Kenton Electronics Pro-2000

RackmountDigital

Back in the early MIDI days, this converter was a game-changer for breathing new life into vintage mono-synths, letting digital sequencers command analog beasts with precision that felt almost magical.

Housed in a rugged steel case measuring 280 x 132 x 42mm and weighing a solid 2.5kg, it packs two fully independent CV/gate outputs with 16-bit D/A converters for rock-steady pitch tracking, switchable across V/Oct, Hz/V, and 1.2V/Oct scalings. Six programmable aux outputs (12-bit resolution) respond to any MIDI controller on any channel, while dual internal LFOs offer nine waveforms including random and sync to clock for modulating CV or aux. You'll find a 16x2 LCD for editing, MIDI In/Out/Thru, DIN Sync24, clock pulse out (1-12 cpqn plus 24/48 modes), and options like rack ears or expansion ports; gates handle up to 15V V-trig or S-trig, with portamento, transpose, pitchbend, and note priority all tweakable per channel. Power is mains via IEC, auto-set for your region.

Users have long praised its bulletproof build and vast flexibility for hybrid setups, though some note the menu-diving can feel a touch fiddly by modern standards.
