Sequencer, performance control system and USB interface.
The real power of CARBON lies in how variations of sequences are made. By turning the PATTERN control, steps in the sequence are enabled and disabled. The patterns will inspire you by creating new rhythms and motifs with the twist of a knob.
Adding the concept of scenes lets you switch between different parts of a song or different variations. Scenes can store the range of steps to play, the pattern, track mute state and other parameters. Switching back and forth between scenes offers endless performance potential without ever missing a beat.
MIDI Switching / Routing System
CARBON is a complete performance switching system allowing you to easily send your keyboard signal to MIDI and analog instruments. Two built-in MIDI outputs enable separate routing of clock and channel signals from each track. The analog section supports four CV/gate outputs plus reset and clock signals. Monophonic and duo/polyphonic output are supported.
Arpeggiator
A good arpeggiator has been the holy grail electronic performers for decades. CARBON has a powerful internal arpeggiator that supports all the standard arp types and loads more. Each of the six tracks in CARBON has a separate arp.
When the sequence is running the arp automatically syncs to the sequencer. When it's stopped, the arp starts as soon as you press a key. Intelligent reload arp programming allows you time to change chords without losing a step.
USB MIDI Host
Want to use a USB controller that lacks MIDI output ports? No problem! CARBON has a built-in USB host interface that will power your class-compliant MIDI device and allow you to use it to control CARBON or send MIDI or CV/gate signals to any device. You no longer need a computer or other dedicated box to use your favourite USB MIDI controller.
USB to MIDI and CV Interface
Need to use your computer for bigger compositions? Don't worry, you don't have to disconnect CARBON. When plugged into a PC or Mac, CARBON becomes a powerful MIDI and CV interface. Use the control surface to run your DAW software. The display can also be controlled via MIDI. All your instruments connected to the MIDI and analog CV ports can be used directly from your DAW software. The analog clock and reset outputs can also be used to drive analog clock-based gear from your DAW.
