I want to buy the moog sub 37, but it has no gate or cv outputs. In order to get those, i need to buy the cv edition, but could i just convert midi to cv and gate on the non-cv version with a midi converter, and would it have the exact same effect/sound exactly the same, as if i would have had the cv edition and used the cv/gate outputs on that.

Not quite sure what you're asking here, but MIDI and CV have no effect on the sound at all. That said, the Moog Sub 37 has MIDI in and out, as well as MIDI over USB. It also has CV inputs. So if you want to control the Sub 37 from another synth, you can do it via MIDI or CV. Conversely, if you want to use the Sub 37 to control other synths, you can do that via MIDI, or convert the MIDI to CV (which I think is what you were asking).

Either way, this won't affect the quality of the sound. If you decide to control the Sub 37 via CV, you might lose some of the controller and modulation options that the Sub 37 can respond to over MIDI, but that still wouldn't affect the quality of the sound. It may not sound "exactly the same" as if you were controlling it via MIDI, since MIDI can transmit (and the Sub 37 can receive) several types of MIDI controller data that aren't available via CV.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, it helped, but what about gate outputs? Is there any way i can use a converter or such (for example midi to gate), to make a gate output from the sub 37?

In general, which synth are you trying to use as a controller?
