The MCX16 is a MIDI-CV converter that is available assembled or as a DIY kit. It provides a total of 16 outputs – 8 gates & 8 CV’s .
The DIY kit assembly time is estimated at 3 to 3.5 hours. The kit is a mix of SMT and hole-mounted components.
Features/Specs:
- 16 channels, configured as 8CV, and 8 Gate, assignable CC/Note/Gate/Velocy/Mod,Bend, etc.
- 1 DIN Sync port.
- High quality converter.
- Designed primary for modular systems but controls any synthesiser
- Useful for many other applications, stage light, robotics, tempo controlled.
- Quick response times to CC changes.
- Schematics included.
- Accurate 12bit DAC for each CV channel, with internal precision reference.
- Gates generates 0 to +5V as standard, can be updated with a ULN2803 to control up to +50V.
- Gates can behave as programmable midi syncable clocking nets with adjustable rate.
- LED?€™s for active MIDI and DIN clock on display board.
- Low-power design, +/-12 to +/-16V.
- Physically small, requires very little real estate into any modular or mono syntheziser.
- Very easy user interface, no endless paging up and down in LCD menus.
- DIN sync, Start/Stop and Clock signals, invertable.
- DIN sync has selectable clock rates.
- Use any jacks size
- Can drive weird synths like EML (1,2V), Moog Source (0,98V), etc.
- Trimless design, physically small hardware.
- Very few components, only one +8,000V calibration to do.
- 4 DAC channels has zipper step smoothing on controller board, user defined RC rates by hardware.
- 4 System program setups available for instant recall.
- MCX16 is a universal converter, can run stand alone without any display and buttons.
