Some of the more expensive midi-cv converters can do multiple channels. I think the Kenton Pro 2000 will do two independent channels. Elby designs sells a box called a PolyDAC that will do multiple channels. I have one I built one based on the ucapps.de midibox that has 8 gates and 8 cv's and can be...

I love the Serge DUSG "envelopes". If you set the decay too long it will ignore incoming triggers so it works like a clock divider as well. Feeding it a constant 16th note clock then modulating the delay length gives funky note length variations. Another trick that works with most voltage ...
