Click Image for Large View 

Click here to see a large image
The Q104 MIDI Interface will accept a MIDI signal from a keyboard or other MIDI device and creates a control voltage for pitch, a control voltage for velocity, a gate signal, and a trigger signal. These signals can be used to control oscillators, filters, and to trigger envelope generators and sequencers.

Keyboards
If you need a complete keyboard system with the Q104 functionality, please see our QKB15S for details.
