Main Features |
- The interface works in one direction only – it only receives MIDI data. Instrument’s keyboard, knobs, sliders and switches are not transmitted as a MIDI data.
- MIDI Thru function (no MIDI Thru-box is necessary).
- Controls the Vermona’s VCOs, VCF, VCA and EG circuits directly from MIDI. The instrument’s tone parameters (control elements on panel) are not MIDI controllable.
- The instrument’s keyboard (VCOs) is controlled only manually or only by MIDI Notes – not both ways simultaneously.
- Easy user control of the interface parameters via MIDI CCs (as well as SysEx for experts):
» 44 MIDI Notes (3 2/3 octaves) range, Velocity sensitive (VCF and VCA control)
» Transpose function (over whole range of MIDI Notes)
» Hold pedal – CC #64 (works with MIDI Notes)
» Legato pedal – CC #68 (tone change without envelope re-trigger)
» Aftertouch (used for instrument’s VCF and VCA modulation, adjustable range)
» Pitch Bend (selectable range ±0 to ±12 semitones)
» User defineable optical indication of the interface status
» User selectable MIDI Channel for communication - 32 internal memory presets to store the interface user settings (the instrument’s tone parameters cannot be stored).
- Original features of the instrument are not changed and the instrument can be used the same way as before the interface installation.
- Easy installation without the instrument circuits modification.
The interface recognizes MIDI commands:
- Note On/Off (inc. Velocity)
- Channel Aftertouch
- Program Change
- Pitch Bend
- Standard CCs (Hold, Legato, ASO, ANO, RAC)
- Own CCs (# 16-28)
- Common MIDI Synchronization – MIDI Clock
- Common System Reset
- System Exclusive Messages
