PRO SOLO
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations
on your purchase. The PRO SOLO is much more than just a MIDI
to CV converter, incorporating a built in LFO as well as portamento functions. Please
take some time out to read through all the manual to avoid any operational
difficulties.
CONNECTIONS
MIDI In
Plug your MIDI keyboard or sequencer`s MIDI Out into here.
MIDI Thru
Plug this into the MIDI In of another piece of your MIDI equipment should it be necessary.
CV
Plug this into your mono-synth`s input marked CV In, VCO In, KEY VOLT KYBD In, etc. This
controls the pitch of your synth.
GATE
Plug this into your mono-synth`s input marked GATE, V-trig, Trig, S-Trig, etc. This turns the
note on and off on your synth.
AUX
Plug this into your mono-synth`s input marked VCF, fcM, PWM, VCA, Filter, Volume, or any
other external control voltage input. This enables you to control effects such as filter cut-
off from MIDI controllers (Velocity, mod wheel, etc.).
Note; not all mono-synths have additional control inputs.
9-15V DC
Plug your power adapter into here. The converter will take an adapter with a range of 9-
15V. The voltage supplied determines the maximum gate voltage that can be obtained.
We recommend the Kenton power supply which is made especially for the PRO-SOLO but
any plug-top supply can be used as long as the output is regulated and is in the range of
9-15 volts.
WARNING - Do not use an adaptor with an output voltage higher than 15V, and the SOLO must not share an adaptor
with any other device. Failure to observe this will invalidate your warranty, and will probably damage the other device,
the PRO-SOLO and/or the power supply.
