MIDI converters & accessories

Notes: You push the button and the audiowerkstatt din-restarter starts or stops the following sequencer at the beginning of the next bar (4/4-stroke only) in perfect timing.

If the sequencer is running, it will be stopped at the next bar and if the sequencer is standing, it is started at the next bar.

The device operates as a standard in "Sync24"-mode (24 clock pulses per quarter note). By holding the button when switching on, the device is started in "Sync48"-mode (48 clock pulses per quarter note).

Notes: Cleanly and conveniently extend the MRCC's MIDI outputs with the Remote 7! Adds five routable 5 Pin DINs, plus two shared 3.5MM TRS MIDI jacks (one MIDI TRS standard type A, and one type B) over a shielded Ethernet cable. A 10-metre (32 ft.) Ethernet cable is included and automatically added to your order.

This requires the MRCC, which is sold separately. Only one Remote 7 can be connected to an MRCC. If you are connecting 2 MRCC together, you will need a custom RJ45 splitter (coming soon) to use the Remote 7. See the forum for details.

Order the MRCC Remote 7 for delivery with MRCC when ordered from Conductivelabs.com shop.

The orders ship from Conductive Labs' Hong Kong based fulfillment warehouse partner.

Included with the Remote 7 is a 10 meter (32') Ethernet cable* to connect Remote 7 to MRCC.

*If you want to use your own Ethernet cable, it must have shielded connectors that are connected to each other via a drain wire in the cable. CAT6a (or better) Ethernet cables with shielded connectors (metal shrouds over the connectors) are typically connected in this way.

The connections from the RJ45 on MRCC to the Remote 7 are MIDI, and those signals are not actively repeated. In theory you should subtract the length of the Ethernet cable from the max length coming out of the Remote 7. That is, if you have a 30' Ethernet cable from MRCC to Remote 7, subtract 30 from 50 for the max cable length from a Remote 7 output. In practice, when using good quality MIDI cables you can probably use a 50' cable to the Remote 7, and 6' MIDI cables from the Remote 7 to your gear. YMMV.

The 2 TRS jacks on the Remote 7 are hard wired to 2 of the 5 pin DINs. When using the shared DIN and TRS output at the same time, the voltage will be lowered, kind of like using a headphone splitter. A maximum 6 foot TRS cable length is advised, though the MIDI.ORG does not specify a TRS to TRS cable, only a TRS to MIDI adapter with a maximum 6" length. There have been no noticeable problems using short (36") dollar store TRS cables.

Like MRCC outputs 7-12, Remote 7 outputs do not currently pass SysEx data.

Notes: MRCC XpandR 4×1 - a DIN Expander for MRCC and USB MIDI Interface

A DIN Expander for MRCC
A USB MIDI Interface
A stand-alone MIDI Merger

Need More MIDI Inputs?

When MRCC's 6 routable DIN and TRS inputs just aren't enough, the MRCC XpandR 4×1 adds 4x DIN Inputs (and a shared 3.5mm TRS), and 1x DIN Output (plus 3.5mm TRS thru).

Up to four XpandRs can be attached to the MRCC's USB host ports. Inputs and the Output are routed the same way as MRCC's USB host MIDI virtual ports. So it's quick and easy to route XpandR's ports; it's like they were built-in to MRCC.

The XpandR is also a 4x Input, 1x Output USB class compliant MIDI interface for your PC, Mac, tablet, or what have you.

Or, use the Mode button to switch XpandR to a stand-alone 4 into 1 USB powered MIDI merger. In MIDI merger mode, the USB connector is only used to power the XpandR.

A two-colour indicator shows Power, Merge mode, MIDI Input and MIDI Output activity.

The MRCC XpandR 4×1 comes housed in a robust and beautiful anodized aluminium enclosure with hand-silk screened user interface, like the MRCC. A USB cable and User Guide are included.

Remote 7 vs XpandR 4×1

Q: What's the difference in I/O between MRCC Remote 7 and MRCC XpandR 4×1?
A: The MRCC Remote 7 adds 5 additional routable outputs to MRCC. These outputs are already built into MRCC. One Remote 7 per MRCC.
XpandR adds 4x DIN inputs, and one DIN output at the expense of an MRCC USB MIDI host port. Up to four XpandR's per MRCC, using MRCC's available USB host ports.

Q: How far away can Remote 7 and XpandR be from MRCC?
A: The Remote 7 comes with a 10M (33 foot) long Ethernet cable. The maximum cable length is about 50 feet (using short MIDI cables).
The XpandR comes with a 2M (6 foot) USB cable. The max supported USB cable length for USB 2.0 is 5M (16.5) feet.

Q: How is each device routed?
A: Remote 7 is routed with the MRCC "remote routing" button. Hold the remote routing button, then select the outputs to route to.
XpandR is routed using the MRCC USB host routing buttons. Select one of the four inputs, then select outputs.
Remote 7 is great for getting MIDI outputs to where you need them. And XpandR is best when you need more MIDI DIN inputs, with the additional utility of a MIDI interface and MIDI merger. Feel free to use both!

Notes: MSY2 is an interface that converts the MIDI realtime events Clock, Start and Stop into the corresponding signals Clock and Start/Stop of the SYNC standard. This standard was used e.g. in the Roland devices TB303 bass line or TR808 rhythm composer.

MSY2 is equipped with 2 SYNC DIN sockets (switched in parallel), a Clock miniature jack socket (3.5mm), MIDI-in and MIDI-Thru. SYNC-CLOCK is a periodic signal (0/+5V) representing the tempo. SYNC-START/STOP is a signal that indicates one of the 2 possible states: START = +5V, STOP = 0V. The Clock pin of the SYNC standard is additionally available from a miniature jack socket e.g. for synchronizing the arpeggio input of an analog synthesizer with MIDI.

MSY2 enables the 1:1 conversion of MIDI CLOCK into SYNC CLOCK (i.e. 1 MIDI clock triggers 1 SYNC clock pulse), as well as the reduction of the tempo by dividing the incoming MIDI clock frequency by an integer factor. The factor can be set to any value between 1 and 16 with a DIP switch at the bottom of the MSY2. This corresponds to 96...6 ppm or 24...1,5 ppq (ppm = pulses per measure / ppq = pulses per quarter note). Factor 1 corresponds to the 1:1 conversion. In this case the pulse width of the clock output is fixed to about 4 milliseconds. 16 is the maximum of frequency reduction, i.e. after 16 MIDI clocks 1 SYNC clock appears. For all dividing factors beyond 1 the pulsewidth of the clock signal corresponds to the selected dividing factor.

With two other switches the Start/Stop polarity and the Clock polarity can be changed for special applications not following the SYNC standard.

Notes: The KMI MIDI Expander enables you to use KMI gear such as SoftStep, 12 Step and QuNeo to control your MIDI hardware devices with 5-pin MIDI DIN connectors.

Plug in your MIDI devices to the KMI MIDI Expander and you're ready to send and receive MIDI data with or without a computer.

Notes: The Kenton Merge 4 can merge the data from up to 4 separate MIDI sources (e.g. Master keyboards or controllers) into a single MIDI data stream which appears at both of the MIDI out sockets. It features 4 opto-isolated MIDI inputs and 2 MIDI outputs.

The Kenton Merge 4 is powered from a mains adaptor (wall wart) so you can fit and forget.

Comes with multi-region power supply

Notes: ***B-STOCK: Box opened, product in perfect working order***


Your USB device is plugged into the MIDI USB Host mk3 instead of into a computer. It provides MIDI In & Out sockets for USB MIDI keyboards and controllers which have only a USB B type socket. For example, used with a USB-Solo, it allows the USB-Solo to be used in a standard MIDI setup, just like a Pro-Solo. It has a USB Host port (USB A type socket), a MIDI In and a MIDI Out (both 5 pin DIN).

The MIDI USB Host mk3 now has additional features. In addition to the standard operating mode, there are now two further modes.

Standard mode (LED Green):
MIDI data received at the MIDI In socket is sent to the USB device and MID data from the USB device is sent to the MIDI Out socket.

Merge 1 mode (LED Amber):
MIDI IN does not go to USB device but instead is merged with MIDI data coming from the USB device which is then sent to the MIDI Out socket.

Merge 2 mode (LED Red):
MIDI IN data is sent to the USB device & is also merged with MIDI data from the USB device which is then sent to the MIDI Out socket.

The modes are selected sequentially by pressing the recessed push button - the LED colour indicating which mode is current.

The attached USB MIDI device MUST be 'Class Compliant'.

The MIDI USB HOST is powered by a regulated 5V mains adaptor (supplied), and can supply up to 1 Amp of buss power to the attached USB device. This product is supplied with a multi-region power supply suitable for use in most countries.

Attractively finished in brushed aluminium with black screen print

Dimensions: 110mm x 55mm x 32mm

Connecting
You can connect one "Class Compliant" USB device directly into the MIDI USB Host. If your host has the latest firmware already installed then you can plug in a powered USB hub and up to four USB devices can then be connected. Earlier MIDI USB Host mkIIs can be updated with a free download which is available from the support section of our website. Serial numbers N6-2421 already have the hub compatible firmware. Serial numbers N3-0541and upward can be updated.

It is recommended that you attach your USB device to the MIDI USB Host before applying power. Then plug-in and power the power adaptor. The active LED should be lit up. If you apply power with nothing plugged into the MIDI USB Host, the Active LED will flash steadily; this is to indicate that it is waiting for a suitable device to be attached. If it is still flashing when you have attached your device, then it is possible that your device is not class compliant, however you could try turning off the power and start again.

Some USB MIDI devices have two modes of operation and can be set to operate in Class Compliant mode even if this is not the default. The Class Compliant mode might be called "generic driver", the other mode may be called something like "advanced driver". Consult the device manual to see if the mode can be set for Class Compliant.

If you unplug then re-plug the USB cable while it is powered the device might reconnect, but it is not certain.

Power

It is essential to use only the supplied 5V regulated power adaptor. Applying a voltage higher than 5V to the MIDI USB Host will probably not damage the MIDI USB Host itself, but it could damage any attached USB device as the 5V is passed on to the attached USB device for buss power. There is protection circuitry inside the MIDI USB Host to protect against reverse polarity and over-voltage, but these should be treated as a last resort and are not guaranteed to prevent damage to an attached USB device in the event of over-voltage as the USB buss voltage could rise to 6.5V before being clamped.

Care should be taken to ensure that power adaptors for other pieces of equipment are not accidentally plugged into the MIDI USB Host.

If the input voltage rises above 6.5 volts then power will be shut off. The LED will go out and the unit will not operate again until power has been removed for at least 60 seconds. This allows time for the thermal fuse to reset.

The following Yamaha keyboards ar known to be class compliant and therefore should work OK:

PSR-E353, PSR-E443
PSR-S670, PSR-S770, PSR-S970, PSR-A3000, TYROS-5
NP-12, NP-32
DGX-650, DGX-660
P-105, P-115, P-255

The following keyboards are known to incorporate a USB hub and therefore will only work with firmware v2005 or later (s/n N6-2421 and above) for the MIDI USB Host:

Korg Microkey 61
Korg Microkey 49
Korg Microkey 37

Notes: The Beat Converter can be programmed to send out a Note or Control Change message on the beat in response to MIDI Clock messages. This enables devices that only allow their tap tempo function to be controlled by a Note or Control Change message to be synchronized to devices that send MIDI Clock.

The Beat Converter is programmed by sending it MIDI System Exclusive messages (see FAQs - Programming). For a complete description of the programming options, see the Beat Converter Operating Instructions (.pdf file). Once programmed, settings are retained even after power is removed. The Beat Converter can be reprogrammed with new settings as often as needed.

The Beat Converter is MIDI-powered, and requires no batteries or power supply to operate with most MIDI products (see FAQs - Power and FAQs - LED for more information).

Notes: The Beat Indicator contains an ultra bright LED that can be programmed to flash on the beat in response to MIDI Clock messages. An invaluable tool for enabling drummers or live musicians to keep time with MIDI sequences during breaks or intros. The flash can be advanced or delayed by up to 128 ms from the actual beat, and the brightness of the flash is programmable. The Beat Indicator can also be programmed to flash in response to a Note or Control Change message.

It will get power from the USB MIDI host device and convert all incoming USB MIDI data and transmit it to DIN MIDI port. The will work with the most class compliant USB MIDI devices, which needs no driver to work.

The USB DC power adaptor is optional.

Notes: USB-MIDI to Serial Converter:
Mode Machines is proud to present the CerebelUSB, a tiny USB Host which makes possible to convert USB-MIDI Class Compliant devices in to standard MIDI (5 pin DIN conectors). Ideal for any situation where a Laptop or computer is not desired.

Making use of a wide range of small, portable and affordable USB-MIDI devices is now possible without a PC or Mac.

It's small size and light weight makes it perfect to fit anywhere, an extremely convenient tool for artist who gig around with just the right setup. CerebelUSB allows you to power other 5V USB Devices using the HUB, like smartphones, tablets, Camera, USB lights, etc.

CerebelUSB only works with USB devices which are MIDI Class Compliant. Even if announced as being so, many available products are non Class Compliant. Check the product manual of your device or contact the manufacturer to make sure your device is Class Compliant.

Arduino Brain:
CerebelUSB is based around Arduino for a very simple reason, allowing experienced users to upload their own firmware, upgrade the CPU easily or make use of the remaining pins for a huge amount of modifications and add-ons. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for the user.

It uses a Max32 Chip for the host functionality, sharing a compatible Pinout with most Arduino USB Host Shields on the market. This makes easy to use new firmwares already available on the internet for non programmers.

With the right firmware, It is possible to connect any USB device such as Joysticks, gamepads, wii-motes, Bluetooth devices, Webcams, DSLR cameras, Android devices and many others.

Notes: Realizing matching gaps in the market and their friends' workflows, Old Blood Noise Endeavors unveils their newest utility device, the MIDI to Expression Translator (MTET). MTET is a simple device for complex workflows.

It receives MIDI CC messages and turns them into expression outputs, allowing players to unlock MIDI control over their expression-enabled devices.

Where once there was only a foot, now there is envelope control, LFO control, snapping to preset positions: any MIDI shape can express an OBNE (or similar) device.

Language is hard: let's start at the start. Communication is complex, beautiful a real thorn in our sides. Many languages, dialects, standards. Some similar, some vastly different. A linear sweep, a barrage of Bits.

Music, of course, is meant to be the universal language, but Old Blood Noise Endeavors' devices don't see it that way.

The MIDI To Expression Translator (MTET) does exactly what it says on the tin. It receives MIDI messages from external MIDI devices and uses those MIDI messages to create four separate Expression outputs for use with external expression enabled devices.

MTET uses a 50k digital pot, wired for TRS connection with the tip active (connected to the wiper). It is assumed the external expression-enabled unit will apply to the sleeve and reference voltage to the ring. It is configured to communicate with other devices using this standard. Its primary purpose is to interface with Old Blood Noise Endeavors pedals and serve as a communicator between them and a MIDI controller. However, it will work with many other units that use the same expression setup as OBNE.

Notes: OXI designed One to be compact and slender. Implementing MIDI TRS ports has had a big role reducing its weight and volume substantially.

OXI Split comes as an efficient and inexpensive solution for users that want to control more equipment through DIN connections, providing one MIDI DIN Thru, one MIDI DIN Output and two MIDI TRS outputs, tripling the data transfer capacity and the number of MIDI channels up to 48. With OXI Split, users can chain more hardware instruments reliably.

Notes: There's no more need to upgrade your computer with a MIDI card. Get up to 32 discrete MIDI input channels in your computer just by plugging the MIDI Hub into your USB port. The MIDI Hub allows you to connect multiple MIDI devices to your computer, giving you 32 discrete input channels with 2 x MIDI inputs, and 2 x MIDI outputs give you 32 x discrete output channels. Best of all, this device is extremely portable and works with your desktop or laptop computer. USB bus powering means you don't have to carry around a bulky power adapter, although an AC/DC jack is available if you don't want to drain your laptop's battery (external power supply not included). When your computer is turned off, a switch gives you basic MIDI throughput.

The Phonic MIDI Hub works with most MIDI computer software, allows you create and play high-quality music. You can record MIDI events on your computer and transfer them back to your MIDI instrument, also change MIDI settings and program information with your computer. The MIDI Hub is like getting an upgrade for your computer with a whole lot more.

Notes: In 2009, the G2M was launched and it rocked the guitar world. For the first time, guitarists could access MIDI sounds with the same ease as a keyboard player.

Two years later, Sonuus updated the G2M to give it a substantial boost in performance (Version 2).

Now, 7 years since the original G2M was introduced, a new benchmark in accessible MIDI Guitar has been created: the Version 3 G2M. It includes several significant improvements, all whilst preserving the trademark plug-and-play usability of the original.

New in Version 3:
Latest state-of-the-art pitch-to-MIDI algorithms by Sonuus
Guitar, Bass, Voice and Wind (replaces the older Sonuus B2M and G2M)
20dB more headroom compared to the previous G2M and B2M
More convenient power: single AA battery instead of a PP3
Option to use a 9V DC power adapter: pedal-board integration
DIP switches inside battery compartment for configuration
MIDI-In feature: MIDI hold, sustain and volume (using special breakout cable)

The G2M is a simple-to-use, highly effective, guitar-to-MIDI converter. It is "Universal" because it doesn't need a special pick-up mounted on your guitar, but instead simply connects to your guitar like any other effects pedal or tuner.

Designed to give accurate triggering, with very low-latency, it is a true plug-and-play solution for monophonic MIDI guitar. It can be used to sequence bass lines and guitar solos add an edge to your live performances - it opens up many creative possibilities.

Universal Appeal

No modifications are required to your guitar; no special pickups to install; and nothing needs to be "stuck" onto your instrument. It works with all electric guitars.

The G2M universally appeals to all guitarists from novices to seasoned professionals. Keenly priced to fit any budget, with the robust reliable performance expected by the finest stagemen.

Incredibly simple to use:
1. Plug your guitar or bass or microphone into IN to power-up the G2M
2. Connect your MIDI device (or computer) to the MIDI OUT
3. Play notes on your guitar and MIDI will be sent out!

Powered from a single AA battery, its long battery life combined with small size makes the G2M the ideal accessory to keep with your guitar. Not only does it provide fast and precise tuning, but it also gives you instant MIDI capability for any electric guitar.

Robust performance

Research has shown that the most important aspect for pitch-to-MIDI conversion is reliable and reproducible triggering of notes. While low-latency is important, robust triggering is the key to usability - you can easily adapt to some latency, but you cannot adapt to random, spurious notes. The G2M gives you both!

By virtue of the unique, inherently robust technology used in the G2M™ you will be able to reliably generate accurate MIDI quickly and easily. Notes are generated exactly as played, and the nuances of your performance are captured with fast, accurate pitch-bend data.

Built-in tuner

The built-in tuner uses PULSAR tuning technology where the power LED doubles as a tuning indicator. This innovative tuner gives you a fast and accurate way to tune your guitar.

Instrument Thru

Featuring a high-impedance input circuit, the G2M won't sap your tone when using it "in-line" before your amp, or other effects pedals. You can then easily combine MIDI sounds with your normal guitar sound for some exciting musical possibilities.

Improves playing technique

For optimal MIDI conversion, your guitar playing needs to be clean and accurate. Accidental notes, resonating open strings and other sounds can often be converted into undesired MIDI notes. Often you don't hear these when playing guitar yourself, but can detect them easily when listening live to the generated MIDI.

Striving to improve MIDI note accuracy, encourages clean picking and accurate fingering, with good control over non-sounding strings by damping them.

Not only will your MIDI output be more accurate, your normal guitar playing will sound clearer and more professional. It's like having a tutor sitting beside you giving you advice.

Most of all, it's fun!

When you try the G2M and generate some new sounds, the first thing that strikes you is how much fun it is. Unleash new creative inspiration and invigorate your soul.

Notes: Continuing from the appeal of the G2M and B2M, the i2M Musicport combines the features of both these units (to support both guitar and bass) with an optimised USB interface for even faster MIDI performance. Featuring extended MIDI features and configurability to satisfy the most demanding users, and a high-impedance audio interface that won't suck the tone from your instrument, the i2M Musicport is the new way to connect your musical instruments to your computer.

Designed particularly for guitar and bass, it works with most musical instruments including wind instruments and the human voice. Now you can record great-sounding tracks and play synthesizers and samplers how you have always wanted to: by using your favourite instrument.

Plug and Play

Using class-compliant USB drivers built into your computer's operating system, and with no special instrument set up required, the i2M Musicport offers a true plug-and-play experience for all musicians.

Ultra-Fast Monophonic MIDI Conversion

Although latency is unavoidable when converting musical pitch into MIDI mes-sages, the unique technology used in the i2M Musicport reduces this to a minimum. Not only is the MIDI conversion extremely fast, but accurate and ro-bust. In fact, the pitch-bend detection of the i2M Musicport is more accurate than many popular guitar tuners!

Fine nuances of your playing are captured by the i2M Musicport: note velocity is determined from how hard you play; and subtle vibrato and bends are con-verted to ultra-accurate pitch-bend messages with virtually no latency. Every-thing from the emotional subtlety of a 'cello solo to the most extreme use of a guitar's whammy bar are tracked flawlessly.

The optimised USB MIDI interface further minimises latency by intelligently managing data packets and avoiding the inherent delays in the traditional MIDI hardware protocol.

Flexible MIDI Architecture

The MIDI converter architecture is very flexible and powerful comprising six zones (splits), each with configurable pitch bend, MIDI channel, transpose and other parameters.

Hi-Z USB Audio Interface

The i2M Musicport features a very high-impedance (Hi-Z) audio input circuit. This means it won't degrade the tone of your musical instruments, unlike typi-cal "line" inputs - often a problem with electric guitars and dynamic micro-phones. The input pre-amp also has adjustable gain to accommodate a wide variety of musical instruments.
High quality 16-bit, 44.1 kHz (CD quality), and 48 kHz (DVD quality) digital audio can be recorded into your favourite audio application, or used live, for example through amp-simulators with great-sounding results.

An ASIO driver (only supported on Windows operating systems) is available to provide low latency audio and features the unique ability to use any other au-dio device (even other ASIO devices) as the output audio device so you can hear everything you do in real time.

Future-Proof (Upgradeable Firmware)

To support new features and to make it futureproof, the firmware (internal software) of the i2M Musicport can be upgraded. This means you can invest with confidence in the i2M Musicport.

Pocket-Sized / Gigantic Possibilities

Fashioned as an in-line 1/4" jack-to-USB adapter, and about the size of a car key-fob, the i2M Musicport has an ultra-compact design that can easily fit into your pocket. But this tiny box will redefine your musical possibilities.

An invaluable composition tool, the i2M Musicport will let you access new sounds with ease, enable you to create tab and scores, provide you with new inspiration and let you have more fun than you thought possible.

Desktop Editor Software

The i2M Musicport features a very flexible and powerful MIDI converter archi-tecture with 6 zones enabling MIDI to be sent on up to 6 MIDI channels simul-taneously, with each zone being independently configurable. You can custom-ise each of the operating modes for your particular requirements and ex-change these settings with other i2M Musicport users.

Four presets can be stored on the i2M Musicport so you can switch between these without requiring the Desktop Editor Software. This software is available for Microsoft Windows, and OSX (10.5 and above).

Note: the i2M Musicport doesn't include its own MIDI sounds, you must use suitable software (sampler, synthesizer, sound module etc) or your computer to record or to hear the MIDI output.

Notes: The Sound Study Modular Midi 2 CV is a 4hp USB MIDI to CV and Gate converter. It has a bunch of different modes that it can operate on, like monophonic, duo monophonic, and many more!

Compatibility:
The Midi 2 CV is class-compliant but uses an unusual USB setting (1ms poll-rate in low-speed mode) not well supported on Windows.

Optimal latency is obtained with OS X >= 10.6.3 ; iOS ; or Linux >= 2.6.

On other systems, the Midi 2 CV will work but messages will be delayed by up to 8ms.

Conversion modes:
Monophonic with velocity
Monophonic with velocity and square oscillator
Dual monophonic
Duophonic
CC conversion
Monophonic with CC
Quad triggers
Quad gates
Monophonic CVCVpalpalwith MIDI clock output
Technical characteristics
Range and standards:

CV outputs: 0 to 4V, V/Oct (4 octaves).
Gate outputs: Positive V-trig, ON = 5V ; OFF = 0V.
Performance:

Resolution: < 2mV.
8 points calibration curve for non-linearity compensation.
Temperature dependency: +/- 2 cents within the 10- C to 80- C range.
Output impedance: 220O (rule of thumb: 2 cents drop per connection to a CV input).
Power supply:

USB-bus powered, current draw < 20mA.

Notes: The Triglostek is a self-powered DinSync24 to trigger converter, to sync an eurorack to a DinSync24 device. It needs no extra power supply.

Divide by /3, /6, /24, /48
