"POCKET DIAL is a MIDI control box with 16 endless rotary encoders. This enables a jump-less change of parameters - provided that the device or software controlled by POCKET DIAL features data feedback of the new starting data after a preset change as POCKET DIAL needs the starting values of theparameters of the new preset. Another possibility is the increment/decrement control of the parameters in question. In this case the POCKET DIAL does not "know" the absolute values of the parameters but transmits only inc/dec data to the device/software.


FEATURES:

• 16 high quality endless rotary encoders (alpha dials), manufacturer: ALPS

• solid silver-grey metallic housing made of 1 mm steel

• measures about 25 x 9.5 x 4.5 cm (9-3/4 x 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 inch)

• black knobs, about 18 mm diameter, having a good grip

• distance between the knobs about 30 mm (from center to center)

• 4 banks that can be selected very fast via 4 buttons and blue LEDs (thus 64 "virtual" controllers are available)

• 32 presets (with 4 banks each, i.e. 128 presets altogether), selected via DIP switch at the rear panel

• program change button (as long as this buttons is pressed the encoder below no 8 transmits program change messages for fast preset changes of the unit controlled by POCKET DIAL)

• 24 detents/pulses per rotation, i.e. the data change is +/-24 per turn (if the encoder is turned slow, see acceleration)

• acceleration function, i.e. the data change increases if the encoders are turned faster

• the editor program (PC version) enables the user to program his own 128 presets. This means that you can define the function of each of the 16 controllers in your own 128 presets. You no longer depend on the factory presets! The program can be downloaded free of charge from Doepfer’s internet site.

• Uses easily available 9VDC power supply - 100 ma (NOT INCLUDED)"
