Is the information received by an instrument via the Sequencer Control CV ports the same as the information it receives when the instrument is selected and played using a MIDI keyboard?
Thanks, Dave
MIDI vs. Sequencer Control Information
Sortof..
The information that is being reconstructed after transmission is almost the same.. The way the information is transmitted differs.
MIDI:
Note on contains velocity and pitch.
Note off contains pitch and if available note off velocity.
CV:
Pitch CV sets pitch.
Gate CV opens a gate, in the reason world the level of the gate cv is used as velocity data.
MIDI control is polyphonic.
CV is monophonic.

Indeed, if you play it with a midi keyboard you can also expect other controller data like (polyphonic) aftertouch, various pedals, modulation and pitch bend wheel, program changes etc. Those can however also be send using CV.selig wrote:Also, a MIDI data stream can contain LOTS of additional information that CV does not.
The main theme is, midi encapsulates everything into one data stream. With CV you need 1 cable per signal that you want to transmit. In the end you get the same information albeit monofonic when cv is used; polyfonicpolyphonic when midi is used.
