MIDImplant is described as the smallest MIDI to Control Voltage (MIDI2CV) converter ever made. As long as your vintage synthesizer has volt/oct response (in contrary to Hz/volt) you can use this little board to add MIDI to it.

It’s calibrated at 1V/oct, but any ratio is possible, from 0.3V/oct to 2V/oct. Hz/V response will be available too, as one of the features of new firmware being under development now. You only need to drill a hole for MIDI DIN socket, and connect a few wires inside your synthesizer. Basic soldering skills are needed as well as a bit of knowledge about your synth. Its service manual, or at least schematic is most helpful.

Features:

  • Up to 61 keyboard range for standard 1V/oct ratio
  • Fast response – valid CV and Gate voltages appear 0.3ms after MIDI transmission ends.
  • Voltages are generated with precision better than 2 cents (2/100 of a semitone) at 1V/oct ratio
  • User selectable Volt/octave ratio with resolution of less than 1mV/oct, easily adjusted with use of MIDI keyboard – no trimming screwdriver needed
  • Standard version works with V-trigger type of gating signal. Gate ON level is equal to the power supply voltage delivered to MIDImplant. For S-trigger compatible synths, order MIDImplant-S.
  • Each output of MIDImplant can be easily configured by the user to generate voltage representation of MIDI signals like:
    • MIDI notes with velocity. One input represents pitch, the other one velocity, while GATE1 controls the note duration.
    • MIDI notes on 2 different channels. Each Gate output works together with paired CV output.
    • MIDI pitchbend with resolution of more than 4000 steps
    • Any of 128 available MIDI Continuous Controller, e.g. volume, modulation, etc.
    • Channel Aftertouch, and Polyphonic Aftertouch
    • MIDI Program Change – voltage level represents Program number received via MIDI
  • Both inputs can work independently, that means one can be notes, the other – velocity. Or both can represent pitch of notes on different channels. Or one can be Pitchbender, and the other one – modulation. Combinations are endless.
  • Each input can work on user defined MIDI channel, but if MIDI OMNI ON mode is selected, both outputs respond to MIDI signals on any channel
  • Both CV outputs can generate voltages in range between 0V and 5V
  • dimmensions: 15×36mm (0.6”x1.4”) without MIDI socket 
  • Details are available at the MIDImplant site.

      something to think about

      In New York, everyone talks about themselves. The word “I” must permeate the air.

      If you could clean the air of every other word and just hear all the I’s sticking out, it’d be like rain… I, i, i, I, i, i, I…
      — Brian Eno
