Dear Friends,
MIDI Boutque is happy to announce the release of our new product mkcv96fx http://www.midiboutique.com/mkcv96fx,
especially designed for scanning Fatar keyboards.
This is MIDI encoder, capable to scan any of currently known Fatar velocity keyboards of either DF (Common Cathode) or DR (Common Anode) scanmatrix.
In addition the board has:
- 32 parallel switch inputs that can be used for pedalboard (header is compatible to our csr32p contact system) or for up to 32 stops, pistons etc. switch controls;
- 2 analog inputs for potentiometers;
- MIDI Merge input, allowing chaining multiple units in single console.
The parameters regarding Fatar manual are user-configurable:
- Fatar scanmatrix type (DF or DR);
- Fatar keyboard size (25, 37, 44, 49, 61, 76 or 88);
- Fatar MIDI channel(1..16);
- Fatar starting note (0..127);
- Fatar velocity resolution/timing parameters (two parameters);
- Fatar velocity response curve (out of 5 standard and 4 custom curves);
- MIDI channel (1..16) for each of potentiometers;
- MIDI controller for each potentiometer (0..127);
- MIDI message per On/Off event for each of switch inputs. The message can be any 0-, 1- 2-, 3- or 4-byte MIDI sequence, allowing maximal flexibility, even assigning non-standard MIDI messages.
All above settings are done using simple Windows software, free downloadable from product page.
Each parameter is separately programmed, so that parameter values can be adjusted in realtime even on stage.
Since velocity response curve is pretty important for velocity keyboard, the unit supports 5 standard pre-defined read-only curves (Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, S-type and N-type). There are also 4 user-programmable curves that can be programmed by user. Curve Editor-Uploader software is in preparation right now and will be released in days.
