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.

For the price, this really is the best value converter on the market, anywhere. The versatility of this unit is awesome.

    Power:         230v AC 50Hz (170v - 260v) or 115v AC 50/60Hz (85v - 130v).
     Dimensions:         280mm x 132mm x 42mm
     Weight:         2.5Kg
     MIDI:         In Out and Thru
     Outputs:

• CV on 3.5mm jack (V/oct or Hz/V)
• Gate on 3.5mm jack (Gate or S-trig)
• Aux on 3.5 mm jack
• 15 pin High Density D or 8 pin Mini Din (with optional expansion port)

     Options:         DCB port with cable, KADI/WASP port with cable

• 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 (this means ALL settings for synth outputs A & B)
• Main CV outputs A & B are independently switchable for V/oct & Hz/V & 1.2V/oct 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)
• Two different types of Portamento are selectable (fixed rate / fixed time)
• 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
• Polyphonic operation selectable with 3 note assignment types
• 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
