Connectivity

• Audio

All inTone and interFX applications require an audio interface to input and output the audio signal. The inputs and outputs can be connected to various sources or destinations:

Inputs:

• Electric guitar, bass, microphone or synthesizer
• Aux-send outputs of a mixing console
• Inserts of a mixing console
• Any part of the hardware processing chain
• Turntables and tape recorders for recording of audio used for restoration

Outputs:

• Amplifiers, combos, powered speakers, headphones
• Aux returns to the mixing console
• Inserts of a mixing console
• Any part of the hardware processing chain

Visit the Setup Examples section to learn how to use intone in various audio environments.

• MIDI

inTone and interFX Pro applications receive MIDI data from any MIDI interface connected to your computer. There are two basic types of MIDI data, handled differently.

• MIDI notes are sent to the software synthesizers opened in inTone or to external hardware synthesizers.
  

Usually MIDI keyboards or guitar audio/MIDI converters may be connected as the source of MIDI notes.

• MIDI control commands are used to adjust parameters of the processed sound or to load the complete programs.

There are many control surfaces suitable for inTone control:

MIDI foot controllers
MIDI keyboards with control knobs, buttons and sliders
Desktop MIDI controllers
MIDI control can be even received from another computer via network or via standard MIDI cables

• Computer keyboard

It is good to know that you may use:

• Full sized computer keyboard with a one-key control for the most frequent inTone functions.
• Just the numeric keypad to load programs and tracks. Use this solution if your space is limited.
