MVC C

Description

MVC stands for MIDI Voice Control. Each of the MVCs takes an incoming MIDI signal and converts it into a set of individual signals (e.g. Velocity, Gate signals etc.) that can be passed on to other modules within the patch. Each MVC also applies some interpretation of the incoming signal, for instance to determine the range of effect of Pitch Wheel signals on the frequency of Oscillator modules etc.

MVC C significantly expands on the features offered by the MVC B. Additions are as follows:

Pitch Tracking
Unison Mode
Additional MIDI data pass-through: Pitch Bend, Mod Wheel, Polyphonic Aftertouch

N.B. Unlike the MVC B, the MVC C does not have an input for setting the Portamento/Glissando Mode. This can only be set in the Module Popup.
