-AOUT modules generate analog voltages (and gate signals) controlled by Midibox. Usually these are used to drive Analog Synthesizers.

+AOUT modules generate **Analog (Control) Voltages (and gate signals)** *. It provides 8 control voltage (CV) outputs with **12 bit resolution** and 2 gate outputs. It is used by various MIDIbox projects to control analog synthesizers and/or FX gear.
+\\
+\\
+The MAX525 DACs feature better performance than the one used on the [[AOUT_NG]]. **So for perfectionists wanting to drive analog VCOs with maximum tuning precision, the AOUT is the right choice**. Bipolar operation is possible but needs some external parts. Althought, MAX525 is quite expensive and has limited availability.
