MODEL 225e
MIDI DECODER

NEWS FLASH

The 225e has an additional capability - that of displaying the current firmware version for any e series module in a system. Compare your firmware to the latest version at the link below and send us cards for whatever modules you’d like updated.

The 225e MIDI Decoder translates incoming MIDI messages into analogue voltages and pulses.
These signals appear on three kinds of “busses”
for subsequent distribution to 200e series modules.

Internal busses route signals internally to 200e series modules that respond directly to MIDI messages. There are four internal busses; each conveys messages appropriate to the destination module.

Note message busses handle only note messages, decoding them into front panel voltages that represent pitches, velocities and pulses with sustain information. There are four note message busses.

Controller busses process only controller messages (two controllers for each of six busses), translating them into standard (10 volt range) control voltages.

Any number of busses can be assigned to a single MIDI channel. Note messages so assigned can be directed to respond polyphonically.

The 225e can be added to any 200 system, extending the performance resources to encompass a variety of MIDI controllers (including, of course, Thunder, Lightning, Marimba Lumina, and the Moog Piano Bar).

Attached to, but independent of the MIDI/USB interface is a facility dedicated to implementing and managing presets. Functioning only with 200e series modules, this Preset Manager can store, name, and retrieve the settings and routings of nearly all system variables.
