2.2.4 Converting Data Types
It is possible to use QuNexus to convert data from MIDI to CV and vice versa. This can be
accomplished in multiple ways:
With a Computer
:
The image on the right shows the QuNexus
connected to a computer, a CV device, and a
MIDI device via the KMI MIDI Expander. By
default, the QuNexus will automatically send
data to all three.
To get the computer to communicate with the
MIDI Device use QuNexus’ virtual MIDI Port 2.
For communication between the computer and
the CV device use QuNexus’ virtual MIDI Port
3.
Without a Computer
:
Tip
: Anything that can be done without a Computer can be done with a computer as well.
For communication from MIDI to CV (whether originating from the MIDI Device or USB), the CV
outputs by default are set up to convert data from specific MIDI messages coming from the
Keyboard, USB Port 3, and the MIDI Expander. Below is a list of what will output through each
of the 4 CV outputs. All 4 Factory Presets are set up to convert MIDI to CV the same way.
Presets A, B, and C listen to Channel 2. Preset D listens to Channel 9.
Gate
- Note Ons and Offs.
CV1
- Pitch data from Notes.
CV2
- Anything from CC#1. Nothing will
output if the preset does not utilize CC#1 on
the corresponding Channel.
CV3
- Pitch Bend data. Nothing will output if
the preset does not utilize Pitch Bend on the
corresponding Channel.
Changing the MIDI messages that are translated to CV can be accomplished by using the
QuNexus Editor to adjust the settings in
CV Layer
.
For information about how to separate the CV outputs read the
CV Chapter
above.
