The Metaconformer is an innovative yet curiously overdue addition to the world of MIDI technology. It's one of those inventions that make you wonder why it didn't exist 40 years ago and why it isn't already a standard feature in every MIDI keyboard.
SimplexFM is the new groundbreaking firmware which turns METACONFORMER module into 4 track digital organismic synth. This is a free firmware for METACONFORMER. SimplexFM is the pocket-sized successor of LYRA-8 ideas. Complex and surprising sound behavior comes from the interaction of timbres, not dozens of modulators and LFOs. For launching SimplexFM you need to buy METACONFORMER. If you have METACONFORMER you just need to download simplex firmware from the Soma website.
In a nutshell, the METACONFORMER is a versatile tool that serves as a MIDI splitter, combiner, and CC (Continuous Controller) translator. However, it's the CC translation feature that truly sets it apart.
Imagine having the power to manipulate any MIDI CC parameter with ease, simply by playing a note on your MIDI keyboard or sequencer. That's precisely what the METACONFORMER allows you to do when you connect one or two units in Translator mode. It opens up a world of creative possibilities for tweaking and shaping your synths and sound in real-time.
Switch to Combiner mode, and you can forge expansive hybrid polysynths by merging your collection of analogue monosynths. You can even combine two four-voice synths into a magnificent eight-voice polysynth, or any other creative configuration that sparks your imagination.
In Splitter mode, the Metaconformer enables you to assign and position up to eight instruments across different sections of your MIDI keyboard, all on the same MIDI channel. It's a dream come true for those who want maximum control and flexibility.
Despite its incredible capabilities, the Metaconformer maintains a compact footprint that easily integrates into any studio setup. Plus, it remembers your settings even when powered off, so you can set it up and then tuck it out of sight. To keep it budget-friendly, it features mini-TRS jacks for MIDI, as using six MIDI DIN ports would have necessitated a considerably larger PCB and enclosure. And the best part? It works with both A and B types, so any existing adapters you have will seamlessly connect with the Metaconformer.
In a world where MIDI technology continues to evolve, the Metaconformer stands as a long-overdue game-changer, ready to elevate your music production to new heights.
