-AOUT modules generate analog voltages (and gate signals) controlled by Midibox. Usually these are used to drive Analog Synthesizers.+====== ​AOUT Module ======
  
-The following modules are available:+{{ :neonking:​mbhp_aout_3.jpg?​400 |}}

-[[aout_ng|AOUT_NG Module]] (new AOUT Module)\\+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.
