What do MIDI-CV Converters do?
In order to control pre-MIDI synthesisers from a modern MIDI instrument or sequencer, you need to change the digital MIDI messages into the kind of signals the pre-MIDI synth can understand.
Features
- Designed to control all types of mono-synth
- Super-fast response time
- Famous Kenton build quality
- Rugged steel case
- Main CV outputs have high specification 16 bit D/A converters for rock-steady pitches
- Auxiliary outputs have 12 bit D/A converters
- Mains powered - internally selectable 230/115 volts (IEC socket on back panel)
- Units are shipped pre-set to the correct voltage for your country
- 16x2 Character LCD display
- 24 memory locations for setups
- Midi In socket
- Midi Out socket (for MIDI channel filter and SysEx dumps)
- Midi Thru socket
- Din Sync 24 socket
- Clock output with selectable 1 to 12 cpqn plus 24 and 48 cpqn modes
- Any MIDI channel can be selected for any output
- Two completely independent main CV outputs
- Main CV outputs switchable for V/oct & HZ/V scaling systems
- Fine tune & scale are software controllable
- Transpose (coarse tune) - up & down 12 semitones
- Adjustable pitchbend range +/- 12 semitones
- Programmable Gate V-trig (up to 15v) or S-trig (with or without pull-up)
- Multiple and single trigger modes
- Note priority selection - newest / lowest / highest
- Old notes are remembered to facilitate trill effects and increase playability
- Portamento on main CV outputs
- Auto Portamento mode selectable on main CVs (where legato playing turns on Portamento)
- Portamento Controllers are selectable
- 6 Programmable Auxilary outputs controllable by any MIDI controller on any MIDI channel
- 2 Programmable and independant LFOs - each with 9 wave shapes including random
- LFO can modulate pitch &/or AUX outputs
- Separate Controllers for LFO to CV and LFO to AUXes
- LFOs can be synchronised to MIDI clock
- Channel filter to 'channelise' an 'omni-on' synth
- All parameters are controllable in real-time by SysEx
- SysEx dump and load of current program and any memory
- Set-up are stored in non-volatile memory for easy recall
- MIDI monitor mode - for easy MIDI troubleshooting
- Optional add-on port for KADI or DCB on its own MIDI channel
