MONO

Complete monophonic mode with regular CV/
Gate, Velocity, Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheel 
outputs. Perfect for basslines, leads and 
monophonic patches in general played with 
keyboard.

DUAL

Two channels CV/Gate monophonic mode with 
extra Velocity output per channel. Good to make 
monophonic patches with suboscilators. In this 
mode Gate outputs 3 and 4 are unused. 

QUAD

This is Midi Thing's default mode, a four channel 
CV/Gate mono mode. Perfect for sequencing 
multiple oscillators.  

PERCTRIG

This mode provides eight trigger outputs mapped 
to drum midi notes. Useful for  percussion sets. 
This mode works only with MIDI channel 10. 

DUOPHONIC MODES 

Duophonic CV/Gate modes with priority to First, 
Last, Higher and Lowest note. Each channel has 
its own Velocity output (CV ouputs 3-4). In these 
modes Gate outputs 3 and 4 are unused. 

POLYPHONIC MODES

Polyphonic CV/Gate modes with priority to First, 
Last, Higher and Lowest note. Up to four notes. 
Perfect for chords!

NOTE PRIORITY 

We need a way to tell the synth which 

notes will prevail  when we add a new 

note once the polyphony is already 

complete: Two notes in DUO and four 

notes in POLY modes. 

If priority set to FIRST note, Midi 

Thing prioritize the first notes 

pressed, so new notes will never 

sound. 

For the case that the LAST note has 

priority, the effect will be the 

opposite: Midi Thing will output the 

new note, removing the first note 

which was pressed.

The procedure is the same for HIGH 

and LOW priority modes but 

depending if a note is higher or lower
