All my MIDI boards (with small exceptions) have a few outstanding features that are obvious and absolute
minimum requirements for any decent electronic equippment, but you can find them highlighted in some companies'
products descriptions, usually on top of the first page, so I thought I could point them here too
Those are in particular:
- extremely small size that gives you freedom of putting them anywhere. If you find smaller board
with same functionality, I might consider designing even smaller one just for you, for free.
- unbelievable small power consumption making possible to power all of them with small batteries
- some models have auto-power off feature, so you can use them with 1 set of batteries even for couple
of years, without worrying about switching power off
- all settings are available onboard, no need to setup anything with computer
- all settings are stored in non volatile memory, meaning they remain unchanged after removing power
- in most cases the same pinout is used for keys, making it very easy to connect, as 1 wire per
key is used.
- they are all made in most advanced SMT (Surface Mount) technology, and take advantage of
recent developments in microcontrollers
- printed circuit boards are high quality glass epoxy FR4 type, double sided with platted holes
and nice green soldermask
- MIDI cable to board is removable using very high quality, small connector, the same type in all my boards
- free MIDI DIN5 metal socket with 0.5m cable, terminated with high quality connector mating the boards.
This way you can easily mount the DIN5 socket on the panel without need to solder any wires.
- on special request continuous controllers can be anything that MIDI can send, not just a few basic
options like volume or pitchbend. It can be any CC, RPN, NRPN, sysex, and other messages that are
not likely to be used with potentiometer like program change, aftertouch, or even burst of notes.
- easy reconfiguration/growth by plugging expander modules
- for all interconnecs longer than 50cm provided are high quality shielded transmission cables minimizing EMI.
- boards are shipped in ESD protection bags
- every component of your order is carefully checked prior shipment
- free shipping to anywhere in the world
