Expert Sleepers has announced their latest Eurorack module, the FH-1 'faderHost' USB MIDI Host, a USB MIDI Host in an 8HP Eurorack module, allowing you to directly connect a USB MIDI controller to your modular synthesizer. Using a suitable connector box, that USB MIDI controller can be an iPad or plain old computer.
As well as simple direct control of the output CVs from MIDI CCs, the FH-1 also offers:
LFOs on each output
Step sequencers
Polyphonic MIDI/CV conversion
much more
Preliminary Specifications (subject to change):
Panel width: 8HP
Module depth: 43mm
Current draw: 70mA on the +12V rail, 30mA on the -12V rail (100mA total)
plus the power requirement of the attached USB device.
