1 Introduction
This manual describes Dicer’s MIDI communication format. This is all the proprietary information
you need to be able to control Dicer to its full potential.
It is assumed that you already have a basic knowledge of MIDI, and some appropriate software
for writing interactive MIDI applications (for example, Max for Live, Max/MSP, or Pure Data).
Numbers in this manual are given in both hexadecimal and decimal equivalents, as different
software favours the use of different conventions. To avoid any ambiguity, hexadecimal numbers
are always followed by a lower-case h.
2 Dicer MIDI Overview
Dicer is a class-compliant MIDI device. Depending on your operating system, it will appear
automatically to your computer as ‘Dicer’, ‘Novation Dicer’, or ‘USB Audio Device’.
Figure 1. Outline of Dicer, with its eight buttons.
Each unit has eight buttons (Figure 1): three small buttons, and five large buttons. Every mode dice
button is back-lit by a bi-coloured LED that can produce red, a shade of orange or yellow, or green
in a number of intensities.
All MIDI communication with Dicer is conducted using note-on, note-off, and controller change
messages. Note on and note off messages are used to convey button pushes and releases, and
controller change messages are used for configuration data.

Interconnecting Dicers
To conserve USB ports, two Dicers can be interconnected using a normal 3.5mm stereo jack-to-jack
cable. They will appear to the computer as a single device and work identically, except that the
Dicer connected directly to the USB will communicate on MIDI channels 11 to 13, and the Dicer at
the far end of the link cable will communicate on MIDI channels 14 to 16. Throughout this
document, this optional second Dicer is referred to as the Dicer, and the unit connected slave
directly to the USB is called the Dicer. master
In order to aid visual identification and detect cable problems, a single Dicer will briefly flash
amber when it is plugged into a computer. In a two-Dicer system, the master Dicer will flash red
and the slave Dicer will flash green.
Modes and MIDI channels
Although each Dicer has five dice buttons, it keeps a continual record of the status of sixty virtual
buttons, mapped to a range of MIDI notes and channels. The backlight LEDs that are shown at any
time, and the notes that are sent when buttons are pressed, represent just a small group of these.
Every time a mode is changed using one of the mode buttons, or a shift state is entered by holding
down the mode button that is currently selected, the page of notes represented by the dice buttons
changes.
There are three mode buttons, each of which can work as a shift button, accounting for 3 × 2 × 5 =
30 buttons. The other thirty virtual buttons store the complete status of the slave Dicer. This means
that the backlight and configuration status of a slave Dicer can be programmed even if it is not
connected, and that a slave Dicer can be hot-plugged or unplugged without any of its status being
lost.
Special features
It is possible to make Dicer treat all dice button presses as if they are shifted, by holding down a
mode button for longer than a certain time. This mode is called , and persists until it shift-lock mode
is cancelled by another press of a mode button. The threshold time can be configured using MIDI
messages. By default, this feature is turned off.
The mode buttons do not normally send MIDI data to the computer, and Dicer manages its mode
backlights automatically. This behaviour can be modified in two ways. If the exact mode and shift
status of Dicer is important to a certain program, the mode buttons can be configured to relay
MIDI information to keep that program informed. Alternatively, Dicer’s mode management can
be turned off completely so that it can be used as a dumb eight-button keypad. This is done by
sending the appropriate MIDI message to turn Dicer to . one-page mode
