Manufacturer's description
CVOCD-X expands the CV.OCD programmable MIDI-to-CV interface. It is a module into which the CV.OCD board fits. The internal CV.OCD board is included; fitted ready to use.
CV.OCD is a device which converts MIDI signals to the control voltage (CV) and trigger/gate signals which are used to control analog synthesizers and gives you four CV outputs and twelve gate outputs which can be assigned to a range of MIDI controllers and events. For a full description of the functionality, please see the CV.OCD product page.
The CVOCD-X adds the following to the CV.OCD:
- 4mm Sockets (For ‘Banana’ plugs) on all CV and gate outputs, plus a ground socket.
- Selectable gate output voltage level (5V, 10V or 15V). There is a voltage selector switch for each group of four gate output sockets (equivalent to using three separate Gate Boost modules to boost the usual 5V gate voltage from the CV.OCD)
- CV limit switch, which prevents any CV output from exceeding 5V for equipment which not tolerant to higher voltages (when the limit switch is off, the usual CV range is 0-8V)
- LED indicators on every output to indicate its state and make activity easy to monitor
- Internal voltage boost converter generates 10V and 15V levels from a 9V supply
- A power supply is included. (Power is a barrel connector with 2.1mm pin and centre negative polarity. Needs to be 9V or 12V DC with a current rating of 500mA or more.)
MIDI connection is a standard 5-pin DIN socket. A MIDI interface or USB-to-MIDI cable is required for connection to a computer.
Power socket is for a 9VDC centre-negative barrel connector with 2.1mm pin (as used on guitar pedals). Can accept a voltage between 9VDC and 12VDC. Power supply must have a current rating of 500mA or greater. Although CVOCD-X uses less than 100mA when running, a higher current is required when initially powering on.
- Dimensions: 250 x 107 x 32
- Weight: 515 g
- Laser-cut acrylic case secured with bolts. Face plate is PCB material.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD and Royal Mail for the UK, and for international orders it's either DPD, DHL, FedEx, UPS or Royal Mail depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday delivery
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Most orders are delivered within 3 to 5 working days if sent on a courier service. Royal Mail services can take a lot longer and are often less secure.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
