MIDI Setup

Assumptions

It is assumed that the user is familiar with the basic functionality of the hardware synthesizer, its User Manual and the basic

concept of MIDI itself. Without this knowledge, utilizing the Editor may be a bit more challenging to set up and use properly.

By familiarizing yourself with the synthesizer manufacturers User Manual, this User Manual, and having a basic

understanding of MIDI, you should be able to get up and running in a short amount of time.

Setting Up the Synth

Make sure you have your MIDI ports and channels set up and matching properly and that all cables are working and

connected properly.

1. This software is designed to be used with LP firmware version 3.11 674/32. Firmware versions above this may or may not

be supported by this version of the VST-AU Little Phatty Editor™. If you need to update your firmware, follow the directions

provided with your firmware installer from Moog Music.

2. On the Synth, set the Master/MIDI Setup/Send CC's to 'All CC's'.

3. Set Master/MIDI Setup/Send 14bit to Off.

4. Set the MIDI IN and Out ports and channels to the one connected to your computer.

Setting Up the Plug-in for your Host (DAW)

The setup procedure will vary by Host. Each Host will support plug-ins differently. Please refer to the 'Supported Hosts' list

for this products support web page on the reKon audio web site at www.rekonaudio.com. Also, please refer to the setup

instructions provided with your Host application for setting up a VST or AU plug-in.

Syncing both the DAW Host and the Editor with the Synth

The Editor gives you several options for routing MIDI data bidirectionally. As a result, you can send Host MIDI data into the

Editor, which in turn, will get sent on to the Synth via the Editors MIDI Out port. In this process, the MIDI data is actually

transferring between two separate MIDI systems; the Host's, and the Editor's. This transfer process may work fine for

previewing your sounds, and possibly smaller projects, but will likely not suffice for a lot of sequenced data. If you are having

issues with syncing and hearing delayed or offset playback from the Synth when using the Host to send MIDI data to the

Synth through the Editor, then you can create a setup that prevents the latency/syncing issues.

You can use a Virtual MIDI Cable and a MIDI Routing Application to allow BOTH the DAW host and the Editor direct access

to the same MIDI Output port using their own systems. This allows you to have the DAW host sequencer send its data

straight to the Synth. And, the Editor will have its direct connection to the Synth as well.

Here's how to set it all up. (In this example, the following tools were used. Other tools may work in a similar way):

• Windows 7 64bit (with a MOTU MIDI Express XT using port 8 to connect to the Synth MIDI In and Out)

• MIDI-Ox (a free MIDI Routing App)

• LoopBe (Virtual MIDI Cable). (MIDI Yoke and Maple MIDI will work with 32bit Win OS, but not 64bit Win OS).

• Any reKon audio or Moog Music VST-AU Editor™ product.

• Cubase 5 32bit (DAW host).
