Works like a charm connecting several extrenal midi synths!

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

Using it to duplicate midi-out from my Digitakt to several synths (Eurorack, Dark Engery I + II and Nord Modular).

It is replacing my (passive) Philip Rees V4 midi thru unit. At first I thought newer modals of the Banana Split took power from the midi line, like the Philip Rees V4, but it doesn't. I did read it wrongly on the site. What is said is that the Banana Split is able to power other midi gear via midi if they support it... You do need an adapter!

At first I used an older 9v adapter (500mA), but 'shadow' notes were played and note-on/off information were not send. It was very unstable with the older adapter.
I bought a new 12v adapter (600mA) for the Banana Split (and a 9v adapter for a different purpose). Both do work, but I'm using the 12v now. So make sure you use a new adapter with it!

The beat indicator is a very nice extra on the Banana Split! I'm very happy with it!

Amazing Product / Fun and Easy Build

For ARPIE - MIDI Arpeggiator Kit

First off, the build is super well documented and was a ton of fun. Finished it in about 2 hours.

Then...THEN..this thing is so fun to play with. Melodies and unthinkable patterns appear out of nowhere. Excited to start to compose with this!

Exactly what I'd hoped for

For midihub 6-way MIDI Thru and Metronome Module

I play synth in a live band and the ability to sync the on board tempo with the rest of the band via tapping is invaluable. No other product does this outside of DAWs or much more expensive gear so this is really useful.

Great offer for soldering enthusiasts

For LE STRUM - Hack-it-yourself model (PCB + PIC)

I like to solder. I like to save money. The kit was very easy to build and finally worked perfectly.
The documentation is however very sparse in that manner that i did not even realized how it works. After digging it finally found out.
The LE STRUM itself is a great product. I have a feeling i can make music :-)

Nice MIDI to CV Box...does what it should do!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

So just quick and dirty...
- easy to use
- great size and stable build
- useful editor to customize all the outputs

I use the CV.OCD to control my CV-gear via the digitakt-MIDI-Tracks...and that works fine!


I can totally recommend this box ...although MIDI-Through would be on my wishlist ;-).

Thanks for the CV.OCD...just what i was searching for!


cheers

Great product!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

I'm using it with two Oberheim SEM modules, so I can set to play them polyphonically, separately from different midi channels, or in unison, just by transferring a different sysex string via midi. I'm also going to use it to send triggers to my Simmons sds8 drum machine from another midi channel. Still haven't tried it with my yamaha hz/v cv controlled synths as I have them hooked up directly to my Synthstrom Deluge sequencer (another great unit!), but I'm sure the cv.ocd is capable to pass the correct cv here as well.

I have only one wish that is not fulfilled when controlling the SEMs: As far as I can see, the cv.ocd can't send negative cv, so the lower octaves are not available (please someone correct me if there is a setting for it that I didn't find). Hopefully it will be possible with a firmware update or in the next cv.ocd version :)

In all other aspects, the cv.ocd is the perfect stand-alone midi2cv controller! Even able to control up to four voices!

Excellent product with super support

For Relay Switcher : 8 Channel MIDI-to-relay module

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very easy to build, controls 8 relay switches via midi; I'm using it to control guitar amp channel switching, reverb, etc. but the applications are endless.

Alexis | Oct. 28, 2018

As described and does exactly what it should

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Had it for a bit now, really solid construction, and had no issues using it so far.
Very interesting product in general!

Richard | Oct. 8, 2018

Simple. Plug n play. Awesome!

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

Excellent product.
Works exactly as described and desired.
Well designed.
Well packaged for delivery.
5 stars might be weird for documentation as the device is so simple, but, hey, it says what it needs to and no more.
Get one.

Matthew | Sept. 13, 2018

Awesome piece of gear

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

CV.OCD is slim, well put together, and poewrful. This is exactly what I needed to help bridge the gap between my desktop sequencers and my pile of modular / semi-modular gear. There's no doubt that I'll be getting a lot of use out of this.

Matthew | Sept. 3, 2018

Solid, Well Built and Perfect for intended Purpose

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

I am very pleased with the Banana Split. I have a number of different hardware synths I needed to connect to my DAW at the same time and this is an excellent solution. It is handsome, well built, comes with good instructions and works professionally. You do have to stick the little rubber feet on, but if that's a deal breaker for you, perhaps a midi splitter is the least of your worries.

Alessandro | Aug. 11, 2018

Just what I was looking for!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Without this miraculous little box I could not have done this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3mLN1UsQQ4

Anders | Aug. 6, 2018

Dope!

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

I got two of these and they are doing what they are supposed to. Great price, great quality! Get one if you need a splitter

Cameron | Aug. 1, 2018

CV OCD handy and works just as advertised

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

The CV OCD has been working perfectly for me. The only thing I would change is making it eurorack mountable. Keep up the good work!

David | July 30, 2018

this midi > cv power box rocks!!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Very flexible, easy to configure, works flawless, wow!

11/10

Dominic | July 20, 2018

Simply awesome

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Highly recommended. Well constructed, works out of the box. Has hugely extended my midi to cv capabilities. Essential.

Yannick | July 17, 2018

LOVE it!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

I'm fairly new to this world of cv and gate. Nonetheless this device was up and running in minutes. Driving 2 analog synths and triggering an old simmons electronic drum module from my daw. It is well built, is very versatile, looks nice and does just what I need. And all this for a very, very competitive price! Shipping wasn't really fast, but nothing to complain about! I'd say pretty darn good job!

Mathew | June 21, 2018

No problems at all

For Synchole - MIDI to DIN SYNC box

Fantastic product took out the box plugged in my 303 Welcome to the Acid Party.Arrived in Australia quicker than I thought so it was Awesome!

Benjamin | June 11, 2018

Awesome !

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

I am using my Cv.ocd with my modular and I love it. Very easy to use, well built and so useful ! I would definetly order more products in the future

Christian | June 11, 2018

Exactly what I was looking for

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Following setup (simplified):
Arturia Keystep (via Midi) -> MPC Live (standalone) (via Midi) -> cv.ocd -> Behringer D (CV - velocity; CV - aftertouch)
-> cv.ocd -> Behringer D (gates for Filter/Loudness-Env.)
-> -> ->-> Behringer D (Pitch, ModWheel, PitchWheel, Gate)
Works very nice :) and I still have free CV / gate / Trigger - Outs for other uses...

Alan | June 11, 2018

Fantastic!

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

Bought cv.ovd to use with Zaquencer and it worked perfectly right outta the box. Previously, controlling my eurorack via Zaquencer was extremely convoluted (Zaq > DAW > Silent Way > ES-3) so being able to plug this in directly and roll within a matter of minutes was a joy. Changing the configuration was quick and painless too. I can't say enough good about cv.ocd... it's a seemingly simple tool, that's had a major impact on my workflow.

Emilio | June 11, 2018

Excellent device, extremely useful

For CV.OCD - A super flexible MIDI to CV box

The CV.OCD is just the device I needed to connect my Octatrack's MIDI channels to my Eurorack system. It's simple and works like a charm out of the box. I'm using it to send clock signal from the OT to a Temps Utile, and also to send pitch and gate from two MIDI tracks (it could be used to send up to for tracks).
Everything works just fine, you quickly forget that you're using it, which is the best thing to say of a device like this.

Highly recommended!

Wayne | June 8, 2018

Super Happy the SyncTab came back to the shop...

For synctab for ARPIE

Didn't think I'd need this initially but have since acquired Pocket Operators and Volcas. Thanks for restocking.

Mike | June 7, 2018

Great product

For LE STRUM - MIDI Strummed Chord Controller DIY KIT

So much fun, easy to build, and a really useful tool in the studio. this allows me to create complex midi patterns that would take ages to program, now i can have guitar like sounds in seconds, very cool.

Sean | May 31, 2018

Does what it claims to, well, for a good price.

For midihub 6-way MIDI Thru and Metronome Module

This would be perfectly fine for the price if it was JUST a junction box, which is mostly how i use it. But also, if for some reason your MIDI set up currently lacks any kind of sequencer to keep everything working in time, then this will also send out a basic 4/4 MIDI pulse, anywhere up to 300 BPM (if i remember rightly). Definitely worth the money, and i have not found any problems as yet.

Ulrich | May 27, 2018

All good!

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

This box works just like intended, looks good and is well built. I like the additional info LEDs on activity and clock for immediate feedback as well as the safety features like decoupled MIDI inputs and input voltage flexibility. Shipping and packaging (to Germany) was very fast, and great communication with the developer as well! I'm definitely recommending this unit.

Ulrich | May 27, 2018

Very useful

For Orange Squeeze MIDI Merge

Very handy unit to record midi data from multiple units, and also to identify if one is taking up too much MIDI bandwidth via the flashing LEDs. I like the design and build quality (matches perfectly with banana split unit). Shipment to Germany was fast, as were the seller's responses on questions. I can definitely recommend this unit.

Fun Midi Controller

For LE STRUM - MIDI Strummed Chord Controller DIY KIT

Nice easy build with good instructions.
The device is great fun to play. Sound great plugged into an arpeggiator, endless combinations!

Kevin | May 10, 2018

Everyone should have a Banana Split

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

Really excellent product. Transmits midi clock from the midi in to all the midi outputs, thus syncing all your gear. Compact, well built and good looking. I believe its the best midi thru box for the price by a long shot.

Ron | April 24, 2018

straightforward kit, easy to build and perfectly documented.

For ARPIE - MIDI Arpeggiator Kit

This is how a DIY kit should be done. PCB layout and documentation are super straightforward, components packed and labelled nicely leaving no questions open. Though counting myself to experienced builders I am sure the documentation has lots of tips guiding beginners sucessfully through the building process.
Warning: Once it´s finished ARPIE can be a huge time sink - it´s just too much fun to play around driving your favorite synth ;) JMJ on your finger tips so lock me in and throw away the key...

Boris | April 22, 2018

Perfect

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

Unpack, connect power, it just works. What else can I say about a MIDI splitter?
Yeah, it also looks cool and has a funny name !

Neil | March 30, 2018

As described

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

Solid, reliable and beautiful

For Banana Split - 6 Way Midi Splitter/Thru Box

It's a midi thru box that does exactly what it says! I'm a hobbyist since 1980 with midi. Highly recommended.
