The MIDI Interface and DIP Switch

The Nyx V2 has a relatively simple MIDI interface, as it is an improvisation synthesizer, patch bay use

is needed so as to get the most out of it.

Both MIDI IN and MIDI THRU jacks can translate MIDI input as described in the table below. Please

note that MIDI THRU will not transfer the MIDI ground. This is needed for some gear in order to work

properly. If that is the case, avoid using the MIDI THRU.

Also, the MIDI THRU can be used to send a second MIDI device to control the Nyx V2 at the same time.

Here is the complete list that the MIDI interface will handle:

- Note tracking

- Gate on/off

- Pitch wheel

- Mod wheel

- Channels from OMNI up to 6th.

MIDI CHANNELS

In order to change the MIDI channel, just use the DIP switch located on the back panel of the Nyx V2.

For the MIDI selection, we use DIP 3,4, and 5.

OMNI 3,4,5 off

CH1 5 on

CH2 4 on

CH3 4,5 on

CH4 3 on

CH5 3,5 on

CH6 3,4 on

UNISON / PARAPHONIC MODE

Nyx V2 is a Paraphonic synthesizer, but it can also be used in standard Unison (mono) mode. In order

to change between the 2 modes, use the DIP switch 2 on the back panel. By default when 2 is off, Para-

phonic mode is enabled.

When in paraphonic mode, by hitting a single key all VCOs will follow this note, but by hitting a second

at the same time, it will have OSC 1 playing the low note (Low note priority), and OSC 2 playing the last

note (Last note priority). In paraphonic mode, envelopes are always on retrigger mode. Normally, when

releasing 2 pressed notes, all sources will follow the note last pressed.

In Unison mode, only one note will follow. Every time a new note is pressed, the oscillators will track this

one (Last note priority). Envelopes on this mode are always without retrigger.

AUTOTUNING

When DIP 1 is On, the background autotuning is active. This means that whenever the AMP envelope

is at a rest, (the release stage must have ended!) the autotuning will kick in, after 1 second. This will

calibrate the scaling of the oscillators, so as they are constantly in tune. Each calibration takes about

10-15 seconds and it will run in an endless loop. After just 1 calibration, the unit is ready to play, but it

is strongly suggested that you allow the synth to warm up for at least 5 minutes before playing. When

powering up the unit an auto tune calibration will start and this will "lock" your synthesizer from all Gate

and MIDI signals for about 30 seconds.

You can deactivate this by setting DIP 1 to off position. This will force the unit to make a single auto-

tune - regardless the AMP state. For example, have OSC 1 on, set the filter to a wide open state and the

sustain and release of the AMP at max. Press a key and immediately turn the DIP 1 off. This will do a

single audible autotuning process.

The only reason to set the DIP 1 to the off position, is the need to use the synthesizer for modular pur-

poses with other gear, as when the AMP is low, the OSCs will be calibrated and they will shift in octaves.
