@loa I’m less sure it works well now …
I now know I hadn’t actually tried the CV conversion in realtime
I had to modify my breakout cable (shave a little plastic off, so I couldn’t have ever done this test before) to clear the socket for my MIDI In
In my experience (can’t attest for @darenager’s experience here though) it shows the same symptom as this user found here with his Teenage Engineering OPLab …
The A4 voltages plays the Monotribe pitch correctly but the MIDI derived from this is inconsistent as follows
If you played a low C on A4 to begin with and then one an octave up, it would play 11 semitones higher on the first press and then the correct octave (12 semitones) on all subsequent presses … it’s just not reliable enough to be useful in practice imho
I’m quite sure this is not related to my MIDI board (it’s creating viable understandable MIDI, plus it’s consistent with the TE OPLab) I think it’s something on the voltage side somewhere
It may be best to switch off the Monotribe pitch quantizing, but then you’d possibly get lots of pitch bend info for notes which are approaching the right voltage to precisely play a given note
It seems to stabilise for second and subsequent plays of a given note
It all may benefit from a bit of calibration before hand (i calibrated MT to A4 and used a central reliable range) … but for now i’d urge a bit more research or seek some more feedback
Here’s my setup - it shows a MIDI cable in the gold upper sockets and the breakout cable made from a commonly available TRRS
