Yes, you can. You can also get one of many cv to midi converters available too. One of the akia mpk's has a CV out as well. There is also something called a "QuNexus" that is supposed to be a really bad a*s cv to midi controller as well. I havent used it, but I am ttold it can do some crazy stuff.

thx huys, from what i read , the minibrute works also as a MIDI to CV Gate interface , wich is absolutely great. My only concern is cv connection on minibrute are minijack while on pro one are 1/4 jack. You know were i can buy short patch lead like there , or , is it convienent to use an adapter from jack to minijack or viceversa? thx

Yeah standard adapters are fine (TRS is no problem). Doepfer also makes nice 1/8 to 1/4 jacks.

Any shop that sells audio gear should have adapters for that. They're cheap too.
