Rather than simple pass-through, Metaconformer actively transforms MIDI data, opening up ways of playing that a standard point-to-point connection can't offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne Controller, Several Instruments Playing at Once\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem with trying to play several monophonic instruments simultaneously is the lack of any built-in voice-assignment mechanism — you'd otherwise have to manually switch MIDI channels or play each instrument separately. Metaconformer's Splitter mode divides one MIDI channel's keyboard into several zones, each routing notes to a different instrument, letting you play multiple synths at once and hear their timbres interact live without channel switching. Combiner mode reverses that logic, merging several monophonic instruments into a single multitimbral polyphonic instrument, using the same voice-assignment approach found in classic polysynths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTurning Notes Into Control Messages Without a Computer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControlling parameters across multiple MIDI devices simultaneously usually calls for a separate CC controller or DAW software configuration, complicating a computer-free live setup. Metaconformer's Translator mode converts incoming MIDI notes into CC values, assigning each cell to its own channel and controller number, letting instrument parameters be controlled directly from a keyboard. The entire configuration happens on the device itself, with no computer required, and one of the four TRS outputs can also serve as a sync signal source or clock divider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 independent MIDI inputs and 4 MIDI outputs on 3.5mm TRS connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach port switchable between MIDI TRS Type A and Type B standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFourth output optionally functions as a sync signal source or clock divider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplitter mode: splits one channel's keyboard into zones controlling different instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombiner mode: merges several monophonic instruments into one multitimbral polysynth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranslator mode: converts MIDI notes into CC values assigned to separate channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-device configuration, no computer required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative SimplexFM firmware turning the unit into a 4-track FM synth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact enclosure, powered via micro-USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: MIDI router and thru box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI inputs: 2, 3.5mm TRS connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI outputs: 4, 3.5mm TRS connectors (one optionally sync\/clock divider)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRS standard: switchable Type A \/ Type B per port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating modes: Splitter, Combiner, Translator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternative firmware: SimplexFM (4-voice FM synth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: micro-USB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: under 15cm (width) x 5cm (height) x 2.5cm (depth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SOMA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54344005353809,"sku":"55478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/SomaMetaconformer1.jpg?v=1784735372","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/soma-metaconformer","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
