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
+15dB, 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.

i2Mmusicport Software

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 1Green
Mode 2Green (flashing)
Mode 3Orange
Mode 4Orange (flashing)
Mode 1Guitar
Mode 2Guitar (chromatic)
Mode 35-string Bass Guitar
Mode 45-string Bass Guitar (chromatic)
