The SH2/9-M retrofit enables your Roland SH-2 or SH-09 synthesizer to be integrated into MIDI system. With its help, many circuits of the instrument can be controlled wia MIDI. Original features of Roland SH-2 or SH-09 instrument are not changed and it can be used the same way as before the interface installation.

Features:

• The instrument's keyboard is controlled by MIDI Note On/Off commands including Velocity (can be used for VCF and VCA).
• The keyboard can be transposed in whole range of MIDI notes 0~127.
• Next LFO for VCO modulation is added.
• The interface recognizes Chnl Aftertouch MIDI command (can be used for VCO, VCF and VCA).
• Possibility of direct control of VCF and VCA via MIDI CC.
• Instrument's BENDER can be controlled via Pitch Bend MIDI command.
• Possibility of full control via MIDI CC and System Exclusive communication (changes of presets, changes of paramers values and their storing ino memory etc.).
• Any receiving MIDI channel can be selected.
• Optical indication of interface's status defineable by user.
• 24+1 user's memory banks for setting of the interface parameters.
• The interface has MIDI output with "Thru" function too.

Global system parameters programmable by user (can be stored in internal memory):

• MIDI Channel (1 to 16)
• ENV Break Pulse Duration (1 to 30 ms)

Preset's parameters programmable by user (can be set via MIDI Control Changes, up to 24 settings can be stored in internal memory):

• VCO Pitch - Key Shift / Transpose (0 to +79 semitones)
• VCO Pitch - Aftertouch Bend (0 to +-4 semitones)
• VCO Mod - Wave (Square / Triangle / Saw-Fall / Saw-Rise)
• VCO Mod - Polarity (Center-1 / Center-2 / Up / Down)
• VCO Mod - Rate (0,1 to 10 Hz)
• VCO Mod - Modulation Wheel Amount (0 to +-4 semitones)
• VCO Mod - Aftertouch Amount (0 to +-4 semitones)
• VCO Mod - Retrig (Off / On / Legato)
• VCF Cutoff - Frequency (0 to 100%)
• VCF Cutoff - Keyfollow (0 to +-25%)
• VCF Cutoff - Velocity Amount (0 to 50%)
• VCF Cutoff - Aftertouch Amount (0 to 25%)
• VCA Level - Keyfollow (0 to +-25%)
• VCA Level - Velocity Amount (0 to 50%)
• VCA Level - Aftertouch Amount (0 to 25%)
• VCA Level - Volume Mode (Off / CC7 / CC11 / CC7+CC11)
• CONTROL - Bender Mode (MIDI / Instrument)
• CONTROL - Indicator Mode (Off / Gate / MIDI Msg / Mod Rate)

Interface recognizes standard MIDI commands:

• "Note On/Off" (inc Velocity)
• "Channel Aftertouch"
• "Program Change"
• "Pitch Wheel"
• "Control Changes" (Volume, Expression, Hold, Legato, ASO, RAC, ANO and others)
• "System Reset"
