SnyderPhonics - MantaMate

The MantaMate is a Eurorack analog synthesizer module that allows the Manta and other controllers to communicate with an analog synthesizer. It turns the Manta into a powerful sequencer and keyboard for your synth. It also acts as a general-purpose USB-MIDI to CV converter, acting as an embedded host for USB-MIDI devices and acting as a device for a host computer, so you can control the CV outputs from your DAW. Additionally, the MantaMate makes it possible to connect inexpensive HID game controllers such as flight-simulator joysticks to your modular synthesizer. 

Features: 

* acts as a USB host for the Manta, allowing the Manta to act as a powerful sequencer or keyboard for a modular synthesizer 

* 12 CV outputs (4 high resolution 16-bit and 8 medium resolution 12-bit) 

* 1 gate/trigger input to clock sequencer and arpeggitor from modular synthesizer

* internal metronome clock

* acts as USB host for USB-MIDI devices (keyboards, knob banks, etc -- no Manta required!)

* acts as USB host for HID joysticks and game controllers 

* microtonal scale functionality

* LED indicators for each CV output 

* allows note handling from monophonic style up to 4-note polyphony 

* acts as USB device if plugged into a computer, allowing USB-MIDI to CV conversion from DAWs and programming languages like Max/MSP and Supercollider
