5.1 overview
Convert digital midi data from a midi controller or daw into the analog voltages
needed to control the Lifeforms SV-1 synthesizer using the midi module. A full
featured monophonic midi to cv converter with arpeggiator, glide, tap tempo
clock, and digital lfo.

5.2 two performance modes
The midi module has two main modes, monophonic and arpeggiator.
Monophonic mode converts midi note on and note o
ff
messages into
monophonic 1 volt per octave cv and gate signals that can be used to control
oscillator pitch and trigger the adsr. The arpeggiator mode creates a repeating
sequence of 1 volt per octave cv and gate signals based on the incoming midi
notes.
The [mode button] switches between monophonic and arpeggiator modes.
The selected mode is identified with an illuminated led.
Monophonic Mode
works great when using the Lifeforms SV-1 as a single voice
monosynth. Monophonic Mode has several keyboard responses to choose
from: last note priority, low note priority, and high note priority. Each response is
available with and without gate retriggering.
Arpeggiator Mode
includes multiple responses to choose from. Available
responses are notes played in order, notes played in order with a double trigger,
random, and random with a random gate. The arpeggiator can be clocked using
tap tempo, midi clock, or external gate signal.
