Vermona qMI - quad MIDI Interface - Manual (Page 17)

Polyphony in modular synthesizer systems always comes at expenses. All
modules in a patch need to be available in appropriate numbers. For exam-
ple, even a simple patch will require four VCOs, four filters, four VCAs and
eight envelope generators. Also, a corresponding mixer and multiples have
to be available. More complex patches will, of course, lead to more complex
module configurations. An alternative solution could be the use of modules
that combine multiple functions in a single unit, such as Doepfer's A-111-5
or Cwejman's VM-1. Both offer a complete synthesizer voice in a unit that
only needs to be assigned to key-CV/GATE. Analogue Solutions also offers
SY02 and SY03 modules that each combine a filter and a VCA. Finally, there
are modules available that offer two or four identical functions in a single
space-saving unit, such as four envelope generators, LFOs or VCAs.
Control voltage outputs (CV1 / CV2)
In addition to the outputs for key-CV and gate, each of the qMI - quad
MIDI interface's four channels offers two control voltage outputs. These
outputs provide CV-signals with up to 5 volts. The control voltages pro-
vided here derive from incoming MIDI-controller signals. Each CV-output
can be assigned to one of four possible MIDI-controllers.
For output CV1 select between:
1 MOD WHEEL (MIDI-CC# 1)
2 AFTERTOUCH
3 VELOCITY
4 VOLUME (MIDI-CC# 7)
For output CV2 select between:
5 MOD WHEEL (MIDI-CC# 1)
6 AFTERTOUCH
7 VELOCITY
8 PITCH BEND
