Module	Description	Controls & Ins/Outs
	MT16 MIDI to Trigger / Gate converter The MT16 is an advanced MIDI to triggering module. It allows triggering of a range of analogue devices; drum voice modules, envelope modules, analogue sequencers, analogue drum machines, and anything else with a gate, trigger or clock input. It has 16 separate outputs, so 16 devices can be independently triggered via separate MIDI keys. Each output can be re-mapped to any MIDI key, and any global MDI channel can be selected.	Inputs: MIDI In Outputs: 16 independent trigger outs MIDI Thru Power supply: +5V, GND using Integratoror, Doepfer A100 power sockets Controls: Learn button Indicators: 16x Actuiviry LEDs Size: 14HP

Use

Connect the MIDI sequencer or other MIDI device to the MIDI input of the MT16. Connect MT16 trigger outputs to device you wish to trigger.

Programming

• Programming the MT16 is a very simple proceedure.
• Press the LEARN button. The 1st LED will flash, and triggers will be sent out of output 1.
• The MT16 will now be in MIDI omni-on mode, so it will receive information on all MIDI channels.
• Press the MIDI key you wish output 1 to be assigned to. Output 1 will be assingned to that note number. The MT16 will set its MIDI receive channel (which will be the same for all outputs) to the MIDI channel the keyboard is transmitting on.

• Continue to program the following 15 outputs by pressing each key your wish to assign them to in turn.
• As each key is pressed, the next LED flashes and triggers are sent out of the respective output.
• After all 16 outputs are assigned the unit returns to normal mode.
• If you wish to skip programming any individual output, simply press the LEARN button to skip outputs.

Set-up information is stored in non-volatile memory. Information is retained when the power is switched of or module disconnected from power board. No battery back-up is required!

If the set-up is altered for any unpredictable reason (for example power disconnected during programming), the factory default program will be loaded at start-up. Factory default is MIDI channel 1, Output 1 set to C60, the next 15 outputs set to the next 15 keys.

To change the MIDI channel without affecting the note mapping, program only the first note, skipping the next 15.

Uses

Triggering Drum Voices

The most logical use for the MT16 is for easy programming of Concussor drum voice modules via a MIDI sequncer. Electronic percussion patterns can be quickly created using for example Cubase's grid editor or a rhythm sequencer such as the Akai MPC2000.

Gating Envelopes

The MT16 is infact a MIDI to Gate unit, therefore it retains sustain information. When you hold a MIDI key down, the trigger output will stay on (+5V) till the key is released. This makes the MT16 ideal for controlling envelopes.

Switchers and Fill In Modules (FS01)

As the MT16 retains note length information (see Gating above), it can be used to hold open and close switchers or the Concussor Fill-In module.

Devices with Clock Inputs - MT16 is more advantagous than using a MIDI-Sync device!

The MT16 offers a much more flexible way of synchronising analogue sequencers and drum machines than using a MIDI-Sync device. MIDI-Sync devices have the problem that they run continually when your MIDI sequencer is running. Therefore you cannot stop and re-start your analogue sequencers mid-song. Using the MT16 this problem can be overcome. By programming a bar of 16th notes and looping the bar, straight away you have created a clock signal that your analogue sequencers can lock on to. But there are several important advantages - you can have up to 16 clock signals, they can all be different divide ratios by changing the note pattern (so you could say have one sequencer running half the speed of the other). The string of notes does not have to be a steady pattern, it can be a syncopated rhythm, clocking you analogue sequencers in a particular changing pattern you decide.
