Friends owned and still own CV/gate instruments, but they just used it before we made music together, the Prophet 5s of a friend for example are all MIDIfied. I started with the first DX7 and even my Oberheim Matrix-1000 doesn't provide CV/gate anymore, but it provides a guitar synth mode, each voice of a sound could get its own MIDI channel. Until now I didn't use the Matrix-1000 with my Roland GR-55. I guess it takes more than just a MIDI channel for each string, to get the full guitar synth experience. Nowadays a lot of new synth provide CV/gate again, but I tend to buy proprietary virtual synth instead of new hardware synth. On proprietary platforms, unfortunately not on Linux, they work nearly as good as CV/gated modular rack synth when using a host such as Cubasis on iOS and they nearly sound as good as Curtis CEM Chip based hardware synth, while some of them emulate real synth quite good. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
