Re: Voice to MIDI thru voc proc and guitar synth?

Howdy,

 First, you need a pitch to CV module, then an
envelope follower. Then patch them in to a CVto midi
adapter and bob's your uncle. i have a schemo for he
pitch to Cv part, envelope follwers can be found
anywhere an excellent kit can be bought from Paia but
will need a gate extractor, and CV to midi is
available from Paia also.
