MIDI to CV/Gate interface + onboard generative Engines.
Pure power. Tiny footprint. Designed for xp32, built for hybrid setups.
Core is a powerful interface designed to unlock the full potential of your modular system. Acting as the brain of your rig, it seamlessly routes and transforms MIDI signals into precise CV and Gate outputs, offering unmatched flexibility in a compact form factor.
Whether you’re triggering drums, sequencing melodies, or crafting dynamic modulation presets, Core is your direct, minimal–latency link from MIDI to modular.
Connect one or two xp32 modules to command up to 64 assignable outputs (Engines). Experience the freedom of a massive modular sequencing matrix without giving up precious rack space.

Bridge your entire studio, perfectly synced.
With robust USB Host, USB Device, and MIDI inputs, Core intelligently merges all incoming signals. It is the ultimate translator between your computer, your favorite hardware sequencers, your keyboards, and your Eurorack.
Core doesn't just take your MIDI input and convert it into CV Pitch, Gate, Velocity, Aftertouch, or Control Change. Thanks to its Engines, Core can also shape the signal itself, applying range, glide to pitch, slew to modulation signals, ...
Take the lead with a dedicated Play/Stop button and precise internal BPM to act as your system's master clock, or seamlessly configure Core to follow your external gear. There’s even a master Swing effect.
The dedicated MIDI Output effortlessly converts USB MIDI to classic MIDI, while broadcasting rock–solid sync across any ports.

A generative powerhouse.
Core isn't just an interface, it's also a standalone creative tool. Internally generate massive modulations with up to 64 LFOs, drive your system with up to 64 clocks, or build complex polyrhythms with up to 64 euclidean generators.
Need an envelope? Core can directly generate rich ADSR signals, saving you from patching external gate–to–envelope modules.
Some generative output Engines, like Motif and LFO, can even use an embedded custom scale builder, to generate simple to complex melodic patterns.

The output arsenal.
Every signal you need, exactly where you need it.
32 outputs per xp32, 14 engines to choose from, freely assignable:
Instant recall.
A crisp OLED screen paired with an intuitive interface makes routing inputs and outputs very fast. The 8 Global Presets allows to save and recall your entire routing configuration.
Turn MIDI Into Motion.
The Map feature turns any incoming MIDI CC into instant hands–on control of your Core parameters. Learn a Control Change in seconds, assign it to any Engine parameter, and shape its response with custom min/max ranges, including inverted sweeps for dramatic performance moves.
