Kenton Pro-SOLO MkII - Manual (Page 6)

6
14 Scale (default: 0)
Range
-127 to +127
- This is used to tune in the octave scaling of your analogue synth. Will only need adjusting if
your synth sounds out of tune as you play further up the keyboard (see `Tuning in Your
Analogue Synth`). - Check whether CV select has been set correctly (see `15` below).
nb: C (MIDI note#36) will not move (assuming transpose is not in operation) so get that in tune
first then tune the octave above using this parameter.
15
CV – Hz/V – 1.2V/oct select (default: CV)
- this shoud be set to V/oct [CV] for connecting to most synths, such as Roland, SCI, Octave,
Oberheim or Moog synths. Set it to Hz/V [Hz] if you are using either Yamaha or Korg mono-
synths (except the Monopoly which is volt per octave). A very small number of synths use 1.2
volts per octave [12] (one tenth of a volt per semitone) – in which case select this option.
16 Gate type select (default: G-)
- you can select the following types for the GATE output;
Gate V-Trig low (+5v)
[g, middle LED bar]
Gate V-Trig high (+15v) [g, upper LED bar]
Gate is the most common signal used for telling a synth when to play its note. The high level
Gate is suitable for most synths, such as Roland, SCI, ARP, Oberheim. The low level gate may
be needed for synths that require a lower gate voltage such as the SH-101.
S-trig no pull-up [S, lower LED bar]
This would be used for most Moogs & Korgs, and some Yamaha synths instead of Gate.
S-trig low pull-up
[S, middle LED bar]
S-trig high pull-up [S, upper LED bar]
These would be used on some of the Yamaha CS range of synths instead of Gate.
NB – The Pro-SOLO mkII has an internal charge pump and so can generate gate voltages up
to +15 volts even though the power adaptor is only 9 volts!
20 AUX 1 controller number (default: 16)
- Sets which MIDI controller will control the auxiliary output. The following can be selected:
Clock
[CL]
Trig Pulse [tr]
Off [Of]
Pitch bend [Pb]
Velocity [VL]
Aftertouch
[Af]
MIDI controllers 0-120
If trig pulse is selected, the aux output will send a short trigger pulse whenever a valid new
MIDI note is received – this can be used to drive the envelope generator on synths that
require a separate trigger for this. (Only usually needed by the Arp 2600 and a few modulars)
If clock is selected, the clock divide ratio (para #41) controls the relationship with MIDI clock.
Set Aux min value to 0 and max to 50, or to produce an inverted output set min value to 50
and max to 0
