One of the things I like about the Solo line (I have 3 of the first generation Pro-Solo's) is that they basically print the manual on the unit itself. The USB Solo is a class-compliant USB MIDI device, and doesn’t require installing any drivers, just plug and play. In addition to this, the USB Solo also features a Sync24 output, so your vintage Roland equipment can join in as well. The Gate output can work at several different voltage levels, and can also be set to work a S-trig instead. The scaling and tuning are adjustable, to accommodate any unruly synths. The CV output can operate at 1V/Oct, Hz/Volt or 1.2V/Oct. The USB Solo still maintains the famous Kenton tuning stability though, as well as full scale range on the CV and auxiliary outputs thanks to its internal power circuitry.

With no MIDI interface necessary, and no external power supply, cabling clutter is kept to a minimum.

From their description:Īs it both connects and is powered directly from USB, the USB Solo is all you need to control an analogue synthesizer from a computer.

Their latest Pro-Solo Mk3 seems like it hits all the buttons for you. They have been making MIDI>CV converters for decades. If you don't mind external ones, look at the Kenton offerings.
