DRAWBAR CONTROLLER D9U
USER MANUAL
Congratulations! You are now the owner of D9X organ-drawbar
midi controller, please read this manual in its entirety and keep it
in a safe place for future reference! Have fun!
D9X is a midi controller designed with 9 drawbars, pots and
buttons to control your organ software/hardware rig.
Drawbars are controls used in musical organs for change the
volume of a particular sound component: as a drawbar is
incrementally pulled out, it increases the volume of its sound.
When pushed all the way in, the volume is decreased to zero.
First bank sends control change messages commonly used for
upper manual of a dual manual organ, second bank sends
control change messages used for lower manual; you can control
pedalboards, percussion, vibrato and chorus, rotary speaker and
you have oboard controls like volume, drive and reverb. A rear
connection for an expression pedal is provided.
Crumar D9X is the perfect companion for your organ software
and works out of the box with GSi VB3 Tonewheel Organ
simulation: just plug the provided USB cable to your computer,
it's class compliant (no drivers required) and just start playing
organ like a pro!
But D9X is more than this. You can connect it with USB to every
keyboard/expander able to recognize class compliant USB
devices and you can add those "typical controls" to your rig.
D9X can also be used with traditional MIDI devices that use the
common DIN5 connector, but needs a special "MiniJack to DIN5"
adapter. This kind of MIDI connection has become a standard in
the recent years, but there are two types. D9X uses TYPE B. When
using normal serial MIDI, use a 5V cellphone USB Charger/PSU to
power the D9Xand use your adapter for the MIDI connection.

NOTES ON ARDUINO:
What is Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware
and software. Arduino boards are completely open-source, empowering users to
build them independently and eventually adapt them to their particular needs. The
software, too, is open-source, and it is growing through the contributions of users
worldwide.
What does this mean?
This means that the heart of D9U is based on a open-source platform and the
project is open to everyone.
As a finished product, D9U works with the specifications written in this manual:
feel free to explore the world of Arduino but keep in mind that we don't offer
support on coding or hardware modifications of D9U. You can always ask the
Arduino community that is everyday growing and always very helpful!
