KENTON PRO 2000 MIDI to CV CONVERTER

"What do MIDI-CV Converters do?
In order to control pre-MIDI synthesisers from a modern MIDI instrument or sequencer, you need to change the digital MIDI messages into the kind of signals the pre-MIDI synth can understand.

The Pro-2000 mk II converter has 10 completely independent sections - called channels A,B,C and D plus Aux's 1 to 6. Each can be assigned it's own MIDI channel, and controlled independently from the others.

The Pro-2000 mk II has two independent, MIDI programmable LFO's that can modulate both the CV outputs, and the auxiliaries. Each of the CV channels A and B has a portamento function.

The auxiliary outputs now have the following additional functionality, the first two of which allow the Pro-2000 mk II to control a further 3 CV/Gate synths if required (making a total of 5): -V/Oct from Notes - Gate from Notes - Trig Pulse (for synths requiring a trig as well as a gate i.e. Arp 2600).

The Pro-2000 mk II has intelligent MIDI sync. This means that if MIDI sync is selected and is in operation, the 2000 will automatically recalculate the LFO speed in order to fit a whole LFO waveform between MIDI clocks (or multiples of clocks depending on the setting of the sync divide).

# Full 128 note range now implemented on all outputs giving CV out.
# Auto portamento feature added to enable playing style to dictate whether portamento is used
# Memory increased from 7 to 24, so even more setups can be stored!
