FVC - Polyphonic Four Voice Controller for Eurorack

Image
Eurorack version designed for Behringer 2-XM (Works with any MIDI equipped synth with 0-10V CV inputs)          Envelope - ADSR plots There are no Digital to Analogue   Converters -DACs  used in this design. The only additional components on the FVCs are op-amps to boost the 5v output to 10V. The ProMicro supports analogue output using PWM. If this happens at a very high frequency the output is very smooth. The output is filtered with a simple RC filter and there is no digital noise picked up by the synth. The Attack is 0-10s with Decay and Release up to 15s. The envelope is exponential. Here are some plots from various ADSR settings:           Basic Version - No CV Control  FVC-1         Four Voice Controller with Keyboard Logic and Faux Vibrato       All functions are controlled with CC numbers  so you need a controller keyboard     Polyphonic control of 4 MIDI chann...

Simple MIDI USB Clock Converter

Simple MIDI USB Clock Converter for Analogue Sequencers Title says it all really. I have several analogue sequencers that I designed and built years ago and I clock them with a Kenton Pro Solo Mk3. This unit can switch the MIDI THRU port to SYNC24 mode to work with Roland Drum Machines. This is a great solution but does tie up my Kenton which uses with my Editor and needs MIDI THRU for 2 way comms. Features USB In 5V Reset Pulse Out 5V Clock Pulse Out Clock Divide control - 7 divisions Whole - Half - 1/4 - 1/8 - 1/16 1/4T - 1/8T - 1/6T Very simple project with few components Arduino and the Pro Micro  I realised it was a simple job to reprogram on of my Pro Micros to convert MIDI Clock and Stop/Start messages. I've used it for a few weeks and its a worker so I thought I build proper unit: Like my SYNC24 breakout box this will be mounted on the back of an existing 19" rack panel.
