## Description

#### Description

The **MIDI8d** is a 4HP wide, simple and versatile Eurorack module that can output **8 digital gate or clock signals** from a single **MIDI TRS** input connection.

If you also need analog CV outputs, have a look at the MIDI8d+.

#### Firmware

The core of the MIDI8d is a classic **Arduino Nano** (ATmega328p), programmable with the free Arduino IDE. Different firmware sketches can be uploaded to adapt or completely change the module’s behaviour.

Firmwares are cross-compatible between MIDI8d and MIDI8d+.

#### Typical uses:

* 8 drum trigger outputs, reacting to MIDI Channel 10 (notes 36 to 43)
* MIDI Clock with various time divisions and Start/Stop Gate outputs
* MIDI channel activity monitor
* … and many more: write your own!

Open source firmware repository: https://github.com/dhaillant/midi8d/

#### Hardware

The module consists of two PCBs:

* the Front PCB, supporting all jack connectors and LEDs
* the Rear PCB, supporting the Arduino Nano and the Eurorack power input

The **MIDI input jack is a stereo TRS Type A** connector (Tip = Sink, Ring = Source). The MIDI input circuit is built around the high-speed optocoupler 6N137.

Components are pre-assembled SMD, the only remaining components to solder are classic Through Hole parts, making the build very accessible.
