Kenton GPIM16 GPI To MIDI Converter

Full Description

GPI To MIDI

The GPIM16 allows your GPI-equipped devices to be easily integrated into MIDI setups. The inputs are arranged with internal pullups, so that shorting that input to ground will send the appropriate MIDI note-on message, and releasing the short to ground will send a note-off message.

Features

• 16 input GPI to MIDI converter
• 16 GPI inputs (general purpose interface) arranged on two 9 pin D sockets
• Each block of 8 inputs can be assigned a starting MIDI note number and subsequent inputs follow on consecutive note numbers (default for first block 36 - 43, for second 44- 51)
• Each block of 8 inputs can be set whether note offs are sent when the switches open. NB off messages do not apply to program changes
• The MIDI transmit channel for all inputs can be set (range 1 to 16, default =1). The debounce value for all switch inputs can be set (range 1 to 100ms - default = 10ms)
• D socket inputs are arranged with pins 1 -8 as inputs (or 9 -16) and pin 9 as ground
• 2 MIDI out sockets that both carry identical MIDI information. MIDI arriving at the MIDI input is merged with the data generated by the switch inputs and sent to the MIDI outs
• Unit is supplied complete with a switch mode multi-region power supply with locking connector
• Editing of parameters is achieved by use of push buttons in conjunction with the LED display
• In order that settings cannot be accidentally changed, edit mode can only be enabled using a recessed push button
