ADDAC 223 CV-MIDI To DMX512 Light Control Universe

ADDAC 223 CV-MIDI To DMX512 Light Control Universe
New Pre-Order

We released our first DMX output module ADDAC008 back in 2010 as part of our ADDAC001 VCC Series, now here’s our updated solution to cover all DMX needs straight from your Eurorack frame in a simple fully configurable and versatile system.

Together with our ADDAC220 Dual Envelope Follower+ & ADDAC607 Crossover it becomes quite easy to create a system for sound to light reaction using both audio amplitude and spectrum translation. Such a system features "no" latency when compared to a digital implementation as all amplitude detection and spectrum separation is done in the analog realm..

MAIN FEATURES:
13 CV INPUTS routable to any DMX Channel  
- 5 with Attenuator & Offset knobs + positive/bipolar switch  
- 7 with Attenuator knob  
- 1 CV input only
LOG/LIN/EXP control over the DMX output curve.
MASTER FADE control knob for full blackouts.
PRESETS control knob
USB for configuration and MIDI to DMX
XLR 3Pin for DMX output
Browser configurable 
White areas in panel for user notation.

The 13 CV inputs can be assigned to any of the 512 DMX channels using the configuration webpage using Google Chrome:  
http://media.addacsystem.com/ADDAC223

There are 30 Slots for 30 different assigns each assigns defines a CV Input and a DMX channel. CV inputs can be assigned to different DMX channels

Check the User's Guide for a more in depth description.

CV to DMX

The 13 CV inputs can be assigned to any of the 512 DMX channels using the configuration webpage using Google Chrome:  
http://media.addacsystem.com/ADDAC223/

There are 30 Slots for 30 different assigns
Each assign defines a CV Input and a DMX channel.
CV inputs can be assigned to different DMX channels

These are the settings for each preset
1. DMX CHANNEL : The DMX Channel to be assigned
2. CV SOURCE : The CV source to be routed
3. RANGE MINIMUM : The DMX output Minimum value
4. RANGE MAXIMUM : The DMX output Maximum value
5. LOG/LIN/EXP : The DMX output linearity
6. CV12 -> LOG/LIN/EXP : CV Input 12 controls LOG/LIN/EXP variable
7. MASTER FADE : Channel routed through Master Fade control.
8. USER NOTATION : User Label for quick reference

There are 6 Presets to store these values for easy access.

Presets can be downloaded to and uploaded from the user's computer for easy management.

Presets can be changed, updated and uploaded in real time.

MIDI to DMX512

When connected to a computer MIDI can be sent to directly to the DMX Network via the module.

Sending a CC message on any of the first 4 MIDI channels will control any of the DMX 512 channels.
The DMX value will be the CC Value * 2 (as MIDI resolution is 0/127 and DMX is 0/255) 

MIDI CHANNEL 1 > CC 0 to 127    -->  DMX CHANNEL 1 to 128
MIDI CHANNEL 2 > CC 0 to 127    -->  DMX CHANNEL 129 to 256
MIDI CHANNEL 3 > CC 0 to 127    -->  DMX CHANNEL 257 to 384
MIDI CHANNEL 4 > CC 0 to 127    -->  DMX CHANNEL 385 to 512

This allows for precise control of any DMX fixture in the network straight from your favorite DAW and sequence any fixture’s functions just like any other midi device.
Use MAX, Pure Data, Processing, Python and these can be generated, randomized....

Make sure not to overlap DMX channels that are being controlled over MIDI and over CV.
