Generative Pulses

jimgoodinmusic

Finally got a dyi Arduino based midi-to-cv convertor working sending voltages to generate pitches from my modular oscillators and such. I’m trigging with a lap steel through a legacy Sonuus pitch to midi box. I was really into Robert Fripp’s 1981 Let the Power Fall and this had that vibe to me. If anyone else with an Arduino diy like this has the same problem, check the default address your DAC is using. In my case it is Adafruit’s mcp4725 which needed to be on 0x62 in the code but I had on 0x60. It explains why gates were working as they weren’t going through the DAC so the pulses were indeed interrupting but no change in pitch and bingo!
