CVpal: DIY USB MIDI To Control Voltage Converter

[yizzle]

Mutable Instruments has announced the availability of CVpal – a new 2-channel USB->CV/Gate interface DIY kit:

Here’s what they have to say about CVpal:

"We dreamt of a really simple DIY kit – so simple that it would allow beginners to enter the world of DIY with a big smile – and yet, interesting enough to be useful in any kind of Eurorack setup. That’s how the CVpal was born!

The kit contains only 25 parts to solder; but is an incredibly useful tool, allowing you to connect your computer or iPad/iPhone (with camera connection kit) to your modular system or (neo-)vintage analog equipment.

The CVpal features a large palette of control modes: monophonic with velocity and extra square oscillator, monophonic with clock outputs, duophonic, dual monophonic, or even quad trigger conversion! Its 12-bit DAC with an 8-point software calibration curve makes it more accurate than more expensive products."

A simple stand-alone case is also available for the CVpal, making it useful outside of the modular, with a stompbox or a desktop analog synth, for example.

Here’s a video demo of CVpal in action:

CVpal is available as a kit, priced starting at 49.00 Euro.
