USER MANUAL ADDAC402B ADDAC System
January.2017Revision.01
INTRODUCTION
ADDAC402B MIDI Expansion allows full I/O Midi control of ADDAC402 plus access to a powerful midi interface, with:
Midi Sync:
Allows the module to synchronize with any external MIDI device's Clock, including transport messages like play, stop and continue.
CV to MIDI:
5 CV inputs (Fills 1 to 4 and Assign) to MIDI Notes and/or CC messages, the Note and CC number can be independently configured via the Configuration Menu.
These CV inputs can be sent on independent MIDI Channels, for ex: Fills 1 to 4 on MIDI Channel 1 and Assign on MIDI Channel 2.
MIDI Controller:
All panel controls (9 knobs, 4 toggle switches and 11 push buttons) can be sent to MIDI Out as CC controls making it work just like any standard MIDI controller. The individual CC numbers can be configured through the Configuration Menu.
MIDI to Gate:
All 4 Gate outputs can be controlled/sequenced from an external MIDI device.
For ex: we can configure Gate 1 to be responsive to CC 1, Gate 2 to CC 2 and so on. Everytime CC 1 gets a value of 127 Gate 1 will be turned ON, if it gets a 0 value Gate 1 will be turned OFF.
MIDI Control:
All panel controls (9 knobs, 4 toggle switches and 11 push buttons) can be controlled/sequenced from MIDI CC controls. This allows full automation of the module via MIDI.
The individual CC numbers can be configured through the Configuration Menu and includes a midi learn feature for easier configuration.
Also controllable via MIDI is the change of Presets and Modes.

MENU Description
For any MIDI Configuration the user must get into the CONFIG Menu, this is done by pressing the MODE INFO / CONFIG push button for 3 seconds, after this the screen will show the first Menu Page:
| CONFIG + ASSIGNS | Always available |
| MIDI GENERAL CONFIG | Only available with 402B expansion plugged in |
| MIDI IN CONFIG | |
| MIDI OUT CONFIG |
CONFIG + ASSIGNS:
In this page the user accesses several different settings of the 402 and can also Assign the Swing/Assign input to any parameter.
MIDI GENERAL CONFIG:
This page features most general MIDI settings
MIDI IN CONFIG:
This pages features all settings related with incoming MIDI messages
MIDI OUT CONFIG:
This pages features all settings related with outgoing MIDI messages
MENU Operation
Once in the first page the user can use the PRESET MENU / SCROLL Knob to scroll among the Menu options. Pressing the MODE INFO / CONFIG Button will enter the selected secondary Menu page. Pressing it once again will Exit the secondary Menu page back to the First page.
Once inside a secondary page the user can scroll its items with the PRESET MENU / SCROLL Knob.
To change a parameter the user can use the Skip Step 3 / MENU -- button to decrease the current value or use the Skip Step 4 / MENU ++ button to increase the current value. It's also possible to use the Steps 4 / Set Value Knob for faster changes.
MIDI Learn:
While inside a secondary menu, the user can also press the Reset 4 / MIDI Learn push button and while keeping it pressed send a CC message to the 402 MIDI IN. The module will then detect the message and set the current selected value to the incoming CC number.

MIDI GENERAL CONFIGURATION
The General Configuration Menu page allows the User to configure:
| MIDI SOFT THRU | ON / OFF |
| CLOCK TYPE | OFF / SLAVE |
| CLOCK DIV | 6 to 48 |
| REMOTE CONTROL | ON / OFF |
| CV1 MIDI CH | OFF to 16 |
| CV2 MIDI CH | OFF to 16 |
| CV3 MIDI CH | OFF to 16 |
| CV4 MIDI CH | OFF to 16 |
| CV5 MIDI CH | OFF to 16 |
MIDI SOFT THRU:
Allows any incoming message from MIDI IN to be routed to MIDI OUT, this is necessary if you're daisy chaining MIDI devices.
CLOCK TYPE:
Allows the module to operate from it's Clock Input (OFF) or to Synchronize to an external MIDI device's clock (SLAVE).
CLOCK DIV:
This is an experimental feature not found in most MIDI devices, it defines the Incoming MIDI clock division. As a standard MIDI clock comes as a flow of 24 messages every 1/4 note, this makes it sync with high efficiency. Changing this value most probably will result in unsynchronized events but can also be used to divide the incoming BPM, if set to 12 it will multiply the incoming BPM by a factor of 2 and if set to 48 it will divide the incoming BPM by a factor of 2. For ex: 120 BPM and a clock division of 12 will result in a 240 BPM, if the clock division is 48 then the effective BPM will be 60. Any value in between will make it work in very unusual and very interesting ways.
REMOTE CONTROL:
This allows for transport messages to be received and respected by the 402.
For ex: if connected to a sequencer it will Play every time the sequencer is set on Play, Stop every time the sequencer is stopped and Continue (just like Play but the sequencer is not reset to Bar number 1) every time the sequencer resumes playing.
CV 1 to 4 MIDI CH:
This allows the user to set independent MIDI Channels for each of the CV to MIDI converters.

The MIDI Channel which the 402 responds to.
MODE CHG CC:
The CC number that will make the 402 Change it's working MODE, the value will determine which mode it will change to.
PRESET CHG:
The CC number that will make the 402 Change it's working Preset, the value will determine which preset it will change to.
CLOCK CC:
Besides MIDI Sync and the Trigger Clock Input users can also clock the 402 from a MIDI CC message, so that every time this message comes in the 402 advances to the next step. This parameter defines the CC number that will trigger the clock.
PLAY/PAUSE CC:
Play and Pause actions can also be triggered from a CC message
SWING/ASSIGN CC:
The 402 Swing/Assign value can also be set from a CC message that will take control over the panel's Knob position, so that the value is coming from the MIDI Input instead of the Panel control.
GATE OUT 1 to 4 CC and NOTE:
The 402 Gate outputs can also be controlled from MIDI, here you can set individual CC or Note messages numbers that will change the state of the Gate Outputs. Users can choose using a CC number with value 127 for ON and value 0 for OFF or a Note number so that Note On will make the Gate output go ON or a Note Off to make the output go OFF.
This actions will work either if the 402 is in Play or Stop state.
MASTER RESET:
The CC number that will make the 402 reset all it's voices to their sequences Step 1.
STEPS CC - 1 to 4:
The CC numbers that will control the 402's Steps values for all 4 voices.
FILLS CC - 1 to 4:
The CC numbers that will control the 402's Fills values for all 4 voices.

SKIP CC - 1 to 4:
The CC number that will trigger the 402 to Skip a step in any of it's 4 voices.
RESET CC - 1 to 4:
The CC number that will Reset the particular 402 voice sequence to step 1.
