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.
- Controls the Poly-61’s keyboard from MIDI. The instrument’s tone parameters (control elements on panel) are not MIDI controllable.
- The instrument’s keyboard is controlled manually and by MIDI Note On/Off commands simultaneously (in parallel manner).
- Easy user control of the interface parameters via MIDI CCs (as well as SysEx for experts):
» 61 MIDI Notes (5 octaves) range
» Transpose function (over whole range of MIDI Notes)
» Four modes of MIDI Notes priority can be chosen
» The instrument’s DCOs can be detuned by MIDI Pitch Bend (in semitone steps only) in range 0 to ±24 semitones
» Hold pedal – CC #64 (works with MIDI Notes)
» User selectable MIDI Channel for communication - Internal memory 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.
- Very easy installation without the instrument circuits modification.
The interface recognizes MIDI commands:
- Note On/Off
- Pitch Bend
- Standard CCs (Hold, ASO, ANO, RAC)
- Own CCs (# 16-18)
- Common System Reset
