I know this an old thread, but I was wondering if someone could clear this up a bit for me. I understand the importance of Resolution and Accuracy. However, I am having an issue with the design process. I am wanting to design a reasonably simple 1V/octave MIDI to AC converter.
My Design Spec:
- be able to produce a good 61 key/ 5 octaves scale
- a gate
- possibly a pitch bend if it is feasible.
As mentioned, I am considering it from a designers point of view, before any components have been purchased. So how would I achieve this?
From my very basic understanding:
In a 1v/octave design, 1 step or semitone is 1/12 = 83.33mV. Therefore, if I require 5 octaves then a reference voltage of 5.0813V is required?
how is the gate and pitch considered into this ?
