The latest in our popular Pro Solo line of converters, the Pro Solo mk3 features a number of improvements over its predecessor; including 3 continuously variable auxiliary outputs, a built-in ADSR envelope generator, the ability to smooth out steppy MIDI CCs and more. The Pro Solo mk3 is the ideal converter for anyone looking to incorporate an analogue synthesizer, vintage or otherwise, into their MIDI setup. The CV output can operate at 1V/Oct, Hz/Volt or 1.2V/Oct. The scaling and tuning are adjustable, to accommodate any unruly synths. The Gate output can work at several different voltage levels, and can also be set to work a S-trig instead. The three continuously variable auxiliary outputs are presented on 3.5mm jack sockets; and can be configured to respond to MIDI CCs, velocity, aftertouch, clock and more. In addition to this, the MIDI OUT port can be switched to output Sync24, so your vintage Roland equipment can join in as well. Power: 9V DC (regulated or unregulated) – never apply more than 12V(never use an unregulated supply greater than 9V as unregulated supplies typically give a higher output than shown). 9V switch mode power supply included. Products bought directly from Kenton are supplied with the appropriate power supply for the delivery address.
