Preliminary Data for the Model 21C Milton Touchplate Controller

Title link takes you to the full info. Some excerpts:

Outputs:
- Gate Out - returns a 5 volt high gate when a plate is touched
- Pressure out - returns a pot adjustable variable voltage which is governed by the amount of pressure applied to any given key
- Quantized Out - returns a quantized voltage string (16 half steps) generated by the 16 touchplates
- Slew Out - returns a pot-adjustable slewed variation of the Linear Voltage output (not quantized)
- Linear Out - returns 16 linear voltages scaled to the voltage threshold of the Milton Venti VC input.

Inputs:
EXT VC - provides a secondary external VC direction input so that the Milton may still be direction controlled when the 21C is installed. Indication of the effect of this external control will be shown on the main LEDs of the Milton M21 - they will not effect the status of the 16 key LEDs on the 21C itself - those will still show the last key touched.

Manual Controls:
- Pressure Scale - sets the maximum voltage level of the pressure output
- Glide - determines the amount of slew for the Slewed Output
-Fixed/Variable Range Select - sets the main output for FIXED range (scaled for Milton stage thresholds) or VARIABLE range
-Range - determines the maximum range of the main output. Each of the 16 keys will reflect 16 equal increments of this max level.
