Filteria Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Sorry for my lack of knowledge but how do you connect analog synthesizers to pc(specifically roland sh-101)? I heard one way to do is through MIDI to CV converters, does anyone use them ? would really appreciate your help, cheers Hi there. What exactly is it you want to achieve? 1. To be able to record the sound into the PC? In that case just plug the audio out jack into to your audio-card and press rec 2. To interact the SH-101 into midi-enviorenment (play with midi notes)? I assume its this you wondering about. In that case, you need a few stuff. First of all if you dont have a midi-interface (can be just one in/out), then you need to get ont. Second, a CV-Gate coverter since SH-101 dont have midi. One I strongly recommend is: http://www.kentonuk.com/products/pro_solo.shtml This transforms your CV/gate signals into midi-signal. Its quit easy procedure. And on that link you can read in more detail These are your choices, unless you want to play everything "live" directly.. Hope this helps.

kushnik Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for your help But it seems that interfaces for old analog synths really hard to find, isn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai-Q Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 eBay helps Kenton PRO-Solo MkII MIDI-CV @ eBay US Or you buy it directly from the manufacturer. http://www.kentonuk.com/digital_interfaces_converters/midi_cv_converters_extras.shtml But you must tell the seller which power supply you need.

needle ninja Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I would use something else to control midi with and just record the sweet sounds of your SH-101. I guess you would need a CV converter to control the SH-101 with a computer controlled sequencer or DAW. If none of this works for you, you can sell me the SH-101...

Amygdala Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yep, a MIDI->CV/gate is what you need. I can warmly recommend the Kenton ones. They may seem a bit pricey, but it is totally worth it! I have one to control my SH-1 (almost completely like an SH-101), and it works wonders. - A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kushnik Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thank you all for help, i think i'll go with Kenton converter and is midi interface a must have too ? Perhaps anyone could advise me one that works with sh101? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
