Tindie

This ingenious adapter does exactly what i need! Simple plug and play, and best of all it's compact. Can't beat all those features at this price.

No problem after testing

The packaging is very good, the screws and the circuit board are packaged separately, the installation process is effortless, and the speed of ARP can be perfectly controlled after testing,
WIN10, Ableton live 11.

IC broke a solder leg

During the installation process, it was found that one of the solder pins of the IC was missing, and I didn’t care. When connecting the JUNO60 to the computer, I sent a MIDI signal and recorded it, and I got the wrong signal. It seems that the wrong MIDI information was received. Falling solder feet. I've sent it to a pro who knows circuits to have it re-soldered, not sure if that fixes the problem.
The version I received is V3, the photos are all V2, I don't know if valpower has improved the circuit. Everything has to wait until the re-soldering is completed to judge

exactly what I needed

For Valpower USB midi 5 gate Out

Got a quick & accurate response from Valpower on my question (whether the product would match my needs).
And it's exactly what I need: specific midi notes send a signal to the gates, which in turn trigger the EHX drum pedals I have.
SImple as that!

Juno 60 is now modern (ish)

Simple but brilliant. Slap it in and it works! My Juno 60 is now getting fired from my MPC!
Fast delivery and built like a tank. Couldn't be happier :)

David | Feb. 19, 2022

simple & works great

I send MIDI output from Ableton Live 11 to the gate to trigger an Electro-Harmonix Super Space Drum. Works live a charm

Jez | Feb. 19, 2022

Superb product that just does what is says unobtrusively

Thank you so much for marketing these Valpower. Please don't stop! Came quickly with no import taxes to the UK, great price and just works :)

Toon | Jan. 27, 2022

Works great!

I use it with my Octatrack and SH-101 and it works perfectly. I was looking for a small device so I could sequence cv gate with the octatrack and I didn’t always wanted to bring my other sequencer for this role. Their website has a manual but you don’t really need it. It’s plug and play! You can recalibrate the thing so in theory you could go into microtuning territory but I won’t mess with it.

Massimiliano | Oct. 17, 2021

Love the design and quality

This small piece of hardware is just what I needed, no frills. Now I can connect my SH-101 to the other midi devices I got.

Conor | Sept. 23, 2021

Such a great little gadget - reliable and very easy to use

Can't say more really - my Juno-60 is now responding perfectly to midi and installing it was a breeze. Very well built also.

Thank you!

Great little device to midi trigger Juno 60

Great little device to trigger Juno 60 from DAW, without having to do expensive midi conversion, only plays midi one way (IN) but great for what it does. Also bought the SH101 midi trigger, little tricky to figure out which way to put the plastic & screws together on assemble (Used website photo for reference) but overall great products guys for vintage synths, keep up the great work! Best regards:-)

Jaap | Aug. 2, 2021

nice and compact build, works great.

Im very happy with the product, i use it to combine my roland sh-32 with my behringer crave via cv so i can use the midi port on the crave for other things.

S. | July 19, 2021

Perfect

For ARP sync pro Midi

If you are into MIDI you need this. It can take your gear to the next level. Very useful. The seller is helpful as well.

S. | July 19, 2021

Necessary

If you are into MIDI and DCB you need this. Works great with Juno 60. Very useful. The seller is helpful as well.

Sean | June 22, 2021

Does a simple job well for a good price.

This is a great device. I previously bought the Kenton solo pro 3 to connect my SH101 to my DAW. It was a bit overkill as all I wanted to do was receive midi. This does the job in a more cost effective way. I actually think it could be more responsive that the Kenton but maybe that was my set up. Good buy, easy to assemble.

Stephen | June 22, 2021

Just Fantastic

Easy to assemble ..... then just connect it to your Mac and synth and then draw in some notes in the ARPSYNC track in Logic and you're done. Works flawlessly with my Jupiter 6 ..... Opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities. Very happy.

Geert | June 17, 2021

Works like a charm

Works like a charm, ordered a second one. Service when needed help was very fast and adequate. On the wishlist is a version that bi-directional.

Ivan | June 8, 2021

Great Prodcut

Valpower have modified this productt for my Roland SH2... which gate works at 7,5V not at the usual 5V and works perfectly. Now I have midi conectivity (notes on/off) without any modification in my valkuable classic synth for the fraction of the price other solutions.

Ivan | June 8, 2021

Works perfectly

For Valpower USB midi 5 gate Out

If is cheap, simple and it works..what else can we ask for?........................................................................................

David | May 19, 2021

Solid product. Definitely requires the negative barrel power supply to work. It took a moment to figure out how to assemble it - the instructions/photos could be better. But that maybe added 5 minutes of struggle - not much, and it was easy enough to figure out.

I finally got around to using it, connecting the MIDI in to a Thru box that receives clock. I then have this unit set to output CV gate into an Erica Synths Acidbox III to sync the LFO (I use quarter notes in my DAW and send it to MIDI Channel 1, which is what this box uses - I wish I could assign a different channel, as I had to re-order the rest of my devices to incorporate it).

Cesar | May 10, 2021

It works.

For Valpower usb midi to Sync24

Bought this to sync my Maschine+ with my TB-303. Works exactly a it should. Shipping from France to USA was relatively fast. Only thing that would make this better was if it came in a proper enclosure. The plexiglass is adequate enough though.

Kjeld | Feb. 13, 2021

great piece of gear

Works like a charm. With the adaptor my Juno60 can finally join the midi party. Thanks you Christian!

Valentin | Jan. 30, 2021

Highly recommended!

For Eurorack midi cv gate fully assembled

Very satisfied with the product. Simple, easy to use and sturdy device. Easy to build (it is a diy kit), you need just a screwdriver and a couple of minutes to tighten the screws.
It works flawlessly.

Steve | Jan. 27, 2021

Simple but all you really need to connect a midi controller

Fills a real need for a great price. Connects your midi controller to your Eurorack in a small clean package with little draw on your power supply.

Fahmi | Jan. 14, 2021

Eurorack midi to CV-gate converter

For Eurorack midi cv gate fully assembled

Nice price, and great quality! i tested it to get midi from pure data software, convert it to cv/gate by this module, and it works well on my eurorack modular setup

Clint | Jan. 6, 2021

Works with Moog Werkstatt-01

I am using this CV/GATE to control a Moog Werkstatt-01 connected to 'vco exp fm in' and 'gate in', controlled by a midi keyboard through Ablteon Live 10 on Windows 10.

Doran | Dec. 8, 2020

This thing works perfectly

Got this set up with my Juno-60 and it works well. Arp Tempo syncs with DAW but audio only outputs when the track is playing (obviously). I use Logic Pro X and there wasn't any documentation with instructions on how to setup the MIDI on Logic, which might be helpful for future customers. For Logic users: create an External MIDI track with the ARPSYNC and then create a blank MIDI region. You can write in your own rhythm or you can write a sustained note and add the Logic Arpeggiator plugin and control the arpeggio speed and style you want. The ARPSYNC is a great little device and has brought my JUNO-60 into a new world of exploration. I don't know what else is out there like this, but I highly recommend.

Craig | Dec. 6, 2020

Does what it should

I needed this to get my Werkstatt connected to midi. It works well, no real documentation, but I think there’s only so much it needs to do. If I had my wishes, the power would use a standard negative shield pin so all my transformers would work without needing to switch the post it I’ve to negative.

William | Nov. 16, 2020

Amazing !!!

Fantastic product that works really well !

I also bought the DCB to midi connector and I've been using both everyday.
They are complimentary and work well in different context.
I'd suggest buying both if you have the budget.

Easy to use in your DAW.

Thanks again for everything !

Tobias | Oct. 26, 2020

MIDI to CV/Gate

Perfect for controlling a vintage synth such as an Sh-101 via MIDI. Shipping was fast. I would recommend.

Richard | Oct. 22, 2020

Fantastic value

If you’re lucky enough to have a classic Roland synth with DCB this is a great way to drive it from MIDI. I have the USB version. It’s only one way (MIDI controls the synth), but that’s all I want, and the price is fantastic. Just plugged it in and it worked. It’s that simple.

Andreas | Sept. 23, 2020

perfect product, perfect shipping, zero configuration

Does exactly what is described.
Shipping is fast.
Plug & Play.
Thanks for this cool tool!

My Rating:
Documentation: There is none and it's not needed.
Communication: There was none, and it was not needed. ;-)
