The General CV is a powerhouse in a tiny package, acting as a sequencer, host processor, and effects unit all-in-one. It’s a brilliant choice for experimental musicians and those wanting to explore intricate, voltage-controlled patterns without a massive rack. Just be prepared to spend some time digging into its depths – it's not a beginner's module.

PROS
- • Remarkable CV to MIDI conversion, incredibly versatile for complex sequencing.
- • Integrated effects (reverb/chorus) add depth without external modules.
- • Algorithmic chord/arpeggio generation unlocks creative possibilities instantly.
- • Compact 12HP footprint maximizes space in dense modular setups.
CONS
- • Steep learning curve due to the sheer density of features.
- • Limited polyphony restricts complexity in certain sequencing scenarios.
- • Relatively high power draw can strain smaller power supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly capable, but lacks the granular control of dedicated arpeggiators; however, the convenience is a huge win.
Absolutely! It can function as a straightforward converter, but its true strength lies in its more advanced capabilities.
Each trigger input can output MIDI note messages, allowing for sophisticated drum sequencing and triggering of external synths.
