NEW REVISED PRODUCT PRO-2000 MkII MIDI-CV converter

What do MIDI-CV Converters do?

In order to control pre-MIDI synthesisers from a modern MIDI instrument or sequencer, you need to change the digital MIDI messages into the kind of signals the pre-MIDI synth can understand.

For the price, really is the best value converter on the market, anywhere. The versatility of this unit is awesome. Just look at the specifications below.

Socket upgrades for Analogue Synthesisers

For those monosynths without the necessary inputs, Kenton have a range of Socket upgrades to enable you to add those all-important CV, Gate & Filter sockets and sometimes a few others too. We can fit such sockets for you or, alternatively, supply a kit of parts and instructions. Please look at our Socket upgrades page for further information and our MIDI to CV information page which shows some typical examples of using our MIDI to CV converters with some popular synths.
