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 systems “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
wont 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.
