I am going to try a G2M and B2M to drive the SP via these midi to cv units .

Does the Gr 20 have a mono mode? I had a G2M for a while. The latency annoyed me, but I found that I could use an envelope follower the trigger the envelopes faster than the midi and a little glide to smooth out any glitches.

For your question 2: do you mean that you hear no audio at all when plugging an external source in?
If not, remember the SP needs to be 'gated' for the sound to be heard. So either play a key, or get a patch lead and plug it into the Gate In on the back, that will keep the gate wide open. (edit - subject to VCA env settings etc)

Thanx for replys.Ya those g2m/b2m have terrible lag :( They get to go back to store.I did plug a patch chord to open gate .prolly wrong input(doh!)I'll insert into KB in then try the audio in with instrument.As for the envelope follower,I will try the Qtron.Thanx again.
