MIDI Interfaces

MIDI In and Thru (no MIDI Out)
Receives on channels 1 to 16 (stored on 2 distinct channels) and Channel Omni.
Recognized MIDI messages:
• Note ON/OFF with Transposition
• Aftertouch (assignable to filter, modulation, or volume)
• Modulation (CC#1)
• Filter (CC #74) responding to velocity
• Sustain (CC#64)
• Portamento On/Off (CC#65)
• Volume (CC#7)
• Pitch Bend (1 to 12 semitones)

The interface is equipped with a dual-channel 16-bit DAC for the CVs of both VCOs, a 12-bit DAV for continuous controls, and a quadruple VCA that makes the synthesizer MIDI velocity-sensitive by controlling the instrument's two envelope generators (EGs) and two VCFs.

Both parts of the synthesizer can be controlled on two different MIDI channels or in Layer/Split mode.

Pricing: €300 Net for the complete kit for self-installation, €450 Net installed at the Concoret workshop (shipping costs for the instrument, round trip, additional)
