ADRENALINN SE UPDATE 5.3 MAC VERSION 

MIDI SETUP 

In the update version 5.3 (Mac only) we added Virtual Midi Interface that serves as a bridge between Midi Sequencers (Protools, Logic Cubase and etc.) through the editor to the Adrenalinn. With the editor running you can notice a presence of the new Midi In and Midi Out ports:  Soundtower AD SE V-Output Port and  Soundtower AD SE V-Input Port . In the editor's setup, those ports should never be selected - they are active all the time and they are designed to be used only by other external Midi applications that you wish to communicate with the editor. In the editor's Midi Setup we included some filters that you can use to fine tune your application according to your needs:

When selected, the physical MIDI IN (Midi Controller) is activated. This port can be used to connect Midi Controllers, Midi Pedals, Midi Keyboards and etc. The Continuous Controller data (CC) coming through this port can be mapped to control any Adrenalinn Parameter via editor.

When selected, the Continuous Controller data (CC) coming from the MIDI IN (Midi Controller) port is routed through the editor. The editor changes the value of mapped Adrenalinn Parameter according to the editor's Continuous Controller Map and sends it to MIDI OUT Port where the Adrenalinn is connected. Continuous Controller Mapping table is accessible from the window Midi menu.

This option passes the Midi Clock to Adrenalinn from either MIDI IN (Midi Controller) or Soundtower AD SE V-Output Port. 

Note: For the Midi Clock to work, the Adrenallin's Sync option has to be set to receive external clock.

If enabled, the editors controls (knobs and etc.) will turn and adjust accordingly when CC data is received. The graphical interface always uses some CPU processing power - on some slower systems this may produce unwanted delay. If disabled, the editor still sends mapped CC parameter change to the Adrenalinn but does not show in on it's graphical interface. 

This option enables you to insert actual Adrenalinn System Exclusive Parameter Change Commands or even send complete Preset/DrumBeat sysex dumps to the Midi Sequencer tracks via Soundtower AD SE V-Output Port. It also enables sysex data to pass from Soundtower AD SE V-Output Port to MIDI Out PORT where the Adrenalinn is connected.

EXAMPLE OF A VIRTUAL MIDI INTERFACE USE

1) When Arenalinn SE application is running it makes its VMI ports accessible to other Midi applications. You can select VMI Soundtower AD SE V-Input Port as the Midi Output port for a midi track in the sequencer. 

2) Using the editor CC Mapping we assigned 023 DLY -VOLUME ( Delay Volume) to Continuous Controller No7 - 007 Main Volume.

3) Now when we adjust sequencer track Volume level, the editor's Delay Volume knob turns as well and the Adrenalinn's Delay Volume will also change in real time. You may notice that here Midi Volume track slider has a value 57 and the editor's know being set to 44. The difference in values is caused by Midi Volume value range 0 to 127 and Adrenalinn's Delay Volume value range which is 0 to 99. 

By following this simple example you can dynamically control ALL Adrenalinn parameters using Sequencer Mixers, controls or  insert CC changes anywhere on Sequencer tracks for a playback. 

 

PLAYING ADRENALINN'S SINGLE DRUM SOUNDS   

Similarly to CC mapping, you can set the editor to play drum notes. By using Drum Kit Arranger you can create your own Drum Kit that suit your style. With some knowledge you may even create GM Kits that can be applied to your existing Sequencer drum tracks. To play drum notes from the sequencer select Soundtower AD SE V-Input Port as a track's Midi Out port. The Adrenalinn will play drum notes according to the Drum Kit map. The drum sample groups "KICK", "SNARE" and "HATS" have a note velocity spread over the 127 note velocity range in multiples of 13. A note velocity of "PERC" group is set in steps of 25 or 40 of 127 note velocity range.  Notes with velocity lower than 5 are not played.
