Connections
The NuRAD/NuEVI has two main ways of connecting to synthesizers and
computers. The first is using the standard DIN MIDI OUT jack, connecting using
a standard MIDI cable to the MIDI IN of a hardware synth or computer MIDI
interface. The second way is by using the Micro USB port on the side of the
NuRAD/NuEVI. Using a standard Micro USB charge/sync cable, you can connect
the controller to any computer or MIDI USB host hardware supporting class
compliant MIDI over USB. The instrument will be recognized by your system as
”NuRAD MIDI” or ”NuEVI MIDI”. Using a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, you
can even connect your NuRAD/NuEVI directly to an iPad or iPhone and use it
with soft synth apps. The Micro USB connection will also power the NuRAD/
NuEVI when the battery switch is in the back most position (battery power off).
The low power requirement of the NuRAD/NuEVI makes it possible to run it
from any computer USB port, USB charger (please use quality ones and don’t
put your instrument at risk) or even from your iPad. Mind that switching
between USB power and battery power will switch the controller off and on
again.
NuRAD model also features a of 3.5 mm mono jack for supplying breath
pressure CV to analog synths. Breath CV is 0V–5V and is produced by the
Teensy microcontroller with a fast 0.5ms update interval. Breath THR and MAX
adjustment settings do have effect on this output, as it is not coming directly
from the sensor.
NuEVI CV and NuEVI Plus has two 3.5 mm mono jacks in the front that will
provide 1v/oct pitch CV and 0–10V breath CV (Eurorack levels). Tuning settings
for the pitch CV are found in the EXTRAS menu.
