VCMC is a Voltage Controlled MIDI Controller, a fully mapable MIDI device with eight Faders and Buttons. ach

of those controls has a CV and a Gate Input associated either to automate their functioning or to be

configured independently for further control.

very setting on VCMC can be edited through its OL D screen and will be output either via DIN5 or USB as

Class Compilant MIDI Device.

There are two main MIDI connections in VCMC: USB and DIN5. Both connections send every MIDI

message generated by the module, choosing each one depending on the device you will be

controlling. Let's take a deeper look:

USB

The USB port is the most convenient way to connect VCMC to a

computer. Just plug a USB Type B cable from VCMC to a free USB port of

your computer and the module should be automatically recognized as a

MIDI Device. You will be able to select it on the MIDI connections of your

DAW or any other software that supports MIDI.

If you have USB Host devices, you can use this port with it in the same

way we did with the computer.

DI N 5

Most of the external gear out there uses DIN5 connections for MIDI

control. If you want to control your external gear with VCMC, just plug a

standard MIDI DIN cable from VCMC´s DIN5 Out port to your device´s

MIDI Input.

In VCMC, you have a variety of

different controls and connections

capable of sending MIDI to your

external gear. To make it as clear and

friendly as possible, the module is

divided in eight functional blocks.

A block is conformed by a set of

controls that can be configured to

send different MIDI messages.

Basically, each block contains a CV

Input, a Fader and a Gate Input with

a linked Push Button.

The activity of each block is displayed

on the Performance Screen.

The Performance Screen is the

main level of the VCMC menu

structure. Here you can

navigate trough the different

blocks, rotating the encoder, to

check their activity.

On the left of the screen, you

will see the values sent by the

CV Input and Fader of the

current block and, if both are

linked, the value of the link.

On the right part, you have

overall real time information

about the values sent by every

VCMC block.

Performance Screen

VCMC Block

Besides its eight functional blocks, VCMC includes two Auxiliar

inputs. The behaviour of those inputs is exactly the same as the

block CV inputs and their activity is displayed on the Performance

Screen as well.

Click the encoder on a selected block to configure it.

In this menu you can navigate through the different controls of the selected block. Access them

by clicking the encoder button. For each control you will be able to map MIDI Messages, MIDI

Channel and input and output ranges.

As pictured, the available controls to configure are as follow:

Buttons can be mapped to send a MIDI message when pressed. This message can be either a Note

or a value of certain CC. They can be configured as Gate, where value will be present while

pressed, or latch where the value will remain on when pressed and turn off when pressed again.

Other messages that can be mapped are clock or ST/SP.

Gates are associated to Buttons by hardware, so a gate present here will be added to the value of

the button and viceversa. The L D will show us any activity.

FAD RS

Faders will be sending a midi message with value proportional to the fader position.

It can be set up as an independent, or associated to the CV input to be added, or as an

attenuator.

CV

ach CV input will be sending a MIDI message with value proportional to the voltage received.

It can be set up as independent or associated to the fader to be added or attenuated, or to the

Gate for the V/Oct to MIDI note mode.

AU X

These are two auxiliar inputs. They can be mappedr to MIDI messages, similar to inputs,

but they

do not accept negative voltages.

On the left column of the

Configuration Screen you

have the information

section. It displays the

MIDI Messages assigned to

each control.

ach VCMC control has its own configuration menu where you

can configure its behaviour. Let's start with the CV Inputs.

From the Performance Screen, select a block and press the

encoder to enter into the main Configuration Screen. Go to CV

and press the encoder again to enter into the CV dit Menu.

On the left of the screen there is information about the selected

MIDI channel and the current Function of the CV Input.

At the right you have the following options:

FU N CTI ON

Selects the MIDI message that will be mapped to this input. By pressing on it you will have access

to the MIDI Mapping screen.

1.

V/Oct t N te

In this mode Gate and CV will be linked so we can convert CV + Gate messages to MIDI notes. When Gate goes

high, a NOT ON message will be sent with value proportional to the CV input. When Gate goes down a Note

OFF message will be sent. Keep in mind that, in order to keep V/Oct range, only 120 MIDI notes will be sent

for the whole range. 1 Octave=12 semitones, so 10 Octaves 120 notes.

2.

N tes

On this mode the module will generate MIDI notes at the selected MIDI Channel following the V/Oct ratio

regardless of the presence of Gate or not. The Gate lenght is fixed.

3.

CC

This will send CC messages. When selected you will be prompted to choose which CC number will be sent.

4.

Vel city

CV will be mapped to velocity message representing the notes selected in the MIDI

channel.

5.

Pitch Bend

CV will be mapped to pitch bend message.

6.

Pr gram Change

A program change message will be sent proportional to CV value.

TIP: Program change will change the program in the current bank selected in your Machine. Map CC#0 or

CC#32 in another input to do a bank select and double the fun!!

7.

NRPN

In this mode the CV will be converted to NRPN messages. Upon selection of this mode you will be prompted to

select a NRPN number. Keep in mind there are two NRPN modes available: 7 bit and 14 bit.

CV D LAY

Set a delay on the CV reading. Specially useful on V/Oct mode. As some sequencers have some

delay between setting the gate high and sending the CV, with this feature you will avoid sending

old messages.

R AN G S

On this screen we will be able to set the functional ranges of the CV Input and the MIDI Output.

Here you will be able to calibrate the CV Input as well. Let's take a look:

1.

In Range

+10:

The CV Input will expect a voltage range of 0-10V, translating each voltage in concrete MIDI value.

A voltage of 1 0V will be translated as the maximum MIDI message value (see OUT Range below)

+5:

The CV Input will expect a voltage range of 0-5V, translating each voltage in concrete MIDI value.

A voltage of 5V will be translated as the maximum MIDI message value (see OUT Range below)

-5/+5:

The CV Input will process negative voltages as well. In this mode a voltage of 5V will be

translated as a MIDI value of 64 and -5V to -64, Negative values will be clipped to 0, so linking the fader

as SUM (see CV/FDR Link) is adviced for effectivity.

2.

Out Range

MIDI ANGE:

Select from what MIDI value to which one your CV will

be scaled. This feature will select the minimum and maximum MIDI

values and will scale the input to that range.

MIDI T IM:

With these you can set MIDI limits, so no messages will

be sent beyond the minimum and maximum set here. This feature

clips the range, do not scale.

3.

Calibrati n

This will perform a two points callibration. You will be

prompted to send 1 v and 4v, stating to which MIDI Note they

relate to. A voltmeter is shown to monitor incoming voltage.

This calibration is useful when your CV source has some

offset, so you can avoid note shifting on conversion. Also, if

source CV does not have perfect V/Oct linearity, this will

correct the scaling.

Set the values of each range by turning and pressing the encoder. If you don't want to keep the

changes and go back to the previous screen, press Cancel, otherwise press nd.

CALIB ATION P OCEDU E:

Before selecting calibration, be sure you have V/Oct to Note mode selected on

the CV Input you want to calibrate, otherwise you will get an error message prompting to activate it.

Once done, plug the CV signal from your sequencer or CV source, set it to send 1V (go to the manual of your

CV source if you don't know the equivalent Note/Volts) and check the voltmeter at the bottom of the screen. If

all is well it should show you C0/1V, then turn the encoder till you have the first line (1V 24 C0) selected and

press the encoder. Repeat the process for 4V and press nd to finish the calibration. If you don't want to keep

the changes, press Cancel.
