The new MD24 MIDI decoder accepts MIDI input from a keyboard, sequencer, or other MIDI controller and in response generates up to 24 independent output signals.

Each output can provide either a general-purpose on/off trigger or a PWM servo control signal.

Features include:

• 24 x Independent 5V digital logic output
• Control via MIDI note, CC, program change, and other messages
• User-configurable MIDI response and PWM signal characteristics
• Compatibility with RC servos
• Standard MIDI IN and MIDI THRU ports
• PCB-mount MIDI connectors or optional remote connectors
• Output solder terminals with optional solderless terminal blocks
• Standard 26-pin output header for connection via ribbon cable

The MD24 is available either as a kit or fully assembled.  PDF documentation is available at the product page.

Amazon Payments has been added as a payment option.
