Introduction

How long have you wanted to:

•

Control your (software) synthesizer without having to use virtual faders, and having to look at a

computer screen and use a mouse?

•

Use the full capability of your computer’s built-in soundcard?

•

Have realtime control for synths that have limited or no realtime controls

•

Could the control possibilities of your master keyboard be improved?

Now it’s time to discover new uses for real time control by using one of the Doepfer Pocket Devices

•

The Pocket series are devices, that everyone could use, such as for the computer in the studio or for live use in professional and semi-professional situations.

What can the Pocket devices do? They can assign each of the 16 controls to individual Midi events. This Midi event controlled can be

selected from a list of preset options (giving over 16,000 different event combinations), such as controllers, mono and poly aftertouch, pitch bend, RPN/NRPN, XG-SysEx, GS/XG controller, program change and even note on/off events.

These events can be from any of the 16 Midi channels, or the master channel (which allows easy selection of the controlling MIDI channel). The permutation of possibilities is therefore up to 17 (channel options) * 16,000 (event combinations), which is over 250,000 possible combinations! The low cost of the pocket devices allows for applications where multiple pocket unit's can be used chained together.

The difference between Pocket Control, Pocket Fader and Pocket Dial is the type of control:

•

is equipped with 16 rotary potentiometers

•

is equipped with 16 slide potentiometers (faders)

•

is equipped with 16 endless rotary encoder (sometimes called alpha dials)

Special features of Pocket Dial compared with Pocket Control / Fader

and

transmit absolute MIDI data in the range 0...127, i.e. the visible position of the controlling element (rotary knob, fader knob) corresponds to the MIDI data sent by the element in question. The only difference between Pocket Control and Pocket Fader is the type of potentiometer. Pocket Control uses rotary potentiometers, Pocket Fader slide potentiometers.

is able to transmit absolute or relative MIDI data. In the first case Pocket Dial transmits absolute MIDI data in the range 0...127. Because of the type of controlling elements (endless encoders) there is no visible feedback concerning the transmitted data. In the second case Pocket Dial transmits only relative increment/decrement messages and does not "know" the absolute value that is generated in the device controlled by Pocket Dial.

User's Guide Page 5

If absolute MIDI data transmission is used (e.g. MIDI controllers) the device or software controlled by Pocket Dial should be able to transmit the new controller data to Pocket Dial after a preset change (if e.g. the sound was changed). The new data is used by Pocket Dial as starting value for the parameter in question

. This enables a jump-free adjustment of parameters.

The absolute values generated by Pocket Dial can be stored in the non-volatile preset memory of Pocket Dial and are used if a preset is called-up later.

If relative MIDI data transmission is used only increment / decrement information is sent by Pocket Dial. Different types of inc/dec messages are available as there is no MIDI standard for inc/dec of certain controllers available so far.

Attention: Only devices that features the data feedback or inc/dec control should be controlled by POCKET DIAL. For other applications we recommend Pocket Control or Pocket Fader.

If you need a Midi controller that is able to generate free programmable Midi system exclusive messages (SysEx) the devices of the Pocket series are not suitable. In this case we recommend

(64 rotary potentiometers) or

(24 faders). These devices allow the

transmission of free user definable Midi strings including SysEx messages. The main application of Pocket Dial is be the control of different Midi equipment, especially software

synthesizers. In this case Pocket Dial is placed in front of the computer screen so that the absolute parameter data and their changes can be seen immediately at the screen.

The features of Pocket Dial at a glance

•

16 high quality endless rotary encoders (alpha dials), manufacturer: ALPS

•

4 banks that can be selected very fast via 4 buttons and LEDs (thus 64 "virtual" controllers are

available)

•

32 presets (with 4 banks each, i.e. 128 presets altogether), selected via DIP switch at the rear panel

•

Program change button (as long as this buttons is pressed the encoder below no 8 transmits

program change messages for fast preset changes of the unit controlled by Pocket Dial

•

Master channel button (for fast adjustment of the MIDI master channel)

•

24 detents/pulses per rotation, i.e. the data change is +/-24 per turn (if the encoder is turned slow)

•

Acceleration function, i.e. the data change increases if the encoders are turned faster

Connections

Pocket Dial - Rear View

Power Supply

The Pocket Dial does not have a built-in power supply. Instead it uses a plug-in type external power supply (DC adapter). The connector is labelled

9V DC 100mA

. The primary reason for this feature is the fact that line voltages and plug types vary considerably from country to country. Using a plug-in external supply the Pocket Dial can be used anywhere with a locally purchased power supply, thus keeping the cost down.The Pocket Dial is switched ON by plugging the supplied AC adapter into a wall outlet and connecting it to the appropriate jack on the back of the case. There is no separate ON/OFF switch. The Pocket Dial includes an AC adapter for 230V mains supply with a European type mains plug. We

recommend to use only the power supply that is supplied together with the Pocket Dial. In countries with different mains plug types or voltages a suitable power supply has to be purchased locally by the user. The power supply must be able to deliver a voltage of 7V to 12V (not stabilized), as well as a minimum current of 100mA. The connection polarity is positive inner (see the sketch near the power supply socket). Although the Pocket Dial has a built in protection diode for protection against incorrect polarity, the Pocket Dial can still be damaged by using an incorrect adaptor, so only use an approved adaptor and avoid using multi-polarity type adaptors with voltage level and polarity switching, as inadvertant settings can cause problems.

MIDI

Connect the MIDI OUT of the Pocket Dial to the MIDI IN of the device controlled by Pocket Dial (e.g. software synthesizer, sound generator, sequencer). At this output appear the MIDI data generated by Pocket Dial. If the MIDI input is wired too the Pocket Dial merges the incoming data with it’s own data, so the MIDI OUT is a data merge of MIDI IN and data generated by the Pocket Dial. There is no use for a separate MIDI thru with this type of device. If incoming MIDI data do not appear at the MIDI probably the MIDI Thru is switched off (only possible by the editor software). In this case the Pocket Dial has to be reprogrammed using the editor program with MIDI Thru switched On !

The connection of the MIDI IN socket is required only in these cases:

•

For

data feedback

to set the new starting values after a preset change of the device controlled by Pocket Dial if absolute MIDI control data are used (e.g. MIDI controllers)

•

merge

any MIDI data (e.g. from a keyboard) with the data

generated by Pocket Dial

•

User's Guide Page 7

If none of these items applies the MIDI IN socket remains unconnected. Note that if extremely large Sys-Ex dumps are passed through the Pocket Dial then it is advisable not to

move any Pocket Dial knobs whilst this transmission is taking place, as the merge abilities of the Pocket Dial were not intended to work whilst this kind of intense transmission is taking place.

If multiple Pocket devices (Pocket Dial/Control/Fader) are being used then the MIDI connections can be chained together so that all the Pocket devices produce one composite data from the last MIDI out in the chain.

Operation

Power On

The Pocket Dial is switched ON by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet and connecting the DC output cable of the adapter to the appropriate jack on the rear panel of Pocket Dial. There is no separate ON/OFF switch.

After

power on

the four LED's at the upper left side light up one after another ("running light"). Then the first LED turns on indicating that

bank #1

is selected. If this does not take place the power

supply used is defective, unsuitable or has the wrong polarity. After power on the

4 presets

defined by the DIP switch setting are

transferred into the four

bank memories

, the

MIDI master channel

and the

Thru mode options

are called up from the non-volatile

memory.

LED Display

Under normal operation the LEDs indicates

MIDI in activity

, and also

MIDI out activity

when moving the knobs on the Pocket Dial. Thus the LEDs can be used to check the basic functions of Pocket Dial, i.e. to test if actually MIDI data are received or transmitted.

The LED's are also used to display certain conditions:

•

Which of the four banks is selected and consequently - .

•

Which of the four buttons can be used to call-up a snapshot (i.e. transmit the 16 absolute values

corresponding to the 16 controls, works only if absolute MIDI data are transmitted)

•

Master channel mode for adjusting the MIDI master channel of Pocket Dial

•

Program change mode for transmitting program change messages with control #8

•

Storage mode for storing the present absolute values of the 16 controls non-volatile in the memory

•

MIDI In error

Details about these subjects follow in the next chapter "Functions of the buttons".

Functions of the buttons

The setting of the different operation modes takes place with the four buttons with assigned LEDs labeled Bank 1 to 4 at the left upper side and the two buttons labeled CHN and PRG (no LEDs) at the right upper side.

These buttons are used to

(1)

select one of four Banks.

(2)

trigger a Snapshot.

(3)

store the 16 absolute values of the currently selected bank in the non-volatile memory

These buttons are used to

(4)

select the Master Channel Mode for adjusting the MIDI master channel of Pocket Dial.

(5)

select the Program Change Mode to transmit MIDI program change messages with control knob #8.

(6)

clear the Error State if necessary (e.g.

triggered by a MIDI overflow at the MIDI input)

(1) Selecting a new bank

Operate briefly the button of the new bank to be selected. All four LEDs light up briefly while the new bank is selected. As soon as only the LED of the new selected bank turns on the 16 new MIDI messages of the new bank are assigned to the 16 controls. The LED will light up permanently until another bank is chosen.

(2) Triggering a snapshot

Operate briefly the button of the bank that is already selected. This triggers a snapshot, i.e. the present 16 values corresponding to the 16 controls are transmitted to the MIDI output.

(3) Storing the present absolute values

Hold the button of the bank that is already selected down for at least one second and keep it held down until the 4 LEDs light up inverted, i.e. the LED of the currently selected bank turns off and the remaining three LEDs turn on until the button is released. The present values of the 16 controls are stored into the non-volatile memory as soon as the button is released.

User's Guide Page 9

(4) Adjusting the MIDI master channel

To set the MIDI master channel, hold the button labeled CHN at the right side and keep it held down. The LEDs of bank 1 and 2 will light up (do not let go of the button until the required value has been selected). In this mode the control knobs become channel selectors, and do not transmit the normal control data. To select a channel, simply move one of the control knobs that relates to the channel required (to set channel 5, move control knob 5). As soon as one of the knobs is moved all LEDs turn off to indicate that the new master channel is adjusted. If you accidentally move the wrong knob, just move the correct one, as it is the last knob moved that determines the actual MIDI master channel set. The new master channel is stored into the non-volatile memory as soon as the CHN button is released. After the next power on this channel will be used as MIDI master channel.

The master channel is used to select which channel the Pocket Dial will transmit on when using relevant presets. In some presets (such as the MIDI volume - preset 0) each knob is assigned to a different channel, whilst other presets have all knobs on the same channel, it is on these presets that the master channel is used. The master channel is also the channel which the Pocket Dial will receive and transmit MIDI program change data on.

(5) Transmitting MIDI program change messages

To transmit MIDI program change messages, hold the button labeled PRG at the right side and keep it held down. The LEDs of bank 3 and 4 will light up (do not let go of the button until the desired program change messages has been sent). In this mode the

control knobs #8

is used to transmit program change messages on the MIDI master channel, and does not transmit the normal control data. The knobs 1 ~ 7 and 9 ~ 16 have no function while the PRG button is held down.

(6) Clearing an error

As soon as the Pocket Dial recognizes an

MIDI overflow

(too much data in one go)

all four LEDs turn

(i.e. error display). To clear an error, press one of the 6 buttons. The error display indicates that the merge capacity of Pocket Dial was exceeded or that SysEx messages destined for Pocket Dial could not be processed because they were sent too fast. In both cases probably wrong or incomplete MIDI data have been received by Pocket Dial and/or transmitted to the MIDI output of Pocket Dial. To avoid errors the transfer of the MIDI data should be repeated at a lower transmission rate.

Functions of the DIP switches (rear panel)

The eight rear panel DIP switches determine the start-up preset, i.e. the number of the preset that is called-up after power on. This preset and the three subsequent presets are assigned to the 4 banks of Pocket Dial.

The settings can be looked upon as a binary number where each switch can be either on or off, this allows up to 256 numbers to be selected from the eight DIP switches. The switch is referred to ON or 1, when set towards the top panel, and referred to OFF or 0 when set towards the bottom panel:

•

On = 1

, when set towards the top panel

•

Off = 0

, when set towards the bottom panel

Only seven of the switches are used to select one of the 128 presets. The eighth switch is not used at present (as of fall 2001) and has no functions so far, but it is good practice to leave it in the OFF position, as a future update may make use of this switch position.

The switches are numbered one to eight on the switch block itself, when relating the switch positions to a binary number, then the least significant bit is towards the middle of the Pocket Dial (or to the field for the serial number) and numbered 1 on the switch. It is switch number 8 that is not used.

The factory shipped default setting is Preset number 0, which is all switches off (towards bottom) which is defined as MIDI Volume across all MIDI channels.

The listing on the next page lists all the presets that are shipped in the Pocket Dial, note that the switch settings are shown with the least significant bit to the right (as would normally be shown with a binary number), so note the switch numbering which is eight to the left and one to the right, this relates to the switch position when looking at the rear panel of the Pocket Dial. If holding the Pocket Dial, you tip the unit up at the back to look into the DIP switches that way, you will be looking at the DIP switches the other way with one to the left and eight to the right, when doing this remember that the switch order will be the reverse. The list of presets shows the switch position split into two groups of four, as this should help reading the switch code.

At first sight the adjustment of the DIP switches may look a little bit complicated. But normally you will not have to change this setting very often. Rather the DIP switch setting is used to load the favorite 4 presets into the bank memories after power on.

In operation you may change the preset even with incoming MIDI program change messages provided that these are sent on the MIDI master channel of Pocket Dial. But this adjustment is volatile, i.e. after the next power on the preset defined by the DIP switch setting is loaded.

Of course one may change the preset with the DIP switch too, e.g. as no suitable MIDI device for transmission of program change messages is available.

Changing the preset with the DIP switch is indicated by a short lighting up of all four LEDs. During this moment no incoming MIDI program change messages are recognized.

Controlling Pocket Dial with incoming Midi messages

Some functions of Pocket Dial may be controlled with incoming MIDI messages. The MIDI output of the device generating these messages (e.g. a computer) has to be connected to the MIDI input of the Pocket Dial. The LEDs of Pocket Dial may be used to check if MIDI events appear at the MIDI input of Pocket Dial.

The following functions can be controlled with incoming MIDI messages:

a) Changing the preset

takes place with an incoming

MIDI program change

message provided that

the MIDI channel matches with the

MIDI master channel

of Pocket Dial. The number of the new

preset corresponds to the program change number received. For example prg # 35 selects preset #

35. Pay attention that there are two different modes of counting: 0 ~ 127 or 1~128. In this manual the counting mode 1 ~ 128 is used. If the device that transmits the program change messages uses the counting mode 0 ~ 127 one has to add 1 to obtain the corresponding preset number of Pocket Dial.

The 128 non-volatile presets of Pocket Dial cannot be edited with the Pocket Dial itself. Rather a external

editor

has to be used to generate the SysEx messages required to program the presets of Pocket Dial. Two types of editor programs are available: The Pocket Dial editor for PC that can be downloaded for free from our web site

www.doepfer.com

. (PC with MS Windows 95/98/2000

required). The OEM version of

Emagic

's universal editor

Sounddiver

can be purchased at a small extra charge together with the Pocket Dial (CD with both version for PC and Mac, including all adaptions for Doepfer devices). OEM means that this version of Sounddivers works only in combination with Doepfer devices and is not a full version of the program. For details please refer to the appendix. The presets are available as MIDI standard files that can be processed by MIDI standard applications (e.g. record and play back with MIDI file players or sequencers).

Presets

As mentioned several times Pocket Dial features 128 presets that can be selected with the DIP switch at the rear panel or with incoming MIDI program change messages on the MIDI master channel of Pocket Dial.

You will find a detailed specification of all presets on our web site www.doepfer.com in case that the information in this manual is not sufficient for your application.

Preset management

Pocket Dial has available 128 presets. Preset means in

this connection the data set in the memory that contains the information about the assignment of the 16 controls to MIDI messages including the stored 16 absolute values for these controls.

Four of these presets can be selected quickly with the bank buttons at the top of the case. The DIP switch at the rear panel resp. the incoming MIDI program change message is used to define the preset number that is assigned to bank button 1. The 3 succeeding presets are assigned to the bank buttons 2 ~ 4.

Example: The DIP switch is set to preset number 42. With the four bank buttons the presets 42 (bank button 1), 43 (bank button 2) , 44 (bank button 3) and 45 (bank button 4) can be selected.

The memory management of Pocket Dial is very similar to Pocket Control and Pocket Fader. The main difference are the four bank buttons that enable a fast selection of four succeeding presets. Consequently 64

virtual

controls are available with Pocket Dial. This additional feature makes sense only

Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö

Page 14

User's Guide

with the Pocket Dial as the encoders allow a jump-free data control. The new data can be calculated relative to the last value of the encoder in question. For Pocket Control or Pocket Fader this would not be possible as the potentiometers transmit absolute values leading to parameter jumps when a new preset with different assignments of the controls to MIDI messages is selected.

List of presets (detailed)

In the following you will find a more detailed list with explanations of all the presets that are shipped in the Pocket Dial. Presets not mentioned in this manual already may be used in the Pocket Dial you received. Please look at our web site

www.doepfer.com

for the current state of the factory presets.

New presets will be developed, and these will become available free on our web site too. The name of a presets tells the coarse function of the preset. You also will find the information is the

controls are assigned to fixed MIDI channels or to the MIDI master channel of Pocket Dial. Especially for those devices that do not recognize one of the inc/dec messages in the latest column the

term feedback is specified if the parameters of the preset (e.g. MIDI controllers) can be updated with suitable incoming MIDI data. In this case the device controlled by Pocket Dial has to transmit the new data after any change (e.g. if the sound of the device was changed). Please look into the manual of your device or software controlled by Pocket Dial if this applies. If your device does not support this feature the feedback/update will not work! If you are not sure, please contact the manufacturer of the device. We (Doepfer) cannot give information if the device X by the manufacturer Y has this feature available. For more details please refer to the appendix.

Example: If a knob is assigned to MIDI controller #17 on MIDI channel 5 any incoming MIDI controller #17 data on channel 5 will be used as new starting value for this knob. The incoming controller message updates the value for this knob.

The presets 1 ~ 64 are very similar to those of Pocket Control and Pocket Fader. Normally only the feedback/update feature was added.

Preset 2 Panorama Controller 10 channels 1- 16

feedback

Preset 3 Cutoff Channel Controller 74 channels 1- 16

feedback

Preset 4 Resonance Controller 71 channels 1- 16

feedback

Presets 1 ~ 4 use a single controller type, with each knob relating to it’s corresponding MIDI channel, this allows full control of 16 parts within a multitimbral sound generator, or realtime mixing in sequencer automation.

Preset 5 Volume/Pan Controller 7/10 channels 1- 8

feedback

Preset 6 Volume/Pan Controller 7/10 channels 9- 16

feedback

Preset 7 Cutoff /Resonance Controller 74/71 channels 1- 8

feedback

Preset 8 Cutoff/Resonance Controller 74/71 channels 9- 16

feedback

Presets 5 ~ 8 use two controllers, one across the top row of knobs and the other across the bottom row. With Preset 5, the top row is MIDI controller 7 (Volume) with the MIDI channel corresponding to the knob number, whilst the lower row is MIDI controller 10 (Pan) on the same channel as the knob above it, hence knob 9 is channel 1, knob 10 is channel 2 etc. Preset 6 follows the same idea except the MIDI channel is channels 9 to 16, so the actual MIDI channel relates to the lower knob numbers. Preset 7, again follows the same idea as Preset 5 except the top row is MIDI controller 74 (Filter Cut off ) and the lower row is controller 71 (Filter Resonance), and finally Preset 8 is the same as Preset 7 except the channels are 9-16.

Preset 9 general controllers Controllers 0 - 15 master channel

feedback

Preset 15 general controllers Controllers 96 - 111 master channel

feedback

Preset 16 general controllers Controllers 112 - 127 master channel

feedback

Presets 9 ~ 16 are general controller sets, which transmit on the Master Channel. Where the receiving MIDI device can be programmed to any controller it can receive, these presets maybe the only presets needed, although preset 9 is perhaps best avoided for general use as it includes controller 0 (could trigger MIDI program bank changes) and controller 1 which is the modulation wheel, although of course there may be instances when MIDI controller 1 is required, such as adding a modulation wheel function to a keyboard (such as a digital piano). Preset 13 also needs to be used with caution, as controller 64 is defined as the sustain/damper pedal function, and most devices will always receive this controller as Damper or Hold.

These presets enable the 14 bit control using high and low byte of a controller. The difference of the controller numbers for high and low byte is always 32, e.g. controller 8 and 40. If one of these presets is selected the Pocket Dial checks if the two controllers of a 14 bit controller pair are assigned to two knobs of Pocket Dial. If this applies a possible overrun or underrun of the least sigificant byte (LSB, i.e. controller 40 in the example) is considered for the calculation of the most significant byte (MSB, i.e. controller 8 in the example).

The following two presets are examples for applications of the NRPN controllers in connection with the inc/dec controllers. So far no device is able to recognize this message type. But from our point of view this would include a lot of advantages. We think that the reason is that so far no lo-cost controllers like Pocket Dial have been available and we hope that the manufacturers will take into consideration this very flexible relative controlling idea.

Troubleshooting

There will be times when the Pocket Dial does not seem to be working as expected, before suspecting a faulty Pocket Dial, the checklist below should help resolve the problem. Though there is no separate power indicator on the Pocket Dial at least one of the LEDs is always active.

•

Is the Pocket Dial powered up correctly? After power on the four LEDs at the upper left side have to

light up one after another ("running light"). Then the first LED has to turn on. When the CHN button is held down the LEDs 1 and 2 have to turn on (master channel adjust mode), when the PRG button is held down the LEDs 3 and 4 have to turn on (program change mode). If this does not happen check the power supply used: right voltage (7V to 12V DC not stabilized), minimum current 100mA, polarity: positive inner (see the sketch near the power supply socket)

•

Are suitable cables used for the MIDI connections. Do not use standard 5 pin DIN cables but only

cables that are approved for MIDI.

•

Do not mix up MIDI In and MIDI Out. MIDI Out of Pocket Dial has to be connected to MIDI In of the

device controlled by Pocket Dial. MIDI In of Pocket Dial has to be connected onyl in certain cases (refer to page 6 for details). MIDI Out of the device controlling Pocket Dial has to be connected to MIDI In of Pocket Dial:

Correct: Device 1 MIDI Out → Device 2 MIDI In Correct: Device 1 MIDI Out → Device 2 MIDI In Wrong: MIDI Out → MIDI Out Wrong: MIDI In → MIDI In

•

Moving one of the knobs will flash the LED above button of the active bank. The LED does not flash

if the knob has not been assigned a function or if the uppermost or lowest data is reached already.

•

Is the Pocket Dial set to the correct preset? Maybe one of the DIP switches has moved accidentally

or a MIDI program change has set a new preset up. Check if the DIP switch settings correspond to the desired preset. There may be DIP switch settings that refer to an empty preset. In this case the Pocket Dial will generate no MIDI data at the output and the LED will not flash!

•

Changing the preset with the DIP switch has to be indicated by a short lighting up of all four LEDs.

•

Is the Pocket Dial set to the correct MIDI channel? Many presets make use of the Master Channel,

there is no way of checking what the Master Channel is set to (other than monitoring the transmitted data), so the best procedure here is to set the Master Channel again to double check if it is correct. Refer to page 8 about how to adjust the Master Channel.

•

The active LED has to flash when MIDI data are sent to the Pocket Dial. Otherwise the MIDI cable

used might be unsuitable or there is a mistake in the wiring of the devices.

•

If incoming MIDI data does not appear at the MIDI output though the LED displays MIDI In activity

probably the MIDI Thru is switched off. This can be done only by the editor software. In this case the Pocket Dial has to be reprogrammed by the editor program but with MIDI Thru switched on !

•

If one of the knobs will not respond though one has selected a suitable preset maybe the uppermost

(127) or lowest (0) data was sent already. E.g. if you turn a knob clockwise and reach the uppermost data value (127) continued turning will cause no more MIDI data as the last possible value was already sent. So change the turning direction if a knob seems to respond no longer (applies only for absolute data type, relative inc/dec data have no upper/lower limit).

•

Problems with MIDI loops: remember that the Pocket Dial normally merges it’s own data with MIDI

input data. This can cause a MIDI loop: e.g. MIDI Out Computer → MIDI In Pocket Dial → MIDI Out Pocket Dial → MIDI In Computer = MIDI loop. So you have to make sure that no MIDI loop appears, e.g. by turning off the MIDI Thru mode of the Pocket Dial (possible only with editor software) or the MIDI Thru of the device controlled by Pocket Control (e.g. computer). In some devices this function is called MIDI echo on/off.

•

If all four LEDs turn on the Pocket Dial has recognized an

MIDI overflow.

To clear an error, press one of the 6 buttons. The error display indicates that the merge capacity of Pocket Dial was exceeded or that SysEx messages destined for Pocket Dial could not be processed because they were sent too fast.

•

Pay attention that the device controlled by Pocket Dial is in the right mode (e.g. XG mode for XG

messages).

Rotary encoders

The controls used in the Pocket Dial are so-called rotary encoders (sometimes called alpha dials or incremental encoders or endless encoders) in contrast to Pocket Control or Pocket Fader. These devices are equipped with 16 rotary potentiometers (Pocket Control) or slide potentiometers (Pocket Fader).

An encoder has no absolute position like a rotary or slide potentiometer rather it only outputs incremental data (increment or +1 / decrement or –1) when it is operated. The encoders used in the Pocket Dial feature 24 detents/pulses per rotation, i.e. the data change is +/-24 per turn. The change from one position to the next can be felt with the fingers as the encoders used are equipped with the click feature. A full turn (i.e. 360 degrees) corresponds to +24 resp. –24 detents and consequently ±24 data difference. But the Pocket Dial has built-in acceleration function, i.e. the data change increases (±2,

3, ±4 ....) if the encoder is turned faster. Only if the encoder is turned slow a full turn corresponds to

24. The required time to cover the full range from 0 ~ 127 is about ½ second due to the acceleration function when the knob is turned fast.

Jump-free parameter change

Thanks to the endless rotary encoders used in pocket Dial jump-free changes of parameters become true provided that some requirements are met. To realize jump-free changes there are 2 fundamental solutions:

1. Pocket Dial transmits absolute data In this case Pocket Dial transmits absolute MIDI Control change data. After a program change of the

device controlled by Pocket Dial (e.g. a SoftSynth) parameter jumps will occur. Example: The value for filter frequency was 95 for the "old" sound and is 23 for the "new" sound. If one

operates the control for this parameter there will be a jump to 94 or 96 depending if the control was operated up or down.

This problem can be solved if the device controlled by Pocket Dial outputs the new values (i.e. MIDI controllers) for all parameters after a sound change. Pocket Dial receives these values and uses them as new starting values thus causing no longer parameter jumps.

Example: The value for filter frequency was 95 for the "old" sound and is 23 for the "new" sound. After the sound change the device controlled by Pocket Dial outputs the new value 23 for this parameter. Pocket Dial receives this new value and uses it as the new start value for the corresponding knob. If one operates the control for this parameter Pocket Dial will transmit 24 or 22 depending if the control was operated up or down. This means that there is no parameter jump as the data transition is 23 -> 24 or 23 -> 22.

But it is essential for this type of control that the device controlled by Pocket Dial transmits the new MIDI controller data after a sound change. Pocket Dial will receive these data and check out if one of the controller numbers assigned to the 16 encoders matches with one of these controller numbers. If this applies the controller data value will be used as the new starting data for this controller. Pocket Dial and the device controlled by Pocket Dial have to be connected via MIDI in both directions:

MIDI Out of Pocket Dial -> MIDI In of the device controlled by Pocket Dial MIDIOut of the device controlled by Pocket Dial -> MIDI In of Pocket Dial

Actually Pocket Dial does not only check the 16 controller of the current bank but even the controllers of the remaining 3 banks. Thus actually 64 controls (16 in each bank) are updated.

Even 14 bit controller update is possible. In this case the Pocket Dial checks if a 14 bit controllers pair exists, i.e. if the two controllers of a 14 bit controller pair are assigned to two knobs of Pocket Dial. If this

applies a possible overrun or underrun of the least sigificant byte (LSB, i.e. controller 40 in the example) is considered for the calculation of the most significant byte (MSB, i.e. controller 8 in the example). It is essential that the MSB and the LSB controllers are arranged one below the other.

Example: controller 1 (i.e. MSB Modulation)

→

knob 1

controller 33 (i.e. LSB Modulation)

→

knob 9

The factory presets 81 ~ 84 contain some examples for 14 bit controllers. In any case 2 knobs are used: one for the coarse value (MSB) and one for the fine value (LSB). In the MIDI standard the controllers 0~31 and 32~63 are defined as 14 bit controller pairs (with 0~31 = 32 MSBs and 32~63 = 32 LSBs).

2. Pocket Dial transmits Increment / Decrement Data In this case Pocket Dial does not "know" the absolute value of the parameter but transmits only the

information data increment (abbreviation: inc) or data decrement (abbreviation: dec). a) Unfortunately there is no MIDI message available "increase data of MIDI Controller XX" or "increase

data of MIDI Controller XX". There is only a general Data increment (Controller #96 decimal, resp. #60 hexadecimal) and Data decrement message (Controller #97 decimal, resp. #61 hexadecimal) available. The third byte of these messages is - as far as we know - not used so far. In the MIDI spec we found no statement concerning this byte. Remember: each MIDI control change message consists of 3 bytes. We want to solve this problem by "hiding" the controller number, to which the inc/dec is related to, in the third byte of these messages. This modified inc/dec messages would enable to increase or decrease the value of a specific MIDI controller. We hope that other companies will agree to this proposal and adjust their software/hardware to this amendment of the MIDI Data increment/decrement message (controller #96/97). The "new" MIDI messages are:

Controller Increment: BnH 60H xxH Controller Decrement: BnH 61H xxH

with n = MIDI channel (0...F) and xx = MIDI Controller No (00...77H, 78H...7FH is reserved for Channel Mode Messages). H means hexadezimal values.

The factory presets 89 ~ 96 contain all possible 128 inc/dec messages of this type in groups of 16. The factory presets 97~101 use this type of controllers too but with modified order for the program Crusher-X (refer to chapter www.crusherx.com).

b) The second possibility is the usage of non-registered parameter messages (NRPN) in connection

with the inc/dec controller described in a). The basic procedure for altering a parameter value is to first send the non-registered parameter number corresponding to the parameter to be modified, followed by the data increment or data decrement message. This is a MIDI standard procedure and described in the MIDI 1.0 specification. The parameter number consists of LSB (= MIDI controller 98D / 62 H) and MSB (= MIDI controller 99 D / 63 H, D and H means decimal resp. hexadecimal). The data increment message is the MIDI controller 96 D / 60H and the data decrement is the MIDI controller 97D / 61 H. Such a message consists of 3 controller messages, i.e. 9 MIDI bytes. A typical complete NRPN message looks like this (all values are hexadecimal):

B0 63 7F B0 62 15 B0 60 XX

In this example the first three bytes are the MSB controller of the NRPN. The data for this message is 7F (often used with AWE Soundblaster devices). The second three bytes are the LSB controller of the NRPN. The data for this message is 15 ( = cutoff frequency for AWE devices). The last three bytes are the controller message for data increment. XX is the increment value (e.g. 04 for a data increase of 4, i.e. adding 4 to the current value). The XX value is sent in the signed bit mode (see next paragraph).

The factory presets 105 and 106 contain examples for this message type. The presets 105 und 106 control the same parameters as the presets 17 and 18 resp. 23. But these presets use absolute data. So far (as of fall 2001) no device is able to recognize this message type. But from our point of view this type of parameter control would include a lot of advantages. We think that the reason is that so far no lo-cost controllers like Pocket Dial have been available and we hope that the manufacturers will take into consideration this very flexible relative controlling idea in the future.

c) For some little time another type of relative parameter control is used by some programs or devices.

In this case relative data is derived from an - in the true sense - absolute data. Certain MIDI message combinations are interpreted differing from the MIDI standard. As this message type is not included with MIDI specification there is no standard available (like the message suggestions in paragraph a and b suggested by Doepfer).

For example Native Instrument's REAKTOR uses the following type of relative parameter control. The normal MIDI controller messages are read in this way:

controller data value (third controller byte) = 63 → decrement one step controller data value (third controller byte) = 65 → increment one step

Pocket Dial is able to generate these data types as well. The presets 85~88 contain some examples. We call this message type "relativ binary mode".

Some hardware mixers transmit data in the so-called "signed bit mode" or "two's complement mode". Preset 108 ~ 111 shows "signed bit mode" and 112 ~ 115 "two complement" examples.

Pocket Dial features supports all these message types. Consequently the number of devices that may be controlled by Pocket Dial will significantly increase in the future.

crusherX-Live! featuring Pocket Dial!

Welcome to a new world of sound synthesis! Welcome to the worlds first real-time multichannel, granular, morphing vapor synthesizer! Use your Pocket Dial to interact live with the famous shareware crusherX-Live! Please feel free to download the demo on www.crusher-x.de or use the attached demo version.

In cooperation with Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH crusher-X implements special MIDI Inc-/DecControllers that allows you to control nearly every crusher-X interaction element via your Pocket Dial.

crusher-X is a shareware program whose powerful vapor synthesis algorithm enables you to synthesize very complex and cool waves. crusher-X does distill and transform sounds quite radically. Based on traditional granular synthesis, crusher-X can be used as a synthesizer or as a versatile effects unit. You can create sounds with the internal oscillators or samplers as well as real-time stereo input sound (e.g. a microphone). Internal feedback loops allows self-oscillation within crusher-X! Multichannel ASIO Outputs allows extreme impressive sound installations and multichannel compositions up to 10 independent channels.

A overall multidimensional morphing system morphs the sound between each parameter changing (e.g. on Loading, on Undo/Redo, on MIDI-Event, on turning the pocket dial knob etc.). This creates clouds of sweeping, shifting and graining sounds. The morph time can be ranged from 1ms up to 1 hour! Try it … and hear the result! It’s more than sound, it’s more than music, it’s really fun! To set up the demo for using with pocket dial crusher-X presets follow the following steps:

1. Run the crusher-X installer that you find on www.crusher-x.de or the CD and follow the installation instructions

2. Start the crusher. You may like to set up the Direct-X or ASIO Engine (take a quick look at the help)

3. Load the file “pocketdial.crx”. This set up the MIDI-Controller Tab matching the pocket dial crusher-X presets.

4. Set up the following checkboxes (if you use the crusher the first time they will be checked correctly): Uncheck:

Edit | Options | Load/Undo|Change on Loading/Undo/Redo | Midi Settings

Check

: Crusher | MIDI Setup | General | Hardware Support

5. Also check, that you have defined a Midi-In device, which is connected with pocketDial and also a legal Midi-Out device (otherwise the IncDec-controller maybe will not work )

6. Close the doors and windows, order a pizza, turn up your amps, start the crusher-X engine, run thru the demo Loadlist and turn the pocket dial knobs! Fasten your seatbelts! No warranty for becoming addicted ;-)

Please register on www.crusher-x.de if you like that experience and need more features.

Additional technical information

Merge capacity

In case of a high data density at the MIDI input the Pocket Diall will not be able to add it's own data as the MIDI transmission rate is limited and cannot be increased by the Pocket Dial. To avoid this the MIDI In data should be reduced to a lower transmission rate.

Scanning rate of the encoders

The scanning rate was adjusted to a value that allows a good fine resolution for slow movements but no plugging up of the MIDI transmission for fast movements. Besides most of the MIDI devices would not be able to process such high data rates without problems.

Data feedback

Pay attention to two restrictions concerning data feedback for absolute data:

•

Only MIDI controllers

(control change messages) are processed, i.e. no pitch bend, after touch,

NRPN, XG SysEx strings can be updated. Please refer to the preset descriptions for details.

•

For the feedback function all controllers must have the

same MIDI channel assignments in the 4

presets

(bank 1~4) that have to be updated. This means that the MIDI channel for knob 1 has to be the same in all 4 presets, the MIDI channel for knob 2 has to be the same in all 4 presets and so on. To simplify matters we recommend to use the same MIDI channel for all controllers (e.g. the master channel) or to assign the MIDI channels 1~16 to the 16 knobs. If the feedback/update function seems not to work correct please check if the same channel assignments are made in the 4 presets to be updated. In the factory presets this is not true in every case as we wanted to keep the first 64 presets compatible with Pocket Control and Pocket Fader (e.g. presets 5,6,7,8). If you want to use one of these preset sets please modify the MIDI channel assignments with the editor program so that they correspond to the above remarks.

Memory for absolute values

As described in the chapter 'Functions of the buttons' the 16 absolute values of the 16 knobs can be stored in the preset – if desired. When a preset is called up (by DIP switch changing of incoming MIDI program change message) this value is transferred into the 16 work buffers of the 16 knobs. But the data are not yet sent via MIDI. If this is desired one has to trigger a snapshot (see chapter 'Functions of the buttons') or to operate the knob(s) in question. This was made intentionally as it might be desirable to select a new preset without transmitting the new absolute data but to update the new data from the device controlled by the Pocket Dial after the preset selection.

Of course the storage of absolute data has no meaning if relative data (inc/dec) are used. The storage of absolute data may be used to obtain a small sound preset management. In this case the

presets contain the same assignments knobs to MIDI controllers and only the stored absolute values are different – provided the number of available presets (128) is sufficient for this application.

No storage of absolute data in preset 128

The set of absolute data in preset 128 is used for internal purposes and cannot be used to store absolute data. If this part of the memory is read out (e.g. with an editor program) of a snapshot is triggered always the value 127 appears.
