• Only one d3m is in use: In this case the Midi Out socket of d3m is connected to the Midi In socket of the device to be controlled by the d3m (e.g. a computer that runs Native Instruments' B4 or Emagic's evb3, or an organ sound generator) via a suitable Midi cable.
Midi In of the third and so on. The Midi output of the last d3m in the chain is connected to Midi In of the device to be controlled by the d3m (e.g. a computer that runs Native Instruments' B4 or Emagic's evb3, or an organ sound generator) via a suitable Midi cable.
Operation The d3m is switched on by plugging the AC adapter into a wall outlet and connecting it to the appropriate jack of the d3m. There is no separate on/off switch. For operation d3m has 22 buttons available. Each button is equipped with a corresponding LED (light emitting diode).
• B4 Mode This mode is planned for the combination of d3m with the organ emulation B4 of Native Instruments. Because of the more versatile functions – compared to the EVB3 and Remote mode – the B4 mode can be used for other applications too, e.g. to control any Midi sound module via the note and progam change messages that are available in B4 mode.
Consequently this mode requires an external software that allows to assign certain functions to the Midi note messages 0-11 and 14-23 and to control the LEDs of the d3m via Midi note messages in a suitable way. For example Abletons's Live can be used for this purpose.
The programming mode is used to adjust several basic parameters of the d3m. This mode is called up when d3m is turned on while one of the 22 buttons is held down during power on. Even in this mode all LEDs light up after power on and go out from left to right. After that all LEDs with exception of number 1 light up again to indicate the programming mode.
