Congratulations on your purchase of the

i2Mmusicport. Please take the time to read

through this manual to ensure you get the best

from your i2Mmusicport.

Introduction

What is the i2Mmusicport?

The i2Mmusicport is the new way to connect

your musical instruments to your computer. It

combines a high-impedance audio interface

that won’t suck the tone from your instrument,

with very fast, low-latency, monophonic

MIDI

conversion that doesn’t require special pickups

to be mounted onto your instrument.

Designed particularly for guitar and bass, it

works with most musical instruments including

the human voice.

Now you can record great-sounding tracks and

play synthesizers and samplers how you have

always wanted to: by using your favourite

instrument.

Carry Ring

Because the i2Mmusicport is so small and so

useful, you will want to take it with you. A ring is

provided to allow you to attach it to a keyring so

you won’t forget it, or indeed so you can secure

it to keep it safe.

Connections

The i2Mmusicport is powered by the

USB

bus.

Simply connect one end of the supplied

USB

cable to your computer and the other to the

i2Mmusicport.

The sonuus logo will glow red to indicate that

the computer is configuring the

i2Mmusicport. You don’t need to install special

drivers because the i2Mmusicport uses

standard “class-compliant” drivers that are part

of your operating system (including Apple

OSX

and Microsoft Windows).

When complete, the sonuus logo will glow green

or orange to indicate that it is now ready to be

used.

Connect your instrument lead to the jack socket

using a standard ¼"

guitar/instrument lead.

Now, you can connect your software to the

i2Mmusicport. The converted

MIDI

data will

appear on a

MIDI

port

†

named:

“i2M musicport”

and the audio will appear on an audio input

device named:

“Hi-Z Input (i2M musicport)”

NOTE: Do not press the

MODE

button while

connecting the

USB

cable. If you do this, the

i2Mmusicport will enter a special firmware

upgrade mode and the sonuus logo will flash red.

If this happens simply unplug the

USB

cable then

insert it again without pressing the

MODE

button.

Input Gain Control

The gain of the input pre-amp can be adjusted to

optimise the i2Mmusicport for different signal

levels. The gain can be adjusted from −12dB to

+15 dB, where 0dB represents standard line level

(−10dBV).

This can be adjusted using your computer

operating system’s “volume” control, or by using

the i2Mmusicport software.

Signal Clip

When the input signal is too large, the sonuus

logo will briefly glow red to indicate the signal is

clipping. You should turn down your instrument’s

volume, or adjust the input gain of the

i2Mmusicport to avoid this happening.

Operation

Using your i2Mmusicport couldn’t be simpler:

• Connect your computer to the

USB

socket.

• Plug your instrument into the jack socket.

†. On Windows XP, the

MIDI

port may be shown as “USB

Audio Device” instead.

• Adjust your instrument’s volume control, or

the Input Gain Control, so that the clip

indicator lights only occasionally while

playing normally.

• Connect your

MIDI

software to the

“i2M

musicport”

MIDI

port.

• Connect your audio software to

“Hi-Z Input

(i2M musicport)”

• Play your instrument to send

MIDI

and audio

into your software.

Firmware Updates

To support new features and to make it future-

proof, the firmware (internal software) of the

i2Mmusicport can be upgraded. An upgrade

utility is available for both

OSX

and Windows.

The latest firmware files (with the

.sfu

file

extension) are also available on the sonuus web

site.

ASIO Driver

For Windows PC users,

ASIO

audio drivers provide

lower latency and can offer more features than

the standard windows drivers. The

i2Mmusicport

ASIO

driver is available to

download.

ASIO

is not required for

OSX

(

ASIO

is a technology developed by Steinberg

Media Technologies GmbH.)

i2Mmusicport Software

The i2Mmusicport features a very flexible and

powerful

MIDI

converter architecture with 6 zones

enabling

MIDI

to be sent on up to 6

MIDI

channels

simultaneously, with each zone being

independently configurable.

You can customise each of the operating

modes for your particular requirements and

exchange these settings with other

i2Mmusicport users.

The following sections describe the basic

operation with the default factory settings.

A separate user manual is available for the

i2Mmusicport software detailing all of the

features available and how to use them.

Hi-Z USB Audio Interface

The i2Mmusicport features a very high-

impedance (Hi-Z) audio input circuit. This

means it won’t degrade the tone of your

musical instruments, unlike typical “line” inputs

— often a problem with electric guitars and

dynamic microphones.

High quality 16-bit/48kHz digital audio can be

recorded into your favourite audio application,

or used live, for example through amp-

simulators with great-sounding results.

MIDI Converter

Modes

The i2Mmusicport has 4 operating modes

which affect how the

MIDI

conversion behaves.

Audio input is not affected by these modes in

any way, and is always active.

The current mode is shown by the sonuus logo

as follows:

The factory setting for these modes is:

Mode 1 Green

Mode 2 Green (flashing)

Mode 3 Orange

Mode 4 Orange (flashing)

Mode 1 Guitar

Mode 2 Guitar (chromatic)

Mode 3 5-string Bass Guitar

Mode 4 5-string Bass Guitar (chromatic)

i2Mmusicport™ i2Mmusicport™ i2Mmusicport™i2Mmusicport™

(

i.e.,

Green = Guitar; Orange = 5-string Bass;

flashing = chromatic.)

Modes are selected by pressing the

MODE

button (beside the logo). A short press will

toggle the mode between modes 1 and 2, or

between modes 3 and 4. A long press (2s) will

toggle between modes 1 and 3, or between

modes 2 and 4.

Note that these modes can be highly

customised using the i2Mmusicport software.

Each mode can be configured for different

instruments, and different

MIDI

zone setups.

Chromatic

The i2Mmusicport accurately tracks the pitch

of notes and outputs pitch-bend

MIDI

messages

but sometimes it is preferable to send notes

without pitch-bend information (

e.g.,

when

playing piano sounds). This can be done by

selecting an appropriate mode which has the

chromatic feature enabled.

MIDI Pitch Bend Sensitivity

For pitch-bend, the commonest setting for

most

MIDI

devices is for full-scale pitch-bend to

represent ±2 semitones, and the

i2Mmusicport factory settings are also set to

this range. To ensure your

MIDI

sounds are

correctly in tune with your instrument, ensure

the

MIDI

patch you use is also set to a pitch-

bend range of ±2 semitones.

For convenience, when the mode is changed

by the

MODE

button, the “Pitch-Bend-

Sensitivity”

MIDI

RPN

message is sent. This

allows instruments to configure their pitch-

bend range to match the i2Mmusicport. Note

that not all synthesizers support this message.

Of course, you may want to experiment with

other pitch-bend ranges for special effects.

Mode 1 Mode 2

Mode 3 Mode 4

(short press)

(2s) (2s)

(short press)

Using the i2Mmusicport software, the pitch-

bend range is fully customisable.

MIDI Hold Control

When using

MIDI

and audio together, it is often

desirable to be able to hold a

MIDI

note while

continuing to play your instrument normally. For

example, you can trigger bass notes on your

synthesizer then play over these with your

normal instrument sound.

The i2Mmusicport enables this by allowing a

MIDI

controller to act as the hold control. The

factory settings allow

MIDI

controller 4 (foot

controller) on any

MIDI

channel to be used as the

hold control. However, this can be changed using

the i2Mmusicport software.

Usage Tips for MIDI Guitar

Ensure your instrument’s level is optimally

matched to the i2Mmusicport by turning down

its volume control, or adjusting the Input Gain

Control, to ensure the clip indicator is off most of

the time. Occasional clipping will not cause any

performance problems and a high signal level

ensures that sounding notes will sustain for as

long as possible.

Slightly mute strings with your picking hand. This

helps prevent spurious

MIDI

notes when the

wrong string is touched lightly during playing. It

also improves the detection of rapidly picked

notes because notes can decay slightly faster to

give greater contrast between the new note and

the last note.

The i2Mmusicport is great for sequencing

natural-sounding bass lines but if you try to

perform very fast bass notes, you may have some

tracking issues. To avoid this, play the notes on

higher octaves where tracking is faster and

latency is lowest. Then transpose the recorded

notes in your sequencer to use as a bass line.

If your songs require very fast phrases but you

are struggling to play them accurately, record the

section at a lower tempo using the

i2Mmusicport then play it back at full tempo.

Because the phrase has been converted to

MIDI

its timbre won’t be affected by changing the

tempo, unlike the original sound.

If you find that the wrong note (or octave) is

briefly detected when you pluck a note, try the

following tips for your guitar:

• Try using the neck pick-up on guitar/bass.

• Turn down the tone control to see if this

makes a difference.

• Ensure there are no fret buzzes, and don’t

play any percussive sounds such as “slaps”.

• Use new strings.

• Slightly adjust your playing style or playing

position. Often moving where you strike the

string by a small amount can give good

results.

Remember the i2Mmusicport accurately

converts the pitch of your instrument to

MIDI

messages. If your instrument is not in tune, the

MIDI

won’t be in tune either!

NOTE: Many synthesizer bass patches are

programmed to play an octave below the

MIDI

note that triggered them. If you find your

synthesized sound is in the wrong octave, check

the patch you are using is set to play in the same

octave as the

MIDI

note. Alternatively, transpose

the

MIDI

notes using the i2Mmusicport software.
