Title: Beginner Question: How to hook up non-CV hardware
Post by: jonagold on November 24, 2021, 08:28:30 pm
Dear fellow BeatStep Pro owners, dear Arturia support crew

I apologize in advance for asking such a basic question, but after doing quite a lot of google research I couldn't find a proper answer I am afraid.

I purchased the BeatStep Pro as a central sequencer to control the rest of my hardware (BassStation II, Roland TR-8S and TB-3, Korg Monologue) in one centralized place for a potential future live setup. I was under the impression that I could hook those up with the color-coded sections (purple for the TR-8S, yellow/green for two other synths) respectively - but they all only have MIDI in and output, and no CV in to use the nicely color-coded mini-jack cables with.

I am sure I must have a rather fundamental lack of knowledge, but would very much appreciate any hints on how to setup my equipment. At the basic level, I would like to understand how I can connect and assign the three sections to three external synths with just one MIDI out?

Many thanks again!
