8 Channel CV/T/G WiFi rtpMIDI / touchOSC with MIDI out and smart clock
At last! Wireless control of modular outputs from a computer, iPhone/tablet, or remote location via WiFi!
This has long been a dream of mine, to reduce MIDI cables and have portable control over anything T/G/CV controllable.
Using this module with an iPad, iPhone, or even a laptop is so much fun it should be illegal!
The 8 main outputs are unique in that the can become anything depending on which MIDI messages are sent to them. For example, if sequencing from a DAW, 8 "special" MIDI notes and their velocities can be used to control 16 individual modular elements if they are patched to "Y" to a trigger and a CV input, or just a fast change CV output resembling a sequencer.
If a MIDI control change is sent to any one of these jacks, the jack will be taken over by that instead. If some MIDI notes are sent on another MIDI channel, the associated jacks (in pairs black=trigger/white=CV) become 1V/Octave. All this can be done on the fly without changing any settings or menu diving. The MIDI messages determine what is output at any time, which provides great flexibility!
As most know, the MIDI CC resolution is only 128, so can be a bit steppy for modular use. So an intelligent smoothing mechanism has be put into place to reduce this. With touchOSC, the WiFiMIDI can achieve full resolution of CV output, which is already smooth, so is a non-issue. MIDI Pitch Wheel (higher resolution) is fully functional to send to any jack to become +/- 5V.
Still in the development stage, the SDS Digital WiFiMIDI module is holding great promise and should be available to everyone by April 2017
Up to 8 jack configurations (Easily set in web browser configurator) select-able using button including:
•8 Unique multi-function outputs that will simultaneously:
-act as a variable voltage trigger/gate using note velocity over 0V to 5V or -5 to +5V depending on which
MIDI notes
-act as a CV output 0V to 5V or -5V to +5V depending on the MIDI CC#
-combine in sets of 2 (CV+Gate) for 1V/Octave outputs from alternate MIDI Channels (user settable)
-Modular clocked (using clock out jack) 4 channel sequencer, steps CV's set via MIDI CC's
*Under development
• 8 CV outputs from MIDI notes or control changers / touchOSC controls
• 8 Variable voltage Gate/Trigger outputs
• Global MIDI output to forward other MIDI instruments on location, MIDI channels 1-16, or an extra trigger
output
• Clock Output or extra trigger/gate channel
• Chord modes
Features:
• Can join existing network or act as a server.
• Quantized output @1V/Oct on MIDI notes on up to 4 MIDI channels simultaneoulsy
• Very low latency (3 - 12 mS max) triggering / CV changes gives amazing/seamless DAW MIDI control/response
• LED's: Dimmable Jack output indication, Link status, connection status, MIDI output, Clock output
• Clock output that can be pseudo derived from notes playing on rtpMIDI in windows or direct/compensated on touchOSC for stability.
• More to come!
Stay tuned as demo videos are planned shortly
