using the digitone would be a decent way to control a modular system if I don’t have a digitakt?

[@RedMeansRecording]

It has the same sequencer capabilities so yeah

[@ValentinSalomon-n7w]

Hello, thank you very much for your video. I need help to configure the elektron analog rhytm mk2 to synchronize the tempo of the 960 sequential behringer eurorack. Let me explain, I want the master tempo of the elektron so I use the elektron midi output to the CM1A cv midi convert midi input. On the CM1A, a plug trig cable to shift the 960 sequencer but it doesn't work... My sequence on the 960 sequencer doesn't change when I move the tempo on the Elektron. Thanks in advance.

[@MD_Builds]

The jams are damn cool :D need more:D

[@treschlet]

I hope that you also have a wonderful day

[@richiesantana7628]

wow a video of just using cc into plaits or rings would be amazing......

[@prodbymira]

Maybe it's a bit late to ask for it but how about a video on the SOMA Pulsar-23? I feel like this machine would fit your vibe and general approach to music (I find it really aspiring, creative and unconventional) really freakin' good. Anyways, keep up the good work! Been enjoying every video so far.. Much love from Germany!

[@skelly790]

Yeah, that would be good. idk about the Pulsar, but the Lyra is like the opposite of the Digi in its approach to making music. You could convert the Digi's midi to CV and plug that into the back of the Lyra, but it wouldn't pay much attention. But then it doesn't pay much attention to anything, unless you bash it around the head with a giant sidechain. Made from real chains. But the Pulsar might be slightly more docile.

[@RedMeansRecording]

It's not something I want to buy right now so maybe later

[@lelec3304]

I'm looking for something to do the opposite, to have somes input (that I could chose to be CV or gate) and out to a midi. Let's say I want my MI grids to trigger some MPC samples. What module can do that ?

[@rochefsky]

Awesome performance! (and overview!)... What were your drums on channel 10 in the first jam? Thank you!

[@RedMeansRecording]

I think it's a series of samples from the vpme qd but not sure

[@iamjamessmith]

Jeremyyyy love this! When are you gonna play the Strega for us??

[@RedMeansRecording]

Hah. I'm editing a video on it right now.

[@iamjamessmith]

@@RedMeansRecording Be still my beating heart.

[@unclemick-synths]

I skipped straight to 18:19 because I have the AE-30. Does this converter handle legato playing properly? Does pitch bend transition smoothly between pitch up and pitch down (essential for the bite control)? I'm looking for a separate Eurorack converter but it has to be as good as the Behringer Neutron's converter which suits the AE-30 perfectly but comes with the rest of the Neutron attached whether I need it or not 😀. None of my other converters handle legato and they have dead-spots in the middle of the pitch bend which interferes badly with the conversion of the bite sensor. I use a Space Brains Circuits MidiVolts to convert the AE-30’s thumbpad, elevation, and tilt to CV. The CC to CV conversion really opens up the possibilities for controlling VCF cutoff, resonance, LFO depth, etc.

[@RedMeansRecording]

i did not find either of those things worked, but im brand new to the aerophone so i may have gotten it wrong.

[@unclemick-synths]

@@RedMeansRecording I keep forgetting to switch the MIDI Control switch on 🙄! If you're interested I have a video on my channel showing how I set up my AE-30 to work with my Neutron.

[@tomdaley8195]

Any thoughts on the Hermod+ Jeremy?

[@RedMeansRecording]

I liked the og Hermod so all the new features and screen are nice! It was my primary sequencer for a while

[@malungtvnews]

Hi. can i use this to control the cc s of a PWM Malevolent with Ableton?

[@symbiat0]

Do you have more than one Constellation / Maestro module ? I also see the Strymon but curious to know what are the main FX modules you like to use ?

[@RedMeansRecording]

i have two maestros, which is silly. i really like the noise engineering fx, ghost, mimeophone, and data bender.

[@lazymandoplayer]

Sixty Four Pixels CV.OCD is another great solution and is stand alone if that suits you better

Hey. Would somebody know if it would work also with AE-10? I am not ready to switch to AE-30, yet.

[@RedMeansRecording]

If it has midi out yes

[@unclemick-synths]

I don't have the AE-10 but looking at the manual it doesn't have 5-pin DIN so you'd have to go via a computer or try to find a compatible USB to MIDI converter (apparently some work better than others). The AE-30 works really well with modular - the breath, bite, thumbpad, elevation, and tilt give so much control and are easy to set up.

@@unclemick-synths thank you very much. That is what I was afraid of and that is why I asked. Thanks for your clarification.

[@lee_at_sea]

Soooooo unfortunate these don't have 14-bit CC. D.O.A. for my purposes.

[@floor_baba]

The M8. The breath controller. 🤌

[@distorson]

Does anyone know if the Univer Iter can do something the Expert Sleepers FH2 can't do? Just curious :)

[@kevinforney9054]

That first jam tho. Damn. How's the Univer Iter compare to the Expert Sleeper's ES-9?

[@RedMeansRecording]

I can promise you the ux and ui for editing it will be much much more user friendly
