Can the MS20 Mini control the Volca Modular via CV?

Post by Uncle_Alex »

Good evening all, I wonder if anyone out there can help me at all?

I recently bought the Volca Modular and (my bad) I quickly realised that it has no MIDI IN. I own several other Volcas which all have MIDI IN and I guess I just (foolishly, again my bad) assumed that the Modular would be the same.

I am completely inexperienced with CV, however I understand that it may be the answer to controlling the Volca Modular in a similar manner to MIDI. I also own an MS20 Mini and I note that it has a few INs and OUTs which relate to CV. Is it possible to connect the 2 synths together in such a way so that I can use the MS20 Mini to give me MIDI-type control over the Volca Modular?

I'm guessing that it can be done, but I must be honest - I simply do not have the technical know-how to make it happen. Any help would be enormously appreciated, thank you so much people.

All the best

Alex

Sorry you haven't had a reply yet. If you still need the info (after so much time), let me know. I have used my MS-20 Mini and Korg Volca Modular together, both sending CV into and out of the Modular, although the latter took a special cable.

Hi T Pugsley and thanks for the reply.

I have since been told by others how to get it up and running (also using a special cable), but thank you for getting back to me anyway - I really do appreciate it :D
