Midi controlled audio gate

[Neutral]

Does any one here know of the existence of a Midi controlled audio gate?
Meaning a box that turns an audio signal on or off (various volumes would be even better) that is contolled by midi.
I want one

Didn't the SPX 90 do that?

Interesting, It probably does, I'll check that out

It's often possible to pick up 'unfashionable' MIDI sound modules cheap (FB01 etc). Runing the output to a simple envelope detector & then on to a LED/LDR combo (like the detector part of a compressor) gives you the start of a simple MIDI volume control (or a MIDI wah, or whatever!). I only put this foward because, people might have the bits lying around, and if you like hacking, it would be an easy mod.
Also, ther eare plenty of MIDI lighting controllers that output multiple 0-10v control signals, and these can easily drive simple voltage controled amplifiers.
I'm not a programmer, so I'm always keen to use someone else's sweat!

Although not specificly designed for this purpose, the midibox can be used for this purpose.  After building the core modual you can attach a dout modual to run LED's.  Using an optoisolater you can then use the midibox to gate a signal.  A buffer before the optoisolater and a buffer afterwards and you should have a pretty decent gate.  Information on building the mdibox can be found here.  http://www.ucapps.de/index.html.  I haven't actually constructed the gate portion yet, but it should work in theory.
