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.
