General

The qMI - quad MIDI Interface is a MIDI to CV converter. It transforms
MIDI-notes, MIDI-controller-data and clock signals into analogue voltages
and gate signals. The module offers four channels (referred to as CV/Gate
channels) with individual CV- and gate outputs for note outputs. In addi-
tion, the module offers two CV-outputs per channel to control variable
parameters - independently or in combination. This makes the conversion
of monophonic and polyphonic MIDI-sequences with additional use of MIDI-
controllers possible with your modular synthesizer system.

The CV-output for pitches follow the established standard of 1 volt per
octave. All current oscillator modules and most vintage synthesizers should
support this conversion scheme.

The gate connector provides 10 volts output with positive polarity. Again,
this voltage is accepted by almost all modules at their gate inputs, e.g.
envelopes, switches, reset-inputs of LFOs, start/stop inputs of sequencers
etc. Clock and reset-outputs also provide 10 volts with positive polarity.

CV outputs 1 and 2 provide continuous control voltages between 0 and 5
volts, deriving from different MIDI-controllers.
