Dam you're a beast on the tech side

One thing I wanted to add pretty quickly on was a panel just for the CV/Gate outputs right in my main rack and ditch the longer patch cables. So here is what I came up with. I am hoping for a sort of standard too, so hackers please listen in.
Eight outputs and GND/0V mean a nine pin din is perfect for this cable snake. Simply use a standard 9 Pin DIN serial cable and if you decide to build one for yourself, just use the standard 9 pin numbering. Output pin 1-8 is pin one through eight on the serial connector and pin 9 is Gnd/0V. This streamlines it into my setup nicely. Without costing a bundle too.
The outside case mod is pretty easy to do and you don't even have to detach all of the internal MPCX's cables making it one of the quickest mods I have completed to a piece of hardware.

If you are interested in this mod, let me know, and please let me know how you are using your CV jacks.

Do you experience any latency using the MIDI TO CV converter. (MUC810 - midi-CV converter, 16ch)


none whatsoever, this is industrial grade (+16bit)

but i must add the individual (MIDI) outs on the MPC4000 are also tight as v.pussy

+1 metaphor use. We could be homies. But not the homies that cross swords and unlock v.pussy. Sorry.

This is awesome, I'm just getting into modular and have a Live II. Are you still making these kits by any chance? I'm relatively inexperienced with modding anything electronic, how much needs to be done internally?
