[KRM-90] MIDI-CV-Arpeggiator Retrofit
[KRM-90] MIDI-CV-Arpeggiator Retrofit
The [KRM-90] MIDI-CV-Arpeggiator retrofit board updates your monosynth with an arpeggiator, mini sequencer, additional LFO, portamento with 2 modes, multi-trigger, and other functions that modern electronic music producers expect. Use the mini sequencer to program your own arpeggiator pattern, or select one of the 7 built-in ones. Create 2 custom LFO shapes, in addition to the 9 standard shapes already included. The arpeggiator, mini sequencer, and LFO can be synced via MIDI.
The [KRM-90] supports all major CV standards, including 1V/oct, Hz/volt, Buchla or EML (1.2V/oct), and EMS (0.32V/oct). Gates can be configured as S-Trig or V-Trig, with a low (5 volt) or high voltage gate.
The board is small, 75x48 mm (2 15/16" x 1 7/8"), to fit into most synths. It requires a DC power source between 10 and 20 volts (at 30 mA).
The [KRM-90] has an extensive list of real-time performance controls. Now you can use all of those buttons and knobs on your MIDI controller, to get the most out of your vintage monosynth.
In addition to the CV, gate, and aux outputs, the [KRM-90] has a dedicated MIDI output. All note data, including the arpeggiator and mini sequencer, is echoed to the MIDI output.
You can chain MIDI devices together, or run the arpeggiator and mini sequencer output to a MIDI synth module. Note velocity, pitch bend, and mod wheel messages can be sent as well.
Does your synth have tuning issues at the extreme high or low range? Do you have a DIY VCO that doesn't conform to the standard V/octave or Hz/volt tuning systems? Do you want to experiment with microtonal scales?
In addition to the standard tuning curves, the [KRM-90] has a dedicated custom tuning table. Each semitone in this table can be fine-tuned to match your VCO response, or to create any arbitrary scale.
The custom tuning table can be toggled on and off, to quickly switch between standard and custom tuning.
All basic configuration can be done through the Learn Button, and your MIDI controller. This includes...
Are you a MIDI freak? Do you dream of SysEx?
Take total control of the [KRM-90] configuration. Set the power-on defaults to suit you. Create LFO shapes that track pitch to make exact intervals. Modify the anti-zipper settings to give your MIDI knobs and faders the perfect feel. Define custom tuning tables for exotic scales. Enable or disable Active Sense, All Notes Off, and Reset All Controllers messages, to make all of your MIDI devices play nicely together. Re-map any real-time function to any MIDI CC knob, fader, or button.
There are 55 configuration settings to play with, in addition to the custom arpeggiator pattern, mini sequencer memory, 2 custom LFO shapes, and the custom tuning table.
