4.9 Full Sized USB connector
Connect the ORCA PAD 16 to your computer with a USB cable via this port. The computer’s USB port provides power to your ORCA PAD16.
This connection is also used to send and receive MIDI data to and from your computer.
5. Using The ORCA PAD16 With Your DAW
A MIDI sequencer will allow you to record, play back, store and edit MIDI data. Although hardware sequencers exist, we will focus on the
more commonly used software sequencers in this manual. Examples of popular DAW are CubaseTM, LogicTM, Ableton Live TM and so on,
although there are many different sequencing applications available for your computer. In order to use your ORCA PAD16 with your
sequencer, you need to set up the sequencer software so that your ORCA PAD16 can be recognized as your DAW’s MIDI input device. You
need to choose a MIDI output device that is capable of making sound when MIDI data is sent to it. This may be a soundcard on your
computer, a VST instrument or a sound module connected to a MIDI port which is in turn connected to your computer. Please consult your
sequencer’s user manual for more information on how this is done. In this manual, section 3.2.2 “Using The ORCA PAD16 With Your
software” details how your ORCA PAD16 will appear in the device listing of your sequencer.
With your ORCA PAD16 set up to communicate with the sequencer, data will go into the sequencer and will be routed to a virtual
synthesizer within the sequencer software or sent to an external sound module via a MIDI output port. The virtual synthesizer or external
sound module will turn the MIDI data into audible sounds. You can then record the incoming MIDI data and edit your performance using
your sequencer. We will have some more detailed MIDI mapping operations for different DAWs provided separately.
