MIDI Synth Module Suggestions

Yeah. The axon is going to be my pitch-MIDI converter. I was able to get one used on craiglook. Like I said, we'll find out soon enough. Either way, it will be an exciting journey

Cool , I'd love to have your comments on this subject.

I have a B2M that I use with a Roland XV-2020. It's main use for me is to sound like a cello, and for that purpose it does nicely. There is a heap of great sounds, IMO, in the XV-2020 but not all lend themselves to monophonic playing, which is what the B2M gives you, and I'm not so sure a monophonic clav would be so great: Not too many keyboard players get by playing one-fingered...

For that purpose I've been working towards an Axon AX-100 + Roland GK-3B pickup, but I'm not quite there yet. Some cool things I'm looking forward to trying out once I'm finally polyphonic include harp & classical guitar, which sound great on the XV-2020 but monophonic just doesn't sound right.

As other posts have said, bass to midi is not for everyone. But if you can afford to start with the B2M & XV-2020 as I did and take (or leave) it from there, by all means go for it.

Just as a quick comment, I run a fuzz into my POG2, and use the attack and filter options, in order to get my cello sounds. No tracking issues, and I can play double stops....
