Bastl Instruments 1999 — MIDI Expander for Neo Trinity with USB Host, MIDI-to-CV and Clock Synchronization
Bastl Instruments 1999 is a clever little MIDI expander for the Neo Trinity, adding TRS MIDI In/Out and USB-C connectivity to the six-channel modulation hub. It lets you connect your modular system to a DAW, groovebox, MIDI keyboard or other MIDI equipment, with communication going both ways. The USB port can operate as either a host or a device, so you can even connect a USB MIDI controller directly to your rack without needing a computer.
Together with the new Neo Trinity 2.0 firmware, 1999 opens up more than a few new possibilities. Incoming MIDI notes can be converted into CV/Gate sequences and recorded directly into Neo Trinity, while CV/Gate signals can also be converted back into MIDI notes. MIDI CC messages can control Neo Trinity's parameters, and your recorded knob movements can be sent to external gear. There's also extensive clock handling, including synchronisation via USB or TRS MIDI and conversion of internal or analog clock signals into MIDI clock, complete with Start/Stop messages.
The two modules communicate through rear expansion headers, keeping the front panel free of additional patch cables. You can even chain several Neo Trinity modules together, with MIDI channels assigned automatically. An optically isolated MIDI input helps prevent grounding noise, while its USB Host mode can supply power to connected devices. This is a really simple way to get Neo Trinity talking to just about everything else in your setup.
