In order to control pre-MIDI synthesisers from a modern MIDI instrument or sequencer, you need to change the digital MIDI messages into the kind of signals the pre-MIDI synth can understand.

Extended information

The PRO-SOLO is designed to control one monosynth and features a single CV & Gate output, fully programmable auxiliary CV output and 1 LFO. Editing is easy with its LED display and non-volatile setup memory. Can also be used as a Sync 24 and arpeggio clock converter.
