Expert Sleepers General CV: A Multifaceted GM Synthesizer and MIDI Hub

The Expert Sleepers General CV is a unique 12HP module that introduces a full General MIDI 2 (GM2) sound engine to the modular ecosystem. More than just a synthesizer with 128 instruments and 5 drum kits, it acts as a sophisticated CV-to-MIDI host and algorithmic processor. Whether you want it to behave like a standard modular VCO, generate lush polyphonic chords from a single pitch CV, or trigger complex drum patterns, the General CV delivers a wide palette of sounds. Its MicroSD slot enables MIDI file playback synced to your modular clock, effectively turning your rack into a high-powered hardware groovebox.

Key Features:

• Extensive Sound Library: 128 GM2 sounds and 5 drum kits, ranging from pianos to specialized sound effects.

• Eight Playback Modes: Features dedicated modes for VCO behavior, Chord/Arpeggio generation, and MIDI file playback.

• MIDI Expansion: Includes a header compatible with MIDI breakout modules for controlling external gear.

• Intuitive Interface: High-contrast OLED display and 5 rotary encoders for rapid navigation and preset management.
