The MOTM-650 packs all these features into a 2U wide module, using the latest SMT data converters, low-drift op amps and precision voltage references. Most MIDI-CV converters use 12-bit DACs: the MOTM-650 uses a true 16-bit DAC, and an octal 10-bit DAC for the Velocity/Aux outputs. No other MIDI-CV converter has as many features in a small space.

There will be an optional firmware upgrade that adds additional features such as MIDI-sync'd LFOS and the ability to chain units. This will be a low-cost (<$50) upgrade.
