Greetings to all,
My name is Laurent Coray, I am the owner of Octet Design. We are introducing a new MIDI/organ product called UM1. The UM1 is an interface box with MIDI input and output on one side, and 128 input/outputs on the other side. It can be used as a console MIDI encoder (generates MIDI codes from key presses) or as a MIDI decoder-driver (activates solenoid outputs according to MIDI codes received).
The UM1's main features are:
128 input/outputs (each of two 64 I/O group is programmable as
input or output)
Outputs are TTL compatible, or open collector solenoid drive at
0.250A, 40volts
Output option -P provides solenoid drive at 0.500A, 40volts
Outputs are short protected and have built-in clamp diodes
4 PWM outputs for controllers
1 pulsing output for solenoid driven "vibrato"
Inputs are active low or high with built-in pull-ups/down, with
switch debounce
enclosure with mounting brackets
Fast MIDI interface allows up to 16 UM1 modules in series
Windows software utility for setup and diagnostics
Compatible with standard MIDI keyboards and sequencer software
UM1 universal MIDI interface, standard outputs $249
UM1-P universal MIDI interface, power outputs $279
