Hooked up my Digitakt via this box to my Eurorack and wow, what a difference. Was expecting configuration to be quite confusing, but it's not too bad at all and the manual is very detailed. Love this thing. Shipping was quick and good communication too!

AWESOME midi-cv converter

Great tool, incredibly flexible. Well constructed, and for the price, is the best option you can have right now.

Exactly what I needed.

For LE STRUM - MIDI Strummed Chord Controller Kit

I have been telling all my friends to get one. Everything I needed a midi hub to be. Practical and functional.

I'm so Happy with my first DIY project Le Strum

Hotchk155 is The Man. Your Awesome Dude. First DIY project and it worked first try. This is a Revolutionary way to play music. I love midi instruments like this one. Truly Unique. Had to order another one.

next level design

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

Echoing the other reviews here - I think this is the best midi-CV on the market; the size and cost are very welcome; build and aesthetic is nice; simple to use and very well thought out, the configuration options are super easy, flexible, and fast. (I had never used Sysex before but it turns out it's like a 2 mouse-clicks process.)

I would for sure buy a second one (if my system grows to need one).

The routing options (e.g. chord, cycle, gate options) are icing on the cake. A sincere thank you to Jason for making this -- it really opens up a ton of creative control that was till now untapped.

Manuel | Nov. 1, 2017

good DIY kit

Great PCB. I really like the white silkscreen. Very good documentation and also support.

Thanks for this great instrument.

Derek | Oct. 29, 2017

Super useful utility!

I’ve only had it in the rig for a few days, and I already can’t live without it. It fills all the holes I had with transport signals and clock.

Andrew | Oct. 27, 2017

Best MIDI-to-CV box!

Pros:
Works perfectly
Well-built
Super portable
Easy params builder via SysEx

Cons:
I only got one

Martin | Oct. 27, 2017

Top piece of kit and a rock bottom price.

Great communication. Was going on holidays and asked him to post when I got back which he did as promised.
Well packed.
Very well built and solid.
All for just over €100!
Roll on 8 channel version!
Highly recommended.

Mark | Oct. 27, 2017

Very flexible piece of kit!

Love using it to intercept aftertouch and transmit a CV to my MS-20kit.
At present I have it controlling the CV and gate of three Monotribes in polychain mode.
It is a great part of an experimental synthesis diet!

The learning curve is fairly small, and you can fab up new experiments with
just zapping some new sysex code to the CV OCD, which makes it quite flexible.

Daniel | Oct. 27, 2017

I am really happy I found the CV.OCD, it's amazing!

Been waiting for a small and cheap CV/MIDI device which does the job well, the CV.OCD is just perfect and includes some extra cool features, worth the wait!

Paul | Oct. 14, 2017

Used for sync

Great product - helped me get everything in sync. Has more complex features that I have yet to use. Would definitely buy it again.

Branko | Oct. 9, 2017

Great!

For ARPIE - MIDI Arpeggiator Kit

An easy build with clear instructions. A fantastic item! Thanks!! I haven't even begun to explore it in depth but it is clearly well designed, easy to use, and deep!

Lee | Sept. 11, 2017

Great board!!!!

For MIDI Switcher: Set your MIDI free!!

I've got 2 of these to control some stage lighting. I couldn't use DMX control for these lights since they are all custom made using LED modules in different shapes, for example I have 4 LED strips on my keyboard stand. I also have fixtures with custom shapes around the stage.

Daren | Sept. 9, 2017

Great little item

Very handy, I use it for stripping all except clock data in my setup and it works great, midi is handled without any noticeable delay.

Andy | Sept. 6, 2017

Great product and service. Highly recommended.

MIDIHUB: '6-way MIDI Thru and metronome module' is a 1-input, 6-output, MIDI splitter with its own MIDI clock generator (~30-300 bpm). It's obvious use is as the master clock and hub for MIDI jams but it could also be used as a simple splitter for those with big set-ups and a need to cut down on latency. Three buttons; Play, Minus and Plus, with 6 leds allow MIDI clock start/stop and tempo control as well as some MIDI filtering and playback options for the leds. USB powered so it can be run off a rechargeable battery. Very good build quality for the price - under £50 delivered.

Tom | July 31, 2017

Best MIDI-CV adapter, great price.

For ARPIE MIDI Arpeggiator - PCBs/Microcontroller only

Best MIDI-CV adapter even compared to options many times it's price. Size, simplicity, functionality, versatility. Love it.

Manuel | July 1, 2017

Great PCBs

The PCBs were of really good qualitiy. I'm impressed how robust the white silkscreen is. I had to re-work some buttons and it still looks good!

Gabriel | June 25, 2017

Perfect

For MIDI Switcher: Set your MIDI free!!

Easy to build! Midi switcher is what I was looking for! It works peefectly and easily. The user's Manual is complete. To program it you have to download the dedicated hava app. So great!!!!!!!!

Richard | June 25, 2017

Perfect!

Smaller than I expected and the perfect solution to having the Digitakt controlling all my external gear. Parameter locking and conditional trigs over midi through the banana split is a whole new level of fun :)

John | June 11, 2017

Super

Works perfectly. Super compact. I use it with a BeatStep Pro to control some Korg volcas along with some other synths. Shipping was fast and fair.

Njål | June 9, 2017

What a great box!

Finally! For those of us with a pretty stable setup, this box is so great. Highly recommended, works perfectly.

Sean | June 5, 2017

Another home run

For Synchole - MIDI to DIN SYNC box

Super powerful and simple as always. These guys remain a staple for my studio... Midi to Din, CV/OCD, Banana Split – everything they do is great.

Miguel | May 19, 2017

Great midi splitter solution, does what it says in the tin!

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

To put it simply. It works, simple to setup. Any standard 9v power supply for guitar pedals will work. It also looks great!

Andrew | May 18, 2017

Great MIDI kit

Easy to assemble and good clear documentation. I connected up to my Roland SC-88 and was easily able to generate plenty of cool and rich chord combinations.

Johan | May 18, 2017

Well made and very hackable

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

Even though I've built similar controllers myself, I got this for playing around with and hacking. Having the majority of the parts already on hand, I got the Hack-it-yourself model and went to work on it. Documentation is really good, and I had no problem figuring out how to leave out the voltage regulator parts to run it from a USB jack directly instead. I also fitted the PCB from one of those £3 MIDI interface cables off eBay and a micro USB jack onto the back of the Le Strum. So now I've got MIDI and power over USB instead of the 5-pin DIN MIDI and battery. For keys I chose a longer stem kind of tact switch combined with switch caps in white and black. Also put oak wood legs/sides on it and made a matching wooden stylus.

And of course it is very playable. Really great little thing!

Awesome!

I was looking for a MIDI - CV device for my modular setup and stumbled upon this awesome thing!
Extremely full featured and about half the price of similar functionality devices.
A breeze to setup the confguration to exactly how you like it, if you've ever sent sysex to anything, you won't really need to read the manual.
All in all, proper good.

Awesome MIDI CV IO Board for Hardware Sequencers.

I was looking for more cv outputs for my Squarp Pyramid sequencer and stumbled across this from my favourite Arpie 4 Designer.

The flexibility of this unit is seriously excellent. It seems confusing at first as you read the manual but as you think about it and what you want to achieve it becomes a lot easier plus patching with a new sysex makes experimentation easier; though I wish someone would make a tiny hardware sysex loader, using a microsd card... But I digress.

The build quality is excellent and it's diminutive size means it can fit on a crowded studio table.

I especially love the ability to create trigs from cc# crossing thresholds. It's seriously awesome. I'd love for that feature to be extended with creating trigs etc when the cc was in a user defined range.

To sum up Hotchkiss has done it again the cv.ocd is a well engineered triumph. I'm glad I found it, you will be too if you have any modular like equipment in a traditional midi studio environment. And a bargain to boot. Love it.

Response from Sixty Four Pixels | May 1, 2017

Cheers! i am intrigued by your sysex loader idea - drop me a message if you want to let me know more about it

Jim | April 26, 2017

Over and above all expectations!
