If the selected Midi event 2-1 (see page 11) generates continuous Midi data the
corresponding CV output even generates a continuous control voltage. This
applies to the following Midi events
2-1 e Pitch bend
2-1 f Control change
2-1 g After touch
2-1 h Program change
In these four modes no gate signal is generated.
To obtain a continuous or quantized control voltage and a gate signal one of
these Midi events has to be selected:
2-1 b Note
2-1 c Note & pitch bend relative
2-1 d Note & pitch bend absolute
If 2-1 b Note is selected CV1 outputs a quantized control voltage with the
quantization table that is selected with 4-1 Quantization (see page 15). The voltage
that appears at CV1 corresponds to the Midi note messages generated by R2M.
CV1 follows the 1V/octave standard, i.e. the voltage difference is 1/12 V (0.0833V)
for each semitone. In this mode even the transpose function via incoming Midi note
messages and arpeggio have effect on CV1.
If 2-1 c Note & Pitch bend relative or 2-1 d Note & Pitch bend absolute is chosen
CV1 is not quantized (same as 2-1 e ...h) but a gate signal is generated according to
the selected mode. In these modes the transpose function via incoming Midi note
messages and arpeggio have no effect on CV1.
For all three note event types (2-1 b/c/d) each Midi note on message corresponds to
a low
→ → → →high gate transition and each Midi note off message to a high→ → → →low gate
transition.
In addition the pressure sensor of the manual can be used to control the second
control voltage output CV2. As the pressure sensor is not as accurate as the position
sensor (see page 13 for details) only very simple control tasks can be realised with
the pressure sensor resp. CV2 (e.g. modulation depth or frequency, loudness, filter
frequency, filter resonance, phasing, pitch of a synced VCO). Special features like
quantization or a separate gate output are not available. The pressure voltage is
simply output on the CV2 socket without any processing in the R2M.
