OVERVIEW
Intellijel’s MIDI 1U system comprises several elements, which work together to provide flexible,
programmable MIDI-to-CV conversion to your Eurorack modules: The system comprises two
mandatory components, and one optional component:
●
MIDI 1U module
- This 14HP module receives MIDI from an attached, external MIDI input
connector (7U or Palette case, or MIDI IN Jacks 1U module), and works in one of two modes:
SINGLE Mode The module controls a single synth, listening to a single user-selectable MIDI
Channel. It extracts (by default) PITCH, VELOCITY, MOD, CC, GATE, TRIG,
CLOCK and RESET (or RUN) messages — sending the proportional voltages
to individually labelled 3.5mm jacks for patching.
CC and MOD jacks can be assigned to any MIDI CC input (either low- or
high-res) and, if desired, configured to respond instead to Channel Aftertouch.
Numerous other settings (such as pitch bend range, trigger length, coarse
tuning, note priority, etc) can also be set.
DUAL Mode
This mode maintains the Clock & Reset/Run functionality of SINGLE mode, but
uses the other six jacks to transmit Pitch, Velocity and Gate messages to two
different synthesizers — each responding to its own incoming MIDI channel.
In this configuration, the PITCH, VEL and GATE jacks output the indicated data
on the MIDI Channel assigned to synth 1; while the MOD, CC and TRIG jacks
are repurposed as Pitch, Velocity and Gate outputs for the MIDI Channel
assigned to synth 2.
●
MIDI input connector
- The MIDI 1U module does not have its own MIDI input jack. This
enables you to use the MIDI/USB inputs built-in to your Intellijel
7U Performance Case
or
Palette Case
. If you don’t own one of these cases, you can purchase the
MIDI IN Jacks 1U
module to allow connection of an external MIDI device.
●
CVx 1U module
(OPTIONAL) - This optional 14HP 1U module connects to the MIDI 1U module
and adds an additional eight 3.5mm CV outputs. These outputs are fully programmable using
the
Intellijel Config
app, providing your Eurorack system with 8 additional synths (and MIDI
channels) while greatly expanding your control options — including polyphonic MIDI control,
drum module connection and extensive multi-channel CC/CV conversion and routing. You can
chain up to four CVx modules to a single MIDI 1U, giving you an additional 32 fully assignable
output jacks — each assignable to any of 10 synths (on up to 10 MIDI channels).
The MIDI 1U system provides all the essentials to control and sync your Eurorack modular from
your computer, mobile, or hardware MIDI device with a minimum of fuss. Several of the MIDI 1U
module’s most important features can be changed using its two front panel buttons, with full
configuration capabilities offered via the
Intellijel Config
app, which is available for both Mac and
Windows. The connectivity, feature set, expandability, and compact size make the MIDI 1U system
ideal for integrating your modular gear with the rest of your rig.
