Vermona qMI - quad MIDI Interface - Manual (Page 13)

Utilization
Setting the MIDI-Channels
1. Press MIDI CH (4), the corresponding green LED will be lit.
2. Select the MIDI-channel (1-16) using the rotary-switch (2).
3. Press one or multiple push-buttons (6) to select the CV/Gate channels
to be addressed from the selected MIDI-channel. The corresponding
red LEDs will be lit.
4. To assign another channel, select another MIDI-channel using the
rotary-switch (2) and press one or more CV/Gate channel push-but-
tons (6) consecutively.
5. Press MIDI CH (3) once more to exit channel assignment mode. The
green LED will turn off. The assignments are automatically stored and
kept even with the modular system being switched off.
Connecting the Gate- and Key-CV-Outputs
Once the MIDI-channels are assigned, the qMI - quad MIDI interface is
ready to play. However, you will need to assign the key-CV- and gate-out-
puts to their targets.
For example, a simple synthesizer patch is build out of a VCO, a VCF and a
VCA. The filter's cutoff-frequency and the VCA are controlled by an enve-
lope generator. The first connection is the assignment of key-CV to the
oscillator (VCO). Patch a cable from the module's corresponding 1V/OCT
output to the VCO's CV-input. Many oscillators offer more than a single CV-
input. The input to handle key-CV often has a different labeling, depending
on the manufacturer, e.g. CV1, 1V/Oct-In or Main-CV.
When using multiple VCOs, the key-CV needs to be distributed. You may
use the system bus to transfer key-CV to the oscillators if using channel 1
of the qMI - quad MIDI interface. Unfortunately, not all oscillators support
this handy feature. Please consult the respective documentations. In case,
bus-CV is not supported, key-CV has to be distributed using a multiple.
Note that using multiples may cause a loss of signal quality which may
result in pitch corruption. Here, we recommend using buffered multiples.
