1. MIDI 3 MANUAL PITTSBURGH MODULAR SYNTHESIZERS Extremely Full Featured MIDI to CV Converter includes a complete set of mono and duophonic midi response modes dedicated CC and velocity outputs multiple clock source options and robust arpeggiator This module is deep D uma lt MIDI CH Vat CLOCK D 12a THREE PERFORMANCE MODES Monophonic Mode works great when using a modular as a single voice synthesizer patch Channel 2 Gate and CV outputs mirror the outputs of Channel 1 Monophonic Mode has several keyboard responses to choose from last note priority low note priority and high note priority Each response is available with and without gate retriggering Duophonic Mode uses the two sets of Gate and CV outputs to allow two notes to be played simultaneously The first midi note is sent to Channel 1 Gate and CV outputs and the second is sent to Channel 2 Gate and CV outputs Duophonic Mode has three keyboard response modes to choose from Unused channel and new note priority unused channel and low note priority and split keyboard priority Duophonic mode is perfect when working with a two voice modular synthesizer patch Arpeggiator Mode includes multiple mono and duophonic responses to choose from Available responses are monophonic response as played double triggered monophonic response as played random monophonic response random monophonic with a random Channel 2 gate and random2. clock sources internal external midi and external gate The clock is used to clock the arpeggiator Internal clock and external midi clock output to the CLOCK jack The clock source is selected using the Edit Mode see EDIT MODE on the next page CLOCK a ay Mm Internal Clock The internal Midi 3 clock utilizes the TAP tempo button to modify the rate of the internal clock 2 or 3 taps are needed to determine the internal clock tempo External Midi Clock The external midi clock responds to midi start stop messages and midi tempo from an external midi clock source The external midi clock is used to clock the arpeggiator and is also output to the CLOCK jack In external midi clock mode the TAP tempo button cycles through five available clock divisions whole note 1 2 note 1 4 note 1 8 note 1 16 note External Gate Clock The external gate clock responds to gate signals patched into the CLOCK jack The external gate clock is used to clock the arpeggiator In external gate clock mode the TAP tempo button cycles through six available clock divisions 1 2 4 8 16 32 EDIT MODE Edit mode is used to modify the midi channel pitch bend range control change CC number and clock source parameters The parameters are printed below the red LEDs All changes made in Edit Mode are saved in memory and recalled when the Midi 3 module is powered on D MIDIS Enable Edit Mode by pressing and holding EDIT button down for 1

5. ONIC MODE Duophonic Mode outputs a pair of CV and gate signals based on two active midi notes Channel 1 CV and gate outputs work together with Channel 2 CV and gate outputs to provide a duophonic response The EDIT Button cycles between 3 different Duophonic Response Types The selected type is identified by a blinking DUO LED The number of times the LED blinks identifies the selected Duophonic Response Type The selected Duophonic Response Type is saved in memory and recalled when the Midi 3 module is powered on RESPONSE TYPES 1 Unused Channel and New Note Priority Unused Midi 3 output channel used first If multiple notes are active oldest note is replaced with new note 2 Unused Channel and Low Note Priority Unused Midi 3 output channel used first If multiple notes are active highest note is replaced with new note This mode works well when playing a bass and lead line 3 Split Keyboard CV 1 and Gate 1 respond to midi notes 0 to 23 CV 2 and Gate 2 respond to midi notes 24 to 127 Last note priority used when multiple notes are active CV 2 has up to 5 note memory when multiple keys are pressed at the same time ARPEGGIATOR MODE Arpeggiator Mode outputs a single CV and gate signal or 2 independent CV and gate signals based on the selected arpeggiator response type Up to 10 note recall when multiple keys are pressed at once The arpeggiator cycles through the selected notes Enabling the Hold function by pressing
