Modular systems are supremely diverse, often bringing together a number of formats to create their rich and lurid tapestry of sounds. The Betweener is a utility based-device in a customizable and hackable format, mediating between messages, converting signals and providing a central brain for a complex musical system.
The Betweener expands your control capabilities, translating MIDI to control voltages, converting input triggers to MIDI notes and allowing for communication between modular systems and DAWs – amongst many other things! It utilizes a Teensy 3.2, which can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, and has four on-board CV (control voltage) inputs, four trigger inputs, four knobs, and four CV outputs which can be assigned to suit your setup. You can even convert MIDI-to-CV and CV-to-MIDI via USB MIDI or an add-on DIN MIDI breakout.
Being Teensy-powered, you’ll be able to control your modular with compatible external sensors (such as motion/light sensors) for extreme musical expression. The Betweener can be programmed to modulate any CV-controlled or MIDI-controlled instrument, which opens up so many doors to making new and interesting composition methods!
The Betweener is available from Voidpulse and ships from the USA – read up on the full Documentation here, and see the limitless capabilities it will bring!
