FEATURES FEATURESFEATURES
FEATURES
VS-MIDI is a MIDI retrofit for Vermona Synthesizer. The VS-MIDI interface controls VCO, EG, VCF and VCA
circuits of the Vermona Synthesizer via MIDI commands.
The interface only receives MIDI data and converts them to signals for the Vermona Synthesizer control. The
instrument’s own control elements (keyboard, switches, knobs, etc.) are not transmitted as a MIDI data and
their status cannot be saved in the interface’s memory as a patch.
All functions of the interface are simply controlled by standard MIDI commands (CCs, Program Change, etc.).
Some special functions controlled by MIDI SysEx messages are available for advanced users.
The interface has internal memory for saving of interface’s own settings. Content of the memory can be backed
up in any MIDI DAW, sequencer, etc.

Box. MIDI input of the other (next in chain) MIDI device can be simply fed from MIDI-THRU/OUT output of the
interface (see fig. 1).
If there are no other MIDI devices to be used, only MIDI-IN cable is necessary (from MIDI output of host system
to MIDI-IN input of the interface).

INTERFACE OPERATION INTERFACE OPERATIONINTERFACE OPERATION
INTERFACE OPERATION
The interface doesn’t have any manual control element. All functions of the interface are controlled by
interfaces parameters (see chapter 4). The parameters can be set / adjusted by MIDI commands only. Most of
them are simply set by MIDI Control Changes - CCs (see chapter 5.1.2).
Working status of the interface is indicated by bi-color LED. The indication LED is placed under the “MAINS“
switch on the instrument’s front panel. The LED lights red in quiescent condition – it indicates power-on status
of the Vermona Synthesizer instrument. An interface activity can be indicated by the yellow light of the
indication LED. Mode of the LED indication is user selectable (see chapter 4.2.13). If there is an error occurred,
the indication LED starts to blink periodically (see chapter 6.2).

RESET STATUS RESET STATUSRESET STATUS
RESET STATUS
When the Vermona Synthesizer instrument is switched on, the interface is disabled (it does not affect the
instrument) and the instrument can be used usual way like no MIDI interface has been installed. The interface is
now monitoring the incoming MIDI data.

MIDI MODE MIDI MODEMIDI MODE
MIDI MODE
When an acceptable MIDI command (see chapter 5) is received, the interface turns to MIDI mode automatically
and takes control over instrument’s circuits (see fig. 3) accordingly to the incoming MIDI data.

Simultaneous usage of MIDI Notes and instrument’s own keyboard causes that the instrument is playing considerably out of tune (see chapter 6.1)!

Interface reset can be also executed by the MIDI common system command “Reset” or by System Exclusive message “HW Reset” (see MIDI SysEx
Communication manual).

. Values of all interface patch
parameters in edit buffer can be
modified by MIDI CCs (see chapter
5.1.2.2) - it is possible to change
them in a real time during playing the
instrument (see fig. 5). These
changes are temporary only. lf
necessary, new setting of the
parameters can be stored in an user
patch memory - up to 32 interface
patch parameters settings can be
stored (see MIDI SysEx

The parameter adjusts assignment of received MIDI Note numbers to the instrument keys. The parameter value
specifies exactly the number of MIDI Note which is assigned to the lowest key of the instrument’s keyboard. It
can be changed by MIDI CC Nr. 16 - see chapter 5.1.2.2.
The parameter value can be from 0 to 84. If value 0 is set, the lowest key on the keyboard corresponds to MIDI
Note Nr. 0 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 43. If value 1 of the parameter is set, the lowest
key on the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 1 and the highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 44, etc.
up to value 84 of the parameter when the lowest key of the keyboard corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 84 and the
highest key corresponds to MIDI Note Nr. 127. See fig. 6 on next page for more details.

The parameter adjusts maximal allowed VCO’s pitch bending for full range of MIDI Pitch Bend. It can be
changed by MIDI CC Nr. 17 - see chapter 5.1.2.2.
The parameter value is from 0 to 12. The 0 value switches the pitch bend off – the Pitch Bend MIDI command is
ignored. The values of 1 to 12 are equal to bending the pitch in semitones. Bending up to ±1 octave is available
thus.
Remark:
Remark:Remark:
Remark: The detune range of the VCO upwards can be limited for the highest octave and detune range higher than
approximately 4 semitones. This limitation is caused by the construction of the Vermona Synthesizer and it cannot be removed.

The interface accepts Note-On and Note-Off commands in the range of max. 44 notes. Accepted range of the
MIDI note numbers are defined by the “MIDI Notes Shift” interface patch parameter (see chapter 4.2.1).
Although the Vermona Synthesizer is monophonic instrument, the interface memories last six active “Note-On”
commands. This feature is used when more keys are pressed on a master keyboard and the last pressed key is
then released. In this case, the interface switches back to the last previously pressed key. If there are already six
keys pressed and a next key is added, the newly added key replaces the key pressed at earliest (the last pressed
key has the highest priority).

Remark: If the Legato is on, the patch parameter “EG Retrigger Mode“ is ignored – it is always set “Off“. After
switching the Legato off, the original status of the “EG Retrigger Mode“ is recalled.

STRUCTURE OF SYSEX COMMUNICATION
The MIDI System Exclusive communication (see fig. 9) enables many operations:
• It enables to rewrite content of any individual patch
① in interface memory as well as content of global
parameters bank
③ . The content of any individual patch ② or global bank ④ can also be read from the
interface on demand.
• Actual active patch can be changed
⑤ or overwritten with data from the edit buffer ⑥ .
• System functions
⑦ allow to process some special commands.

SUPPORT FOR SYSEX MESSAGES CREATION
As a support for the users we have made the SysEx Messages Generator software utility (see fig. 10) to create
MIDI System Exclusive messages to control the interface. All necessary SysEx messages can be created with this
generator without difficult calculating of binary or hexadecimal numbers. The SysEx Messages Generator utility
is available at our web site (“Support → Manuals & Support Software” page). Detailed description how to use
the utility is available in the MIDI SysEx Communication manual.

If you create a SysEx message yourself, it is necessary to calculate the “Checksum” byte. It can be processed
very simply with the CHD Checksum Calculator (see fig. 11). This special software calculator with guide how to
use it is available at our web site (“Support → Generally Applicable Software → CHD Checksum Calculator”
page).

6.1
LIMITATION OF THE INTERFACE OPERATION LIMITATION OF THE INTERFACE OPERATIONLIMITATION OF THE INTERFACE OPERATION
LIMITATION OF THE INTERFACE OPERATION
• The instrument must be controlled only by own keyboard or only by MIDI Notes – do not press keys on the
Vermoana’s keyboard during the MIDI control. It causes that the instrument’s VCO sounds totally out of tune!
• Maximal possible range of the instrument's VCO is 3 1/2 octaves. It conforms to range of acceptable MIDI
Notes. So a limitation of instrument’s VCO detuning by Pitch Bend MIDI command can occur on notes near
the low and high ends of the range when the requested detuning is larger than the instrument’s VCO
capabilities.
• Maximal speed of EG Retrigger is limited by the hardware construction of the instrument. If MIDI clock
frequency used for synchronization is extremely fast, the EG can work irregularly (some break pulses might be
omitted) especially if very short arpeggio note length is set. In such case, adjustment of the Gate Interrupt
Duration system parameter can help (see chapter 6.4).

ERROR STATUS INDICATION ERROR STATUS INDICATIONERROR STATUS INDICATION
ERROR STATUS INDICATION
If any fatal error occurs in the very exceptional case during the interface operation, the interface’s indication
LED blinks in yellow periodically. In this case, the interface must be reset to restore the operation – it is
necessary to turn the instrument off and then on after a while.

ERRORS CAUSED BY MIDI LOOP ERRORS CAUSED BY MIDI LOOPERRORS CAUSED BY MIDI LOOP
ERRORS CAUSED BY MIDI LOOP
When the VS-MIDI interface is controlled by a sequencer (DAW) bi-directionally (connection with both MIDI
cables – see fig. 2) and the sequencer isn’t set correctly, communication loop might occur and the entire MIDI
system “freezes”. All MIDI data incoming from sequencer to the interface are transferred back to the sequencer
(THRU function) – this causes infinite cyclic transfer of the same MIDI data through the sequencer. To avoid this
situation, throughput of MIDI data from input to output must be turned off in the sequencer. This function is
usually called MIDI ECHO or MIDI THRU. Check the user manual of your Sequencer for that setting.

EG BREAK PULSE DURATION ADJUSTMENT EG BREAK PULSE DURATION ADJUSTMENTEG BREAK PULSE DURATION ADJUSTMENT
EG BREAK PULSE DURATION ADJUSTMENT
The length of the break impulses is defined by the following formula:
EG BREAK PULSE DURATION = (PARAMETER VALUE + 2) / 2
EG BREAK PULSE DURATION = (PARAMETER VALUE + 2) / 2EG BREAK PULSE DURATION = (PARAMETER VALUE + 2) / 2
EG BREAK PULSE DURATION = (PARAMETER VALUE + 2) / 2 [in milliseconds]
The parameter values range is 0 - 58, corresponding to the length of the break impulses 1 ms - 30 ms. Default
value is 6 (e.g. impulse with the length of approx. 4 ms). It is suitable for the most situations, only in the
exceptional situations the value of the parameter can be adjusted to provide reliable reaction of the Vermona
Synthesizer EG circuits. (see fig. 5).
Remark:
Remark:Remark:
Remark: Duration of generated interrupt pulses need not be changed from the factory pre-defined setting in
most cases. Only if the instrument reacts unreliable (i.e. some pulses are omitted and the envelope generator
runs irregularly) it is necessary to adjust the duration of the pulses.

VCO CV CALIBRATION VCO CV CALIBRATIONVCO CV CALIBRATION
VCO CV CALIBRATION
The calibration allows exact adjustment of interface’s D/A converter controlling the instrument’s VCO. Range of
the calibration is approx. ±100 cents, tuning step is 1, 5873 cent (see table 8).
Remark:
Remark:Remark:
Remark: The calibration need not be proceed in most cases. Only if tuning of instrument’s own keyboard and
external MIDI keyboard (DAW) doesn’t match, you can correct this by the D/A converter calibration.
