Volca + MS-20 Mini

Post by CleverConQueso »

Anyone look at combining the sequencer, delay and maybe oscillators of the Volca keys with the MS-20 mini?
Do you know what the keyboard on the Mini puts out? MIDI or CV or HZ? I'm assuming the Volca deals in CV but then again, who knows.
TIA

Always thought the volcas dealt in CV. As i understand it you can easily mod tthe volca too with a midi out, that way you at least have a one way ticket to sequence to ms from the volca. It's only two or three little wires on the volca board, i did it to a volca beats once but can't remember the exact process, simple though. Other than that i'm sure that you can get the volca to respond from the ms20m with the right amount of twiddling. I have a simple circuit box here for cv conversion between standard cv & v/hertz.

Thanks Dr. I wondered if the MIDI out mod was 'out' or actually thru. Thanks for clearing it up. Then the Volca sequencer will send keyboard presses ou tht eMIDI port?
I wonder, does it thru as well? That would be nice.
