IntroductionIntroduction

Introduction

IntroductionIntroduction

Thank you for purchasing the Plugiator, your new plug-in based sound module. A lot of effort and passion went into this product, which we are sure you will appreciate and we hope you will have as much fun with it as we have.

The Plugiator is a light weight, very portable sound module that can emulate different synthesizer architectures based on its 'Virtual Circuit Modeling' technology without relying on playback of sampled sounds.

It has been designed to model the exact behavior and deliver the same powerful sound as the originals. The Plugiator sounds like the original, and not like a recording of it - and maintains all the depth, the dynamics and the liveliness of the sound. Also allows you to tweak any parameter and easily allows you to design new sounds from ground up, if you like. When you compare its sound experience to sample based solutions, you will quickly notice the difference.

Several aspects of the Plugiator concept are new and unique. Combining the compact size and "compact" price point of sample-based sound modules with the latest in DSP technology, the Plugiator provides innovation and flexibility previously only available in the software plug-in domain.

Its open and modular architecture, combined with unique internet integration for quick browsing of online sounds allows you to capture a whole world of sounds and take it anywhere without dependency on your Computer. Use your computer for management of your sounds - but when it is time to go out, perform and have fun, you can now leave your computer at home if you like.

Great plug-in technology just became light-weight and portable!

Each plug-in on the Plugiator has 100 internal presets.

Note: Note:

Note: Creating, storing, modifying and managing preset files will be discussed later in

Note: Note: this User Manual

There are four ways of changing presets for the currently active plug-in on the Plugiator.

1. Using the „PRESET“ knob located on the control surface of the box to scroll

through presets. This will call up the corresponding preset which is stored in the Plugiator box (refer to the previous chapter "Plugiator Control Interface")

2. Changing presets via the Plug-in Manager software installed on a PC. Note

that in this case, a preset which is stored in the software will be recalled. These presets reside on your computer, and may not be related to presets stored in your Plugiator box. To quickly store a preset which you called up from the

16

Plugiator User Manual

Plug-in Manager software in the Plugiator box, use the "Store" function of the preset knob.

3. Quick pads to load presets or plug-ins you have previously assigned to that quick pad number. This will call up the corresponding preset which is stored in the Plugiator box (refer to the previous chapter "Plugiator Control Interface")

4. Changing presets from your MIDI keyboard by sending MIDI Program Change messages in the range of 1 to 100. This will call up the corresponding preset which is stored in the Plugiator box.

Note: Note:

Note: Presets which are stored in the Plugiator box are not nessesarily in sync with

Note: Note: presets listed in the Plug-In Manager Software. Changes you make in the software will not be stored in the box unless you write the bank to the Plugiator hardware. Vice versa, changes you make to the presets stored in the Plugiator box will not be available in the software unless you read out a bank from the Plugiator box. That was done on purpose to allow management of multiple banks across multiple Plugiator boxes.

The Plug-In Manager Software's built-in MIDI keyboard enables you to quickly check sounds without using an external keyboard or sequencer software - you can play notes with the computer's mouse or your computer's alphabetical keyboard.

Sets the range of the MIDI keyboard in octave steps.

Sends an "all notes off" MIDI message to the Plugiator box in order to stop all current note activities / sound. Stuck notes can easily occur when using the on-screen MIDI keyboard with your computer's alphabetical keyboard while using the mouse to operate the software. We purposely let you create such stuck notes as they may be useful when using the UI to change parameters of a sound.

When engaging a preset in the Plug-in Manager, the controller values for that preset are sent to the Plugiator - however, the preset number on the Plugiator does not change.

Similarly when engaging a preset via the Plugiator, the controller values are updated in the Plug-in manager GUI but the preset number does not change. The reason for that is that the Plug-in Manager can work concurrently with multiple Preset Banks and any preset from any bank can be engaged onto the Plugiator. Meanwhile the Plugiator can have just one active Bank (100 Presets).

The currently active Bank on the Plug-in Manager and the Plugiator can only be synchronized by using the "Read Bank from Hardware" and "Write bank to Hardware" functions.

For users who wish to use the Plugiator along with the Plug-in Manager and a Sequencing application its important to read through the following chapter.

Since both the Plug-in Manager and the MIDI Sequencing application (eg: Cubase) can not use the same driver (USB MIDI) to communicate with the Plugiator, a so called „Loop Back Driver“ must be used in order to use the Plugiator with both applications at the same time.

Several third party virtual „MIDI Loop Back“ drivers are available as freeware on the internet. One such application is LoopBe1™ available for download on

www.nerds.de/en/loopbe1.html

After installing your internal MIDI Looping software make sure that it is loaded. In the case of LoopBe1 you would see the icon in the status bar.

Now use the following setup:

1. Launch the Plug-in Manager.

2. Click on LOCAL OFF in order to allow the Plugiator sounds to be triggered only via USB.

3. Go to Plugiator Configuration and select MIDI IN as USB Audio Device & MIDI OUT as LoopBe1 (refer to the image on the following page)

4. Open your sequencing application (e.g. Cubase) and create a MIDI track.

5. For MIDI IN use LoopBe1 & for MIDI OUT USB Audio Device.

This enables MIDI signals received via USB from the Plugiator to be routed to the Plug-in Manager and then to the sequencing application.

46

Plugiator User Manual

The Plugiator Plug-in Manager will now use the LoopBe1 driver to send MIDI information to the Sequencing application (Cubase).

Your Sequencing application will be connected to the Plugiator Board. via the USB Audio driver. (refer to the image below)

Why does the Plugiator takWhy does the Plugiator tak

Why does the Plugiator tak

Why does the Plugiator takWhy does the Plugiator tak While some sample based keyboards just need to set another pointer to switch a sound (and

thereby switch sounds within a split second), the Plugiator has to load a new software program onto the DSP. It therefore may take 1-3 seconds to engage a new plug-in on your Plugiator hardware. Keep in mind that the Plugiator does not rely on playback of sampled sounds but emulates real synthesizers via software technology.

VST Plug-Ins utilize your computer’s main processor to generate their sounds, and they rely on a very specific software environment under Microsoft Windows. It would be very expensive to put such an environment into a table top synth. In contrast, Plugiator utilizes a special DSP processor which was designed for audio processing. Such DSPs are very powerful and affordable, but they have a different command set than your Intel/AMD computer so that VST code will not run on DSPs and vice versa. However, today’s floating point DSPs have significant advantages over host processors - they provide facilities which help maintaining a fantastic sound quality.
