 <\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong>
\nMIDI is fed in at pin #2 and is brought out for you to use in new designs or to retro-fit a synthesiser using the Volts \/ Hertz system.<\/p>\n

Features:<\/p>\n

Volts \/ Hz<\/strong> high-resolution control voltage outputs.<\/p>\n

Two<\/strong> independent square-wave oscillators<\/strong> per chip.<\/p>\n

Two separate trigger outputs for envelope generators \/ gates.<\/p>\n

Volts \/ Hz<\/strong> high resolution control voltage outputs using \u201c8 + 8\u201d fast PWM which can be used to provide the correct <\/span>charging voltage<\/span> for an <\/span>integrator<\/span> circuit to produce <\/span>sawtooth<\/span> or <\/span>triangle<\/span> waves or used to <\/span>retro-fit<\/span> systems which use the <\/span>Volts \/ Hz<\/span> pitch system.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitch range<\/strong> of 8 octaves (MIDI keys C0 to C8) i.e. 32.5 Hz to 8.4 kHz<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitch accuracy<\/strong> of 0.0006% of one semitone at Middle C<\/span><\/p>\n

Pitch Bend<\/strong> (range can be set by user)<\/span><\/p>\n

Guaranteed<\/strong> pitch stability (quartz controlled)<\/span><\/p>\n

Pulse-Width<\/strong> control and Detune<\/strong> on every oscillator<\/span><\/p>\n

Polyphonic, Unison and Monophonic<\/strong> modes
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chainable<\/strong>: More MDCO-3s can be linked to produce more polyphony
\n\"Chaining_4_chips\"<\/a><\/span>(up to 12 mono voices, unlimited Poly \/ Unison voices *)<\/p>\n

Velocity and MIDI-Volume<\/strong> outputs available in Unison mode
\n(Mode 1)
\n\"mode_1_pinout\"<\/a><\/p>\n

9 auxilliary triggers<\/strong> per chip for general use
\n(drum machines etc.).
\nThese can be chained so that 2 chips give 18 triggers
\nto a max of 4 chips giving 36 triggers.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIDI Clock<\/strong> out in all modes<\/span><\/p>\n

Built-in<\/strong> Test Mode<\/span> to allow you to accurately calibrate conversion-precision<\/span> using just an audio amplifier.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

PANIC MODE!<\/strong> Sending Program Change 9 resets main parameters<\/span><\/p>\n

* Delay from chip to chip is less than 1 millisecond.<\/span><\/p>\n
