How to connect

Just connect the MIDI output of the controller to your synthesiser.
Additionally, you can connect other MIDI devices to the controller via the MIDI input or via USB. MIDI messages coming into the controller are forwarded to the synthesiser.
It is also possible to use the controller for other purposes, such as controlling VST plugins. In order to do that, just connect it to your computer via MIDI, or via USB-MIDI.

Sending the current state

You might want to send the current position of the sliders and buttons to your synthesiser to synchronise them. In order to do so, press the ‘SEND ALL’ button for about 2 seconds.

Configuration menu

By pressing the ‘CONF’ button, you enter the configuration menu. Here, you can adjust the MIDI channel and LED colors.

FAQ

Q: Given that the MC-202 uses DIN MIDI sockets, why did you design the controllers with TRS sockets and include adapters to DIN MIDI?
A: This was a hard decision – we prefer DIN MIDI ourselves. However, using DIN sockets would have meant a substantial increase in the case dimensions – both in width and height. We believe that the solution we have now is much more elegant and flexible. TRS-A to DIN adapters are included with the controller.
