K1600 // MIDI Converter
Eurorack MIDI Converter - 12HP
The combination of MIDI and analog offers the modular synth
player incredible flexibility and control. Although analog
voltages are the preferred method for carrying many kinds of
signals, MIDI offers powerful integration with computers and a
wide variety of controllers, keyboards and other
equipment. The K1600 MIDI Converter provides 10 outputs in the
analog domain. Two pairs of CV and gate outputs provide high
resolution note control, four trigger outputs allow analog
drum modules to be used with MIDI drum machines, and the clock
and reset outputs enable MIDI control over analog clock-based
devices such as sequencers.
Polyphonic Control
If you are looking for a way to control two or more
oscillators via MIDI for playing big fat analog chords, the
K1600 can take you there. Its two CV/gate outputs can work in
split keyboard or duo-phonic mode. But if you install multiple
K1600s in your system, you can support 4, 6, 8 or more voices
of polyphony simply by daisy-chaining the modules
together. The intelligent voice-priority algorithm makes
multiple units behave as one. So stop thinking of modular
synthesis as monophonic... polyphony is closer than you think!
Expansion
The K1600 also acts as an expansion module for other
Kilpatrick Audio modular products which support the internal
MIDI header. This includes the K4815 Pattern Generator, which
contains a full MIDI implementation in addition to the
existing analog connections.
