Failover Settings

Failover settings are set to a standard default setting seen above but should be configured based on
the capabilities and tolerances of your specific rig.

Failover Mode Choose Dual Master to allow the PlayAUDIO1U to recognize an


automatic failover signal on both scenes. Choose Single Master to
allow automatic failover from scene A to scene B only

Trigger Mode Audio Tone: Use a tone generator like our LifeSine VST available for
download to stream a constant tone to a virtual audio channel.
Interruptions in the tone above the Audio Timeout threshold will trigger
an automatic failover.

MIDI Stream: Use a constant MIDI stream like sync or clock to stream
a failover signal for automatic failover detection. Interruptions in the
MIDI stream above the MIDI timeout threshold will trigger an automatic
failover.

Either: The PlayAUDIO1U will remain on the current armed scene as


long as either an Audio Tone or MIDI Stream is present and unbroken
above the respective Audio or MIDI Timeout values.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 11


Trigger Mode (cont) Both: The PlayAUDIO1U will remain on the current armed scene as
long as both the Audio Tone and MIDI Stream remain uninterrupted
above the respective Audio or MIDI Timeout values.

Audio Trigger Host Connected: Automatic failover will be triggered when failover is
armed and the Host (device connected to the USB DAW port) is
unplugged from the interface.
Failover Signal: Automatic failover will be triggered when failover is
armed and audio signal on the audio channel selected in the Audio
Channel menu is interrupted at or longer than the Audio Timeout
threshold.

Audio Channel Select the virtual audio channel for the PlayAUDIO1U to listen for

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 13


MIDI Routing

General Info
Different iConnectivity interfaces have differing numbers of MIDI port types and amounts, but they can
all be configured using our Auracle X software MIDI Routing page. The number and types of MIDI
port sources and destinations will depend on the interface type you are using, but every MIDI port
includes its own 16 MIDI channels (1-16). These can be used to send and receive SysEx/MIDI data to
and from any other port.

MIDI Ports & Channels


MIDI information in the iConnectivity ecosystem is organized according to three layers of separation:
physical ports, virtual ports, and channels.

Physical MIDI ports


The four types of physical ports our devices may include are listed below:

DIN MIDI Port The classic 5-pin MIDI DIN port

USB Host Port USB A port used for connecting USB MIDI controllers

USB DAW Port USB B or USB C port used for connecting USB devices eg PCs and tablets

RTP MIDI Port RJ45 port for connecting CAT5e ethernet cables

Virtual MIDI Ports


Virtual MIDI ports are logical separations of a physical MIDI port and occur in the USB Host, USB
DAW, and RTP MIDI physical ports. DIN MIDI is not a digital protocol and does not support virtual
ports therefore every port label under the DIN MIDI header in the Auracle X software also refers to a
physical port.

The USB Host, USB DAW, and RTP MIDI ports are single physical ports that encapsulate multiple
virtual MIDI ports. The example below depicts the physical RTP MIDI port routing menu. The physical
RTP port is indicated by the gray RTP MIDI header and white RJ45 icon. Under the RTP MIDI virtual
RTP MIDI ports are indicated in white with a virtual port name and clickable pencil icon for
customizing respective virtual port names.

Each virtual RTP port can be connected via an RTP network session
to other RTP capable iConnectivity interfaces, computers, or tablets &
smartphones. Special adapters may be necessary to make this
connection to some PCs, tablets, and smartphones.

The physical USB Host and USB DAW ports also include multiple
virtual ports per their respective physical ports.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 14


The image below shows the mioXM MIDI routing page with sixteen virtual ports encapsulated within
the physical USB DAW port, as well as eight virtual host ports on the physical USB Host port. To gain
access to additional USB Host ports on our audio and MIDI interfaces you will need a powered USB
hub, purchased separately.

MIDI Channels
MIDI information is further separated by MIDI channels. Separating MIDI information by MIDI
channels is useful for keeping MIDI intended for separate destinations separate from each other
when using the same virtual MIDI port. MIDI channel separation can either be handled by assigning
MIDI channels per device through that devicesʻ MIDI menu, or by using the MIDI Remap function
detailed later in this manual.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 15


How To Route MIDI
Navigate to the MIDI Routing page. On the left side of the page in the Input column select the
physical (DIN MIDI) or virtual port you wish to route. The Input port becomes highlighted in blue and
the Output field to the right populates with all available routing destinations for the selected source
port.

Select the Output port you wish to route your selected MIDI input to.

Thatʻs it.

Depending on the interface, most MIDI Inputs will be routed to one MIDI Output when first connected
or Factory reset, representing what we think is a great starting point. Please keep in mind that you will
likely need to continue routing MIDI in your DAW to complete the MIDI path between devices.

miOXM Routing from USB Host: HST 1 to DIN MIDI: DIN 1

You may also find it helpful to rename MIDI Input and/or Output ports to something more meaningful
for your personal use case.

To rename MIDI ports click the pencil icon and enter your personalized port name into the name field
and click save when done.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 16


Filter & Remap

Each MIDI port can be remapped or filtered based on channel or data types (ie Note, Control
Change, Pitch Bend, etc). Like the MIDI Routing page, you must first select an Input port for the Filter
and Remap options to populate in the field the the left. Note that Output is also selectable to the right
of input to filter or remap MIDI data at the Output port.

Feast your eyes on this video for help with the Filter & Remap section of iConnectivity devices.

Input/Output
Selects whether to modify the input to the interface or the output from the interface. The terms
referenced are from the interface’s point of view.

Filter
Disable MIDI data type per port and channel channel by selecting the appropriate port on the left
column, and by clicking the clickable square at the intersection of the desired MIDI channel (column)
and data type (row).

To filter all channels of a MIDI data type (for example, all Note On/Off messages) you may select the
clickable square in the column marked All to the far right of the grid of clickable squares.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 17


Remap

Remapping allows you to change the channel path of MIDI information per port and channel by
remapping incoming and outgoing MIDI messages to another MIDI channel of your choosing.

To remap MIDI information appearing at an iConnectivity interface MIDI input:


1. Select the Input menu item
2. Select the Input MIDI port to remap
3. In the Remap field, click the data type that needs to be remapped. A menu will appear allowing
you to choose a MIDI channel to remap the selected MIDI data type to. You can repeat for as
many MIDI data types and channels as you need to.

To remap MIDI information appearing at an iConnectivity interface MIDI output:


4. Select the Output menu item
5. Select the Output MIDI port to remap
6. In the Remap field, click the data type that needs to be remapped. A menu will appear allowing
you to choose a MIDI channel to remap the selected MIDI data type to. You can repeat for as
many MIDI data types and channels as you need to.

Clear All
Clear the current configuration.

Back button
Select to return to the main menu.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 18


Presets

Interfaces with multiple presets


If your interface supports multiple preset save and load, you
will be presented with the option to save your current settings
in one of many preset slots, or to save a single setting across
all presets.

Saving to a preset is as simple as clicking the Save Preset


As dropdown menu and selecting the preset slot(s). You will
be presented with the option to give your preset a custom
name before clicking Save to commit settings to memory or
Cancel to abort saving.

To Load a preset, click the Load Preset dropdown button and


select the preset you wish to load.

Interfaces with single presets


If your interface supports only a single preset, the Presets
page of Auracle X will present you with only two options: save
the current settings to memory or load the last save settings
to memory.

This page may appear different depending on the interface


you are looking at. In the article below you will see the
different types of memory/preset options for all our devices.
Please refer to the article to understand more about how your
hardware saves/loads memory.
How to Save | Hardware & Software

Note on saving on the PlayAUDIO12: The only way to save a preset on the
PlayAUDIO12 is to tap the rotary encoder on the front panel of the unit. All cap touch
buttons will flash amber to indicate that settings at the preset level have been saved

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 19

necessary to then load the preset using the Load Preset option.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 20


RTP / Network MIDI
RTP / Network MIDI is a great and useful solution for applications where MIDI information needs to
travel long distances between a network including RTP enabled iConnectivity MIDI interfaces and/or
computers.

While it is helpful to have some knowledge of computer networking, it is not absolutely necessary for
building and maintaining RTP MIDI networks.

For great advice on how to setup an RTP network please check out this instructional video

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 23


Notes on USB MIDI controllers and iConnectivity Interfaces
● iConnectivity interfaces allow USB MIDI controllers to be connected via dedicated USB Host
ports. The USB-A MIDI host port(s) have 2 main guidelines:

1. USB Host devices must be USB class compliant - No drivers


2. USB Host ports will only pass SysEx/MIDI data.

● Each iConnectivity interface that has a USB Host port(s) has limits regarding power
consumption by connected USB MIDI devices as well as number of available virtual MIDI ports
to populate.

● Please consult the documentation for your specific interface regarding power availability for
individual as well as cumulative power available to USB Host ports

● If your device requires more power than is available according to the power specifications of
your interface, you will need to power your USB MIDI device with an external power supply.

● When using multiple MIDI devices this way, use the USB Host Reservation menu to assign
static host ports for your MIDI devices so they retain their host port assignment between power
cycles and/or unplugging and replugging USB Host devices.

● You can connect a powered USB hub to any of our host ports to add more controllers but there
will still be a limit for each interface that doesn’t change.

● A maximum of eight controllers are supported for the following interfaces: PlauAUDIO1U,
PlayAUDIO12, AUDIO4+, AUDIO4c, MIDI4+, mio4, mioXM

● A maximum of 10 controllers are supported for the following interfaces: mio10, mioXL.

Auracle X User Guide v2023-0003 Page 24


Control Ports

The PlayAUDIO1U and PlayAUDIO12 are equipped with ¼” control ports.

On the PlayAUDIO12, the control ports are marked In and Out and can be connected with a ¼” TRS
cable to daisy-chain multiple PlayAUDIO12 units together in an aggregate device to ensure
simultaneous failover switching among multiple devices. There is no menu page for the control ports
on the PlayAUDIO12. To activate synchronous failover between two PlayAUDIO12s, connect the
primary PlayAUDIO12 Out port to the secondary PlayAUDIO12 In port using a ¼” TRS cable.

The Control In port on the PlayAUDIO12 can also be used with a footswitch such as the Boss FS-6 to
toggle between scenes A and B. Use a ¼” TRS cable to connect the In control port of the
PlayAUDIO12 to the “A & B” port of the Boss FS-6 to manually switch active scenes.

The control ports on the PlayAUDIO1U can be configured to send MIDI cc or program change
messages, as well as perform failover functions as listed below.
