Midi to CV/Gate

Post by cemorse »

I've been using Carla with full instruments (Zyn, SetBFree, etc) for a number of years now. Was looking into playing a bit more with some of the modular type plugins, but can't locate a means of converting midi data from my USB connected keyboards into a CV/gate pair for controlling oscillators. I can use Carla to control CC parameters from the controller, just not key/note data.

Am I missing something obvious here? Some really old Alsa Modular docs I found make reference to a MCV module for kbd to cv, but I don't see an equivalent module in the Carla plugins I've pulled in so far. Lots of other AMS modules..

Any suggestions? Thanks...

E.g. route note events through Note2CC plugin [1] and then use CC for automation in host.

ingen has a built in plugin for this called note. see: https://youtu.be/eMj-q5adAZ4?t=1m28s

I'd be shocked if its not an lv2 plugin you can use in carla too.

It is indeed an internal plugin and not available as a separate LV2 plugin.
