Welcome to the DROID X7 expander. The X7 gives you USB and MIDI connectivity for your Droid Master and also four gate outputs with modular levels.

You can process incoming and generate outgoing MIDI streams, both via classical DIN cables and via USB.  Both the in and the out direction support polyphony with eight or even more voices in parallel.

For size reasons the X7 uses 3.5 mm TRS jacks for MIDI instead of the classical DIN jacks. But it comes with two DIN to TRS adapters, so you are free to use either form factor.

As a bonus feature, the X7 provides super fast loading of DROID patches via USB - without any need for putting the SD card in and out anymore.

Open your Droid environment up to the outside world with X7, a MIDI and USB Expander by Der Mann mit der Maschine. Through the onboard TRS jacks or the USB port, X7 is able to generate and process streams of MIDI data moving in and out of your Droid patches. X7 also serves as a bridge between two Droid Masters, and when connected to a computer can instantly swap patches via MIDI Sysex—eliminating the need to remove SD cards! There are also four gate outputs which may be patched around your system to sync event and clock pulses from within Droid.

Here are some examples of what you can do with the X7:
  • Attach external MIDI keyboards + Controllers to your modular.
  • Use an external hardware sequencer for playing melodies and beats in your modular.
  • Use an external MIDI controller to influence your DROID patch.
  • Do the same with a MIDI controller app on your tablet or phone (via USB).
  • Use your modular for playing polyphonic music and beats on your hardware synths or software synth plugins in your DAW, tablet or phone.
  • Connect two DROIDs (both with X7) and exchange real time CVs and triggers.
  • Use the four additional gate outputs on the X7 for sending clocks, gates and triggers and free your valuable CV outputs for other things.
  • Access the SD card in your master just like a USB stick for direct access to it via your PC, Mac, phone or tablet.
  • Alternatively load new patches to your master via MIDI sysex from your PC - and get your new patch ideas up and running in less than a second.
Included In The Box:
  • 2x TRS MIDI Adapters
  • Short Ribbon Cable for connecting the X7 to the Droid Master
  • Longer Ribbon Cables can be purchased here
