Hπ Compatible Products

Each product listed below becomes a fully retunable microtonal instrument when connected to a TPX Tonal Plexus or TBX1 Tuning Box with a MIDI cable. This list contains over 500 products, but it is not exhaustive; if you are wondering about a product not listed here, please contact us with the manufacturer and the full product name so that we can check it out. Alternatively, you can find out whether a product not listed here is compatible by checking its MIDI Implementation Chart (see below). Chances are, it will be compatible. If a chart is not available, usually compatibility can be determined by studying the User Manual; contact us for help. NOTE: All MIDI controllers having a MIDI OUT port are compatbile with TBX1, and virtually all software synthesizers are compatible with TBX1

NOTE: Please contact us before purchasing an Hπ product intended for use with any unit listed above that has qualifying indications such as the following...
† Denotes units which receive on fewer than 16 MIDI channels; the number after the dagger indicates maximum retuned polyphony.
* Denotes units having fixed pitch bend ranges which result in less precise tuning

MIDI Compatibility Requirements

H-Pi products are compatible with the widest range of MIDI equipment on the market; however, not all devices are compatible. The easiest way to check is to scan for the words MULTITIMBRAL and PITCH BEND in the user manual of any synth or sampler you want to retune with a TBX1 or Tonal Plexus controller. If pitch bend is supported and the device is multitimbral, then you are in business. There are some details to check which will help to confirm compatibility. You will want to check the MIDI Implementation Chart at the back of the owner's manual. The following parameters must be there:

* Denotes OPTIONAL functionality

MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART
FUNCTION	TRANSMITTED	RECOGNIZED	REMARKS
Channel Default Channel Changed	(any) (any)	1-16 (any)	See note below
Pitch Bend	(any)	O	All Recognized Channels
Control Change* 0, 32 6, 38 100,101	(any) (any) (any)	O O O	Bank Select MSB, LSB Data Entry MSB, LSB RPN MSB,LSB
Aux LOCAL ON/OFF	(any)	(any)	* Keyboard Synthesizers only
MODE 1: OMNI ON, POLY X = No O = Yes
IF PITCH BEND MESSAGES ARE NOT RECOGNIZED, THE DEVICE WILL NOT BE RETUNED

Notes about the requirements listed above:

Channel Default / Channel Changed — There are often two numbers here, in which case the first indicates the number of channels recognized by the device, and the second indictaes the possible settings for each of those channels. If the number of recognized channels is greater than one, the device is capable of producing retuned polyphony.
Pitch Bend — H-Pi products send TUNED output using pitch bend messages. If a device does not recognize these messages, it will not be retuned by the H-Pi unit's MIDI OUT (TUNED) port.
Control Change: 0,32 — this functionality is OPTIONAL; a device might not have banks, for example
Control Change: 6,38,100,101 — this functionality is OPTIONAL; these are needed to set the pitch bend range to the highest resolution possible = 1 semitone, but if Pitch Bend RPNs 100 and 101 are not recognized, the device is still compatible but the tuning resolution will be less exact and tuning tables must be altered to produce correct pitches.
Aux LOCAL ON/OFF: — Keyboard synthesizers without LOCAL CONTROL OFF (or equivalent) can be used as controllers for Hπ products, but without LOCAL OFF a keyboard's internal synthesizer will output two pitches for every key pressed. H-Pi products do not send LOCAL ON/OFF messages, so don't be alarmed if you see an X in the LOCAL ON/OFF box of your MIDI Implementation chart or it doesn't even appear on the chart; even if the message is not recognized, you can usually still set it manually. Look for LOCAL CONTROL OFF in the owner's manual. Questions? Contact us.
MODE 1: OMNI ON, POLY — the device must receive MIDI messages simultaneously on multiple channels and play more than one note at a time if you want retuned polyphony. NOTE: ployphony is limited to number of receiving channels; whereas keyboards are assumed to be polyphonic, wind controllers or mono-lead synths will still work as retuned monophonic instruments, so for those instruments, MODE 2: OMNI OFF, POLY or MODE 4: OMNI OFF, MONO will also work. Some devices have a MULTI mode, which usually means it is MULTITIMBRAL which is the best compatibility.
