Modular Solo

Kenton MODULAR SOLO

High specification Eurorack Modular MIDI to CV converter

The Modular Solo is supplied complete with ribbon cable ready to fit into any Eurorack (A100) format modular system.

• Power is supplied by the power supply in the modular case via the backplane 
• Power consumption +12V supply 85mA max / −12V supply 3mA
• +5v supply is not required (needs +/−12V only)
• CV & Gate signals can be sent via the ribbon cable to the system bus - selected using jumpers 
• MIDI In & Out on DIN sockets (MIDI Out can be switched to give DIN Sync 24 instead) 
• Analogue output CV on 3.5mm mono jack (V/oct or Hz/V or 1.2V/oct)
• Gate on 3.5mm mono jack (Gate or S-trig – with or without pullups)
• Aux1,2,3,4 on 3.5mm mono jack (all continuously variable) 
• 2x independent clock outs on 3.5mm mono jack 
• Weight 170g
• Dimensions 128mm high (3U) x 50mm wide (10HP) x 80mm deep
• D to A conversion for main CV 16 bit high quality / low drift DAC
• Non-volatile memory EEPROM (no back-up battery required)
• Processor 32 bit ARM processor

Features

• Designed to control all types of mono-synth
• Super-fast response time
• Famous Kenton build quality
• High specification 16 bit D/A converter for main CV for rock-steady pitches
• CV/Gate/Aux/Clock outputs on 3.5mm mono jack sockets (3.5mm to 1/4" cables are available in our cables section)
• CV & Gate signals can be sent via the ribbon cable to the system bus - selected using jumpers
• MIDI IN socket (5 pin DIN)
• MIDI OUT/THRU (5 pin DIN) socket can be switched to become DIN Sync 24 instead
• Any MIDI channel can be selected
• Switchable for V/oct & Hz/V & 1.2V/oct scaling systems
• Fine tune & scale are software controllable
• Transpose (coarse tune) - up & down 12 semitones
• Adjustable pitchbend range - up to 12 semitones
• Programmable Gate V-trig (up to 10V) or S-trig (with or without pull-up)
• Multiple and single trigger modes
• Note priority selection - newest / lowest / highest
• Old notes are remembered to facilitate trill effects and increase playability
• Portamento - fixed rate or fixed time modes
• Auto Portamento mode selectable (where legato playing turns on Portamento)
• Portamento Controller is selectable (default 65)
• Programmable AUX 1,2,3,4 variable analogue output controllable by any MIDI controller
• 2x fully independent clock outputs 5V or 10V selectable
• Programmable LFO - 9 wave shapes including random
• LFO can modulate pitch &/or AUX output
• Separate Controllers for LFO to CV and LFO to AUX
• LFO can be synchronised to MIDI clock
• LFO sync point can be selected
• 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
