Kenton Modular Solo MIDI-CV/ Gate Interface (Module)

Description

The Modular Solo is the perfect MIDI to CV converter for Eurorack modular users. Featuring the rock-solid tuning stability that Kenton converters are famous for, the Modular Solo also includes four continuously variable auxiliary outputs for controlling other aspects of your modular system; as well as two dedicated clock outputs (which can be set to different division ratios) for keeping everything synched up to MIDI clock.

The CV output can operate at the usual 1V/Oct, or as Hz/Volt or 1.2V/Oct. The scaling and tuning are adjustable, to accommodate any unruly modules you might have. The Gate output can work at several different voltage levels, and can also be set to work a S-trig instead. In addition to this, the MIDI OUT port can be switched to output Sync24, so your vintage Roland equipment can join in as well.

It is 10HP wide, 80mm deep, and includes a 20cm ribbon cable to connect to standard Doepfer-style power supplies.

Features

Designed to control all types of mono-synth

Key-on can reset LFO
Clock outputs can independently select from 1 to 12, 24, or 48 clocks per quarter note
Set-up are stored in non-volatile memory for easy recall
MIDI monitor mode – for easy MIDI troubleshooting
MIDI OUT/THRU socket can be switched to become DIN Sync 24
Portamento – new fixed time mode as well as existing fixed rate
Auto Portamento mode selectable (where legato playing turns on Portamento)
LFO sync point can be selected
LFO to CV controller now has Min, Max and Reset values
LFO to Aux controller now has Min, Max and Reset values
Key-on can reset LFO
All parameters are controllable in real-time by SysEx
Din sync and clock can be used at the same time as CV and Gate outputs
