Hello dear modular enthousiasts,
I am a fairly new modular user and I think i have ordered the wrong module and the manual isnt really giving me the clarity i want before sending it back.
[SITUATION]
Module: Doepfer A-192-2 CV/Gate to Midi/USB
I guess it's in the name of the module, but google search results gave me this module as a first result when i was looking for a:
-- MIDI to CV-- module.
I figured it could translate MIDI to CV and vice versa because it showed up in the results. It even had a MIDI out AND a MIDI in port. Yesterday when my package arrived, it seemed like it was actually a module that could only translate CV to midi and not the other way around. This makes the module useless for me right now and i still cant play my synth with a keyboard.
[QUESTION]
Is there no possible way for the a-192-2 to translate MIDI into CV?
If not, what is a good alternative? Also why does the module have a MIDI in port??
I see there's on the market:
- Erica Synths Black MIDI-CV V2 (195 euros)
- Intellijel µMIDI (245 euros)
-Doepfer A-190-2 (110 euros)
Ive read the descriptions of all of these modules on diffent sites, but it would be really helpful if someone could help me choose the best one for my situation.
I would like to play my modular with my (pitchbendable) midi keyboard and possibly also via MIDI coming from Ableton later (not too important right n0w tho.
Thanks in advance :)
