Re: Voice to MIDI thru voc proc and guitar synth?

["Ian Popperwell" <popperwell@iname.com>]

Hi,

I'm remembering the Korg X911 (I think) that Mark mentioned above as well 
as 
an early 80s Roland rack-mounted pitch-CV synth module - as already said, 
these were not MIDI. I'm dragging my memory now and also remembering a 
Fairlight pitch to MIDI unit called something like the VoiceTracker. As a 
wind player I tried the Korg and Roland units with the flute, but then 
moved 
onto MIDI wind controllers and away from trying to track the real sound.
