MIDI-CV/SYNC Interface A-190
1. Introduction
A
The A-190 is a MIDI-CV/SYNC Interface, with which
you can control any A-100 Module which has CV and
gate/trigger input sockets by MIDI.
The A-190 has two Digital-to-Analogue converters
(DAC for short), which put out control voltages from 0
V to +5 V, so that you can control not just the pitch, but
also another voltage-controllable parameter on the
A-100.
DAC 1
and convert them into control voltages available at CV
output socket CV 1. The DAC has 12-bit resolution,
which gives excellent tuning resolution (in steps of
1/4096th). As a rule, DAC 1 will be used to control
VCO pitch
DAC 2 can be assigned to your choice of MIDI controller
Its output is available at CV 2, and can be used for
voltage control of any suitable module (eg VCF, VCA,
etc.).
To install the A-190 please look at the
important information on p. 4!
is ‘hard-wired’ to receive MIDI
.
. This DAC has 7-bit resolution (1/128th steps).
note messages
The A-190 also has a clock output, controlled by MIDI
clock. This can be divided down to provide a variety of
clock outputs, and enable older sequencers or drum
machines to be synced to MIDI.
A Reset Output provides control of the A-160 / 161
Clock Divider / Sequencer or can produce MIDIsynchronised gates (for instance on an ADSR). MIDI
START or CONTINUE messages make the voltage at
the Reset output go low, and MIDI STOP messages
make it go high.
In addition, the A-190 allows for portamento (glide)
and pitch-bend, and provides a software LFO. These
functions can all be switched on and off or altered by
MIDI controllers.
All control parameters can be saved in non-volatile
memory
.
H The A-190 needs an additional power supply
(+5 V / 50 mA) for connection to the system
bus.

3. Starting to use the A-190

The A-190 is normally connected up to the INT.CV und
INT.GATE on the system bus.
If you want to run
single system bus, then only one of the A-190s must be
connected to the system bus.

4.1 Using the A-190
On power up, the A-190 defaults to Performance
. This is the normal mode of operation, in which
mode
the incoming MIDI information is converted to CV, gate
and clock signals, according to the A-190’s settings.
You can check you’re in performance mode by seeing
if all the
reset LED 6 and clock LED 5 will light up in response
to MIDI activity:
menu LEDs
Performance-Mode
Since the A-190 gives you so many options for changing the way MIDI information is converted, it was
necessary to use a menu system for setting the various parameters. There are two groups of menus,
with six menus in each.
The performance menus are where you can change
important playing parameters such as bend width

and portamento time - the sort of parameters to which
you need easy and frequent access .
The Config menus, on the other hand, contain confi-
guration parameters
tant to the whole MIDI set-up, but as a rule don’t need
to be changed often (for instance gate polarity, voltage
response, or re-trigger time).
To alter parameters, you need to be in edit mode. The
procedure is as follows:
• Select the menu group

• Select the menu which contains what you want to

4.4 Storing set-ups
The A-190 is equipped with a non-volatile memory
(EEPROM - electrically eraseable programmable readonly memory!) which will store your set-up ready for
when you switch the system back on.
If you just change the settings of various parameters,
the A-100 only stores these changes
they’ll be lost when you switch the A-100 off. To store
any changes in the set-up, you have to save the
set-up, by simultaneously pressing both the
DEC- buttons. The A-190 signals that the save
procedure has been successful in the following way
:
• All LEDs light up while you press the buttons.
All LEDs blink slowly for around three seconds.
•
All LEDs blink quickly for around three seconds.
•
• The save procedure is then completed, and all the
LEDs go out
on, the set-up will be recalled.
It’s possible to abort the save procedure, by pressing
any button while the LEDs are still blinking. In this
case, all parameters revert to how they were before
the save procedure started.

H It’s a much better idea to carry out the save
procedure in PERFORMANCE mode
(indicated by all menu LEDs 8 being off).
If you carry out this procedure in EDIT mode
(shown by one of the menu LEDs blinking)
there’s always the danger of the active parameter being increased or decreased by one
step the instant before it’s saved, because of
the physical difficulty of pressing the INC and
DEC buttons at precisely the same time.
It’s always possible to alter the default set-up with
which the A-190 leaves the factory (see chapter 4.6,
Initialisation).
