Introduction
The M2CV is a quick and easy to use module that allows control of analogue devices from a MIDI controller. The M2CV is straight forward MIDI to CV conversion - easy to use.
Use
Connecting
Connect the MIDI sequencer or other MIDI device to the MIDI input of the M2CV.
Normally CV1 (PITCH) goes to the pitch CV input of your synth. CV2 goes to any other CV input, like filter cut-off CV. Gate goes to the Gate or Trigger input o your synth.
Make sure the M2CV is on the right MIDI channel and away you go!
Details
The MIDI activity light will be lit whenever there is a gate voltage present (i.e. whenever 1 or more MIDI keys are held).
The Pitch CV out (CV1) conforms to 1V per Octave.
The controller CV out (CV2) responds to MIDI controller 1 (mod Wheel). It has a 0 to 10V range. Controller number cannot be changed. Resolution is 7 bit.
Legato
When 1 or more notes are overlapped, this output will change from 0 to 5V. It will return to 0V when no notes are overlapping. This output is ideal for activating devices like portamento, LFO reset, Clock inputs, VCF cut-off etc.
Accent
When a MIDI velocity of over 99 is received, the Accent output will go from 0 to 5V. It will not return back to 0V till it receives a MIDI note velocity value of less the 100. This output is ideal for accenting notes by connecting it to a VCA or filter cut-off input. It could also clock a sequencer or other device.
MIDI Channel Selection
Programming the M2CV is a very simple proceedure.
Press and hold the PROGRAM button. Then press a MIDI key.
The M2CV will set its MIDI receive channel to the MIDI channel the keyboard is transmitting on.
CV2 Control Source Assignment:
If a key was pressed to set MIDI channel, then CV2 will assign to velocity. If a controller was used to set channel, then CV2 will assign itself to that controller number.
The Push button is a manual Gate trigger button.
