Pitch, Velocity and Gate messages derived from two separate MIDI channels. ● MIDI input connector - the MIDI 1U module does not have its own MIDI input jack. This enables you to use the MIDI/USB inputs built-in to your Intellijel 7U Performance Case or Palette Case. -
Page 6: Installation
INSTALLATION The MIDI 1U system is designed specifically for use within an Intellijel-standard 1U row, such as contained within the Intellijel 4U, 7U, and Palette cases. Intellijel’s 1U specification is derived from the Eurorack mechanical specification set by Doepfer that is designed to support the use of lipped rails within industry standard rack heights. -

. In LEARN MOD+CH mode, the LEARN button flashes blue , indicating that MIDI 1U is awaiting a MIDI message (and that it’s also capable of learning the MOD jack assignment). Send any channel-based MIDI message into the MIDI 1U. -
Page 17: Learn The Cc Jack Assignment
MOD voltage will be bipolar (i.e. CC Value of 64 = 0V; CC Value of 0 = -5V; CC Value of 127 = +5V). Send the MIDI 1U a MIDI message using the MIDI CC number that you want assigned to the MIDI 1U’s CC jack. -
Page 18: Learn The Mod Jack Assignment
MOD voltage will be bipolar (i.e. CC Value of 64 = 0V; CC Value of 0 = -5V; CC Value of 127 = +5V). Send the MIDI 1U a MIDI message using the MIDI CC number that you want assigned to the MIDI 1U’s MOD jack. -
Page 19: Dual Mode
Dual Mode MIDI 1U offers an alternate, dual channel mode that reconfigures the jacks for 2-channel operation. In this mode, you have independent MIDI control of the pitch, gate and velocity for two different MIDI channels (repurposing the MOD , CC and TRIG jacks for PITCH , VEL and GATE jacks, respectively, for CH B). - Page 20 ), long press (>1.5 sec) the LEARN button to revert to Normal Mode. MIDI 1U reconfigures back to a single channel device, and restores the MOD , CC and TRIG settings to their previously programmed conditions. NOTE: By default, Normal Mode uses the same MIDI channel as CH A. So, if you changed CH A’s setting in Dual Mode, that will be the new MIDI channel assignment in Normal Mode.
