Suggestions for Poly synth that can be CV/Gate controlled?

Actually, there are very few polyphonic synths that have cv/gate inputs for more than one voice.

The only thing I can think of is an SEM 2, 4 or 8 Voice. Which is serious cash.

For non-rackmount, maybe a Jupiter 4 or Mono/Poly - both of which I in the past needed to modify to have polyphonic cv/gate inputs.

As for other rackmounts, I highly doubt it.

Seriously, most poly analogs have midi, with the exception of a few beasts like the Korg PS series, earlier Prophet 5's, etc.

Can anyone else chime in here?

Oh, there are various polysynths like the Mono/Poly that have one single cv/gate in - but why bother when you can simply use midi, seeing as I can't even think of any other non-midi rackmount polysynth.

Ah yes the Matrix 12. On that note, the Oberheim Xpander isn't rackmount, but it's close enough and can be cv-controlled.

Although it really doesn't make any sense if the unit already has midi.

Actually, the big question is why do you want a polysynth that could only have one voice controlled over cv/gate?

Oberheim Xpander would be really nice. Pricey though.

ok thanks, although it does say on the VSE page:
"get that elastic 303 groove workin' your other synths (especially cool with a polyphonic synth)"

Thats what got me thinking about it.

VSE says a lot of things.  That is definitely one of the funniest things I've read.

I mean maybe if you have some mults and a massive modular or something...

The Xpander is ideal for this.  I've just been using my modular to control 3 voices on my Xpander using CV & gate.  I used a Topobrillo Quantimator quantiser module which sends out 3 CV's for a chord from one CV in.  It can also be used as a shift register which cycles through the notes of the chord.  The crystal bell sound which comes in at 3.17 on the track below is the Xpander controlled by CV & Gate.  I used the same voice on all 3 patches pitched 12 tones apart and panned out.

About 2500 USD. If you get lucky sometimes you can find them for 1500-2000 USD.

Do you already have a eurorack modular? Because you gotta buy a 300-400 USD powered case used first before you start filling it with modules like the quantimator. And once you get into modular you have no money forever.

I started building one a few months back.

That's interesting, i've always liked the Monopoly, will look into it more.
Been using the 303 with the Juno60 filter for a while, it sounds nice when the cutoff is low.
