Chapter 1 Introduction What is energyXT? EnergyXT is an integrated powerful music production environment. A one-stop solution for making music so to speak. Whether you are a song writer who wants to record "hand-made" music, a producer who wants to tap the full potential of a software-based production environment, a sound designer who wants to shape sound, or a podcaster who is looking for a solution to simply cut his casts: energyXT is for you.
The Mixer The Mixer is the control center of energyXT. It houses all audio signals as separate channels which can be added dynamically. Parameters can either be automated from the Sequencer or controlled remotely from an external MIDI controller. With an unlimited number of possible VST effects, both insert and send, 4-band channel EQs and additional submix groups, mixing is as comfortable as it gets. The Modular environment The Modular environment is the core of energyXT and all its components.

Entering Demo mode in energyXT2.5 Compact EnergyXT2.5 Compact users can explore all functions of the full version by entering a restricted Demo mode. In Demo mode, you can test the full potential of the software, but you can't save a Project. As soon as you are about to use an exclusive energyXT2.5 feature you'll receive a notification. Click on ◊ Try to enter Demo mode and test the function. ◊ Cancel to abort and go back to energyXT2.5 Compact mode.
Chapter 2 Setup EnergyXT has a unique feature that separates it from many other music production software — It can be used as a portable application which can be launched from removable devices like USB flash drives. This gives you the opportunity to take your whole setup with you and make music on different computers. Of course, you can also conventionally install the software on a single computer.
◊ record and play back audio you need an audio interface. EnergyXT supports audio interfaces with DirectSound (DS) / ASIO on Windows, Core Audio on Mac OS X and ALSA on Linux operating systems. œœ If you want to work with VST instruments or record audio, it is strongly recommended that you use a professional audio interface to ensure low latency audio. œœ Connect and install all hardware before you enter the Setup of energyXT. Setting up your audio interface To set up your audio interface: i.
Setting folder paths EnergyXT offers a file browser which grants quick access to plug-ins, presets, projects and samples. To use the Browser effectively, you have to set the necessary folder paths first. To set the folder paths for the Browser: i. Go to File > Setup > Browser. ii. Select the entry for which you want to set the folder path. iii. Click on Add to add an entry to the list. iv. In the browser window, navigate to the folder which contains the respective files and confirm by clicking on OK.
Chapter 3 The Basics Target user: All users Structure of energyXT The main window Before you can start making music you have to learn the basics of energyXT first. The basic structure of energyXT is simple but effective. The main window is divided into three areas. 1 The menu bar and global control area The menu bar shows the options available for each of the three views (Modular, Sequencer, Mixer).
2 The Browser area With the Browser you can easily explore all plug-ins, presets, projects and samples on your computer, as long as you have located all relevant folders in the Setup beforehand. Each global entry in the Browser grants direct access to the deposited folders without cumbersome navigation. Via the Disks entry you can also explore all drives of your computer. The Audio pool entry lists all samples that are currently in use by your Project.
The song position pointer and timer (Sequencer) The song position pointer shows the actual playback position. It is represented by a vertical bar in the Sequencer view. By default, the position pointer causes the track view to scroll with the actual position during playback. You can place the song position pointer by clicking into the bar line above the displayed tracks. The song position timer shows the actual position of the song position pointer. It is located next to the transport controls.
Edit mode for tracks (Sequencer) You can switch each track into edit mode by double clicking on its name. In edit mode, you see a more detailed view of the track content for editing. The view depends on the track type. ◊ Instrument Tracks display note events in a piano roll editor. ◊ Audio Tracks display a detailed view of the waveform. ◊ Drum Tracks display note events with additonal drum specific controller data entries. All track types support the display of additional MIDI controller data.
Global settings Song tempo / Signature (All views) The song tempo and signature indicators show the current tempo in beats per minute (bpm) and the song's metric scheme. You can change both by clicking into the appropriate fields. Info panels (Sequencer) EnergyXT provides two info panels which show important options for the selected track or Part. The panels can be activated / deactivated by using the symbols next to the signature indicator.
Chapter 4 Multitrack Audio Recorder Target user: Podcaster, Songwriter, Sound Designer, Mastering-Engineer EnergyXT offers extensive capabilities for recording audio signals. Audio signals are generated by microphones when you record an acoustic instrument or a vocalist. Most commonly the signal of the microphone will pass a mixer and enter the computer through the audio interface. Some audio interfaces even allow for microphone signals to be plugged in directly.
2-channel setup You need ◊ a 2-channel audio interface with microphone inputs or ◊ a 2-channel audio interface with line inputs and a mixer. œœ A suitable combination of an audio interface and a mixer is always desirable as it gives way more flexibility for different recording purposes. Actually it is a prerequisite if you want to record a signal mix with a 2-channel audio interface. Microphone (e.g.
Multi-channel setup You need ◊ a multi-channel audio interface with microphone inputs or ◊ a multi-channel audio interface with line inputs and a mixer with direct outputs. Microphone (e.g. BEHRINGER B-2 PRO) Electric Guitar Guitar Amp (e.g. BEHRINGER LX210) Keyboard Bass Guitar Bass Head (e.g. BEHRINGER BX4500H) LINE IN 4-5 MIC IN 1/2 LINE IN 3 LINE IN 6 Analog Mixer (e.g.
Audio recording step by step The following section will show you how to make use of the full audio potential of energyXT. On the basis of a typical recording application, all important aspects of audio recording are covered from adjusting input signal levels up to the final mix. œœ Before you follow the instructions below, make sure you've already set up your computer and energyXT properly. See chapter "Setup" for details.
To add an Audio Track: i. In the Sequencer view from the menu, choose Track > Add New > Audio Track. ii. You may name each track to identify it easily. See chapter "Naming tracks (Sequencer)" for details. Alternatively, use the context menu on the empty track column or select an already present Audio Track and doubleclick into the track column to add a new track. iii. From the info panel, choose a recording format. Select Stereo for signal sources such as CD players and keyboards.
The monitoring options in energyXT are as follows: ◊ Off: Disables monitoring. ◊ Auto: Enables monitoring anytime (Default setting). ◊ Record: Enables monitoring only during recording. ◊ Manual: Enables monitoring only if the monitoring for each track is activated in the track column. i. From the menu, choose Options > Monitor and select the appropriate setting. To adjust the monitoring settings: In our example we chose the default setting Auto.
Configuring the metronome If you want to record several instruments one after the other it is critical that you perform your music as exactly as possible to a given song tempo when recording. In energyXT, you can use a metronome which, like its real counterpart, produces an audible click, the beat. To set the tempo: i. Input the song tempo into the field next to the transport controls. To configure the metronome: i. Right-click on the metronome icon. ii.
vi. Click on the Stop button in the transport controls to stop the recording. The Part ends as soon as you stop the recording. In our example we recorded a 4 bar Guitar take from the beginning of the song. Exchanging a part of a recorded take with a new recording Assuming that you have recorded a good take with just a small mistake you don't necessarily have to record the whole performance again. In fact you could pick a musically reasonable slice of your take (e.g.
vii. Select the isolated Part (slice) and choose Part > Delete to delete it. viii. Activate the grid snap function and set the grid to Bars. ix. Set the recording range in the bar line to the range of the now missing slice. x. Place the song position pointer at the beginning of the recording range. xi. Redo the recording. If you activate the loop mode, you may record several takes one after the other. xii. Adjust the edges of the newly recorded Part to match the gap between the surrounding Parts.
i. Split your recorded takes to musically reasonable Parts (e.g. verse, chorus, riff, solo). ii. Select the Parts you wish to reuse. Make use of the grid snap function to split Parts from bar to bar. iii. Hold the Ctrl key, grab the Parts with the mouse and drag them to a new position in the timeline. In our example we created a copy of the Guitar and Vocal Parts from bars 1-5 and moved this pattern to bars 9-13. Creating dynamic volume changes (energyXT2.
v. Use the mouse to drag the first node to the bottom (minimum volume) and the second to the top of the edit window (maximum volume). vi. Create another node at an intermediate volume position to slowly lower the track's volume. vii. To hold the reduced level, create another node. viii. Add a final node at the end of your Part to create a fade out.
ix. Curve the fade in / out by dragging down the circle in between the nodes with the mouse to create a smooth fade. These are the basics on how to work with envelopes. From this example you may go ahead and create your own envelopes for various parameters (e.g. Pan, EQ). In our example we created a simple volume envelope with a curved fade in and fade out in the Guitar track. Embedding loop samples With loop samples you can easily create songs of professional sound quality.
To resample a sample loop that doesn't match your song's tempo: i. In the Sequencer view, select the name entry of a loop sample from the Browser window and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it onto an Audio Track. ii. Set the grid snap function to Bar. iii. Select the Part with your loop sample and move it to the beginning of a bar. iv. Choose Stretch as the resample mode from the info panel. v. Move the right edge of the Part to the next bar where you wish the loop sample to end.
Editing audio You can edit your audio material directly within energyXT. Just double-click on the Part you wish to edit and you get access to common audio editing functions, such as Normalize, Fade In/Fade Out, Delete, Cut, Trim and Reverse. Functions of the Audio editor: ◊ Normalize: Adjusts/increases the amplitude of the audio signal without introducing distortion. ◊ Delete: Deletes a selected range within the waveform and inserts silence.
Creating a mix All audio signals run together in the Mixer. The Mixer view shows a channel strip for each input, output and Audio Track Component which grants access to volume and pan position. You may additionally manipulate the audio stream with any kind of VST effect and energyXT's EQ.
To add an insert effect to a channel: i. In the Mixer view, select the name entry of an effect in the Browser window and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it into the insert effect's section. The insert effect is instantly active and will be displayed in the insert effect's section. ii. With the mouse button depressed, drag the FX level control up and down to adjust the wet / dry mix (ratio of effect signal to original signal).
œœ Make sure to adjust the effect's wet / dry mix to output only the effect signal, in order to render the FX level control of energyXT effectively. iii. Click on the power symbol to bypass the effect quickly for monitoring purposes. In our example we added energyXT's Multi Effect as an insert effect to the Guitar track. To add a send effect to a channel: i.
Shaping sound with the equalizer EnergyXT features an internal equalizer for each channel. With the equalizer you can shape the sound of a signal. You may use the equalizer to eliminate unwanted signal frequencies (e.g. floor noise) or to shape the overall sound character of a signal. For each of the four available frequency bands, you may choose one of five different filter types: ◊ Low Shelf (LSH): Shelving filter for low frequencies. It is used to adjust all frequencies below a set corner frequency.
To use a submix group: i. In the Mixer view, select Add group to add a submix group. ii. From the context menu of the channel, select Rename to give a reasonable name to the Group. A Group channel appears next to the Audio Track channels which is routed to the audio output Component by default. iii. From the drop-down list of an audio channel's output, check the name of the Group to route the channel to the newly created Group. You may choose multiple output channels for your channels.
Setting up your hardware See the application example below on how to make the necessary connections. Active Monitor Speakers (e.g. BEHRINGER MS40) Audio Interface (e.g. BEHRINGER FCA202) BAL/UNBAL OUT FIREWIRE 1 ANALOG INPUTS FIREWIRE USB DAW MIDI Controller (e.g. BEHRINGER BCF2000) USB Laptop To calibrate the Mixer and your DAW controller: i. Click on the MIDI indicator next to the metronome symbol to open the MIDI controller mapping dialog. ii.
iii. Grab and drag the control element that you want to calibrate with the mouse (e.g. level fader). The Controller map dialog displays the parameter's name. iv. Turn the control of your DAW controller up and down to assign the control of your hardware to the control element of the software. v. Repeat steps iii.-iv. for every control you want to control remotely. vi. Click on the keyboard symbol in the Controller map dialog to finish the calibration. vii.
Multiple track recording EnergyXT allows simultaneous recording of different signals on multiple tracks. There are a lot of applications where you may want to record several musicians at once, may it be in a concert situation or just two instrumentalists playing in your studio, and thus need the possibility to record multiple signals independently. EnergyXT smoothly supports this kind of workflow and simplifies things due to its portability.
To create mono Audio In Components: ii. Choose one input channel as Input for each Audio In Component. To create stereo Audio In Components: iii. Choose two input channels as Input for each Audio In Component. iv. Via the context menu, rename all Audio In components such that the names correspond to the respective input channels for easy reference (e.g. [1] Audio In, [2] Audio In, ... [7+8] Audio In).
v. Switch to the Sequencer view. vi. Create the necessary number of Audio Tracks (one track for mono and stereo signals) to record each input signal on a dedicated track. E.g. for an 8-channel audio interface: Six tracks for mono signals, one track for a stereo signal. vii. Choose Mono as the record format for mono signals or Stereo as the record format for stereo signals for each Audio Track. viii. Choose the correct Audio In Component from the drop-down list as the input for each track.
ix. Select all tracks by holding Ctrl and clicking on the name of each track consecutively. x. Click on the Record symbol in the transport controls to start the multi-track recording. In our example we mapped the eight input channels of an audio interface to six mono and one stereo Audio In Components.
Chapter 5 MIDI Sequencer Target user: MIDI-Producer, Songwriter, DJ EnergyXT provides a wealth of functionality for editing and manipulating MIDI data to create state-of-theart music compositions. There are several applications that might come to one's mind: Nowadays, the most common application would be to create a complete virtual studio setup solely with software plug-ins which is energyXT's major domain.
MIDI setup with hardware tone generators In this application, the sound is solely being produced by external hardware tone generators (e.g. sound sampler and sound module). The MIDI keyboard is needed to input MIDI data. What you need ◊ a master keyboard with integrated tone generation to input and playback MIDI data or a controller keyboad plus external tone generators. Active Monitor Speakers (e.g.
MIDI recording step by step The following section will show you how to make use of the full MIDI potential of energyXT. On the basis of a typical recording application, all important aspects of MIDI-based music recording are covered. œœ Before you follow the instructions below, make sure you've already set up your computer and energyXT properly. See chapter "Setup" for details. Each paragraph heading outlines the main steps you need to undergo to do a typical MIDI recording.
Adding Instrument Tracks The common track type for MIDI data in energyXT is the Instrument Track. It either carries only the recorded MIDI events for an external tone generator or it immediately hosts the tone generation by means of a virtual VST instrument likewise. To add an Instrument Track: i. In the Sequencer view from the menu, choose Track > Add New > Instrument Track.
ii. Choose an entry from the Program drop-down list in the info panel to select a preset sound for a virtual instrument, if available. In our example we added energyXT's proprietary Synthesizer to the Lead track and the Crystal VST instrument to the Bass track. Routing MIDI inputs and outputs On each Instrument Track you can record MIDI data either from a single physical MIDI input device or from several MIDI input devices (energyXT2.5 only).
Creating additional MIDI In Components for multiple input devices By default energyXT creates a single MIDI In Component to which all active physical MIDI input devices are assigned. That means, the MIDI signal of each device is merged in the MIDI In Component, which in most cases is useful. However, if you have several MIDI input devices connected you may want to individually assign these to different tracks.
iii. In the context menu of the existing MIDI In Component, check another physical MIDI input device. Now each Audio In Component is assigned to a different physical MIDI input device. iv. Repeat steps i.-ii. for other MIDI input devices you want to use. v. From the context menu of a MIDI In Component, choose Rename... to name each Component properly.
Configuring the metronome If you want to record several instruments one after the other it is critical that you perform your music as exactly as possible to a given song tempo when recording. In energyXT you can use a metronome which, like its real counterpart, produces an audible click, the beat. To set the tempo: i. Input the song tempo in the field next to the transport controls. To configure the metronome: i. Right-click on the metronome icon. ii.
v. Click on the Record button in the transport controls to start the recording. If you have activated the metronome's Count-In, the recording starts with the secondly counted bar. vi. Perform your music. EnergyXT creates a Part for your recording. vii. Click on the Stop button in the transport controls to stop the recording. If you have predefined a record range, the Part length always matches the range. Otherwise, the Part ends as soon as you stop the recording.
Some performances can not be quantized with a single quantization setting properly. That's because they include too many diversified note values. In this case you need to apply different quantization values to individual passages. To quantize individual passages: i. In the Sequencer view, double-click on the track you wish to quantize to enter the edit view. ii. Resize and zoom into the track to see all recorded notes.
vii. Select the remaining notes that are close to the grid lines and select them. viii. From the menu, choose Part > Quantize. In our example we applied an eighth quantization to the Lead track Part, did the same with selected notes of the Bass track and quantized the remaining notes of the Bass track Part to sixteenths. Auto quantize You may also use Auto quantize to quantize your performance automatically. i.
iii. Choose a quantization value and activate triplets. iv. From the menu, choose Part > Quantize. All notes will be dragged to triplet quantization values forming a shuffle rhythm. In our example we applied an eighth triplet quantization to the Hihat track. Overdub recording Overdubbing is a technique to add a musical performance to a previously recorded one. You can use this recording method to create harmonic lines without actually having to play the harmony at once.
iv. Place the song position pointer at the end of the slice you wish to re-record. v. From the menu, choose Part > Split to isolate the slice. vi. Select the isolated Part (Slice) and choose Part > Delete to delete it. vii. Set the recording range in the bar line to the range of the now missing slice. viii. Place the song position pointer at the beginning of the recording range. ix. Redo the recording. The newly created Part replaces the previous one. x.
œœ Make use of all Part edit functions (e.g. Split, Glue, Copy, Move, Resize) to create reusable patterns. In our example we created a ghost copy of all Parts from bars 1-5 and moved this pattern to bars 9-13. Editing MIDI events An Instrument Track can host all types of MIDI events. A MIDI event results from either a recording or manually created entries.
Note events are intrinsically tied to the Velocity controller which determines the volume of each note. You can alter each entry by clicking on the event and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it up and down. A new Velocity entry is created with every new note event. Editing other controller data All controller data appear as individual entries in the timeline. Unlike the Velocity controller they are not tied to note events. Due to a low zoom factor, very frequently recorded entries (e.g.
Editing MIDI envelopes (energyXT2.5 only) Instead of painfully placing and editing individual events to form a curve you can alternatively use MIDI envelopes to define a curve shape for a controller. With MIDI envelopes, it is easy to continuously change parameters over time. That's because they are created with only a few nodes which are automatically connected and form a curve. A curve can be freely bend from linear to exponential.
iv. Use the mouse to drag the first node to the bottom (minimum value) and the second to the top of the edit window (maximum value). v. Create another node at an intermediate value to slowly lower the Expression. vi. To hold the reduced Expression level, create another node. vii. Add a final node at the end of your Part to create a fade out.
viii. Curve the fade in / out by dragging down the circle in between the nodes with the mouse to create a smooth fade. These are the basics on how to work with envelopes. From this example you may go ahead and create your own envelopes for various parameters (e.g. Pan, EQ, VST effect controls). In our example we created a MIDI envelope for the Expression controller in the Lead track.
Remote controlling Instrument Tracks Parameters of virtual instruments can be mapped to hardware controls of a MIDI controller unit or a master keyboard. Many virtual instruments already react on the basic MIDI controllers, e.g. ModWheel, PitchBend, Aftertouch and Expression, to name just a few. Refer to the user manual of your VST plug-in for details. Other parameters / controls can be freely mapped to react to specific MIDI controllers.
v. Turn the control of your DAW controller up and down to map the control of your hardware to the control element of the software. vi. Repeat steps iv.-v. for every control you want to control remotely. vii. Click on the keyboard symbol in the Controller map dialog to finish the calibration. viii. Alter the values in the Range fields to restrict the control range for a more precise input, if needed.
ii. From the Browser window, select the name entry of a sample file and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it onto the Drum Track. iii. Repeat step ii. for all samples you want to include in your Drum Track. iv. In the bar line, set a recording range in which you want to create a Drum Part. v. Double-click into the Drum Track to create a drum Part. vi. Set the grid snap function to the note value at which you wish to place the drum note events. vii.
viii. Click on the triangle next to each drum sample's name to edit the volume (Vol), panorama (Pan) or filter frequency (Cutoff) parameters for each note. You can use the same edit functions for the parameters of the Drum Sampler as for the velocity controller of an Instrument Track. See chapter "Editing note events" for details. Alternatively, you can set the parameters in the Drum Sampler's user interface to fixed settings if they need not change with every note.
Using track Arpeggiator and Shuffle quantization The Arpeggiator (energyXT2.5 only) Each Instrument Track in energyXT2.5 features a powerful MIDI Arpeggiator which you can use to easily create a variety of different rhythmical patterns. With a monophonic input, the Arpeggiator simply repeats the played note and thus creates a rhythmical pattern. With a polyphonic input, the Arpeggiator can either do the same with all notes being played back as a chord or a sequence.
To define a shuffle amount for an Instrument Track: i. In the Sequencer view, select a track for shuffle quantization. ii. Select a note value. iii. Adjust the amount of quantization. Freezing tracks (energyXT2.5 only) Tracks can be frozen to free up system resources. A frozen track will be played back like an Audio Track with all VST instruments disabled to save CPU power. As long as a track is frozen, it does not reflect any changes that you made unless you unfreeze it again.
Chapter 6 Virtual FX Rack Target user: Guitarist / Keyboardist, Sound Designer Due to the versatile concept of energyXT, it is possible to use the software also for building virtual effects racks. This application has become very popular over the last years for reproducing the sound of a guitar effects rack. With energyXT, you can use whatever VST effect you can buy or find in the net and create your very own personal effects rack.
Guitarist / Sound Designer studio setup You need: ◊ a 2-channel audio interface with microphone and guitar / line inputs or ◊ a 2-channel audio interface with line inputs and a mixer Microphone (e.g. BEHRINGER B-2 PRO) Electric Guitar INPUTS MIC IN 1 2-ch Audio Interface (with microphone and guitar / line inputs) GUITAR IN 2 LINE OUT USB Active Monitor Speakers (e.g.
You will learn how to use virtual effects plug-ins (e.g. the built-in Guitar Amp), interconnect all plug-ins to build an effect chain and output or record the signal to an amp or Audio Track. Later on, you may take this demo Project as a starting point and tailor it to your needs. Keep track of the demo Project's progress by reading the text after each diary icon. Creating a Project Before you can make a recording you have to create a Project.
To make the connections for a serial effects chain. i. In the Modular view, select the name entry of a VST compatible effect or energyXT's Multi Effect from the Browser window and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it into the Modular view. The plug-in will appear as a Component which is automatically connected to the Audio Out and the MIDI In Components. ii. Repeat step i. for every effect you want to use. iii. Break the connection of the Audio In Component to the Sequencer Component.
To make the necessary connections for a parallel effects chain. i. In the Modular view, select the name entry of a VST-compatible effect or energyXT's Multi Effect from the Browser window and, with the mouse button depressed, drag it into the Modular view. The plug-in will appear as a Component which is automatically connected to the Audio Out and the MIDI In Components. ii. Repeat step i. for every effect you want to use. iii.
Setting the input signal level Setting a proper signal level for the input signal is very important in order to avoid annoying artifacts. If the level of the signal is ◊ too high, the signal will distort. ◊ too low, the signal probably will be covered with noise and result in falsified sound. You can adjust the level of the input signal in the Mixer view. The Mixer is organized in channel strips.
Remote controlling effect parameters Parameters of virtual effects can be freely mapped to hardware controls of a MIDI controller unit. To map the parameters of a virtual instrument to a MIDI controller unit: i. Click on the MIDI indicator next to the metronome symbol to open the MIDI controller mapping dialog. ii. Click on the keyboard symbol to use the MIDI learn function. EnergyXT now waits for a control element to be moved. iii.
vi. Repeat steps iv.-v. for every control you want to control remotely. vii. Click on the keyboard symbol in the Controller map dialog to finish the calibration. viii. Alter the values in the Range fields to restrict the control range for a more precise input, if needed. In our example we mapped the parameters Chorus-Fine and Chorus-Rate of a chorus plug-in to controllers CC74 and CC71.
Chapter 7 Appendix Using energyXT on multiple systems With energyXT you can work on different computers. For this purpose you should keep the application on a removable device (e.g. flash drive) together with all necessary files: Keeping Project data together If you want to transfer Projects to another computer, it's essential to keep the Project data and all embedded audio files in a single location.
