Notes: ADDAC released their first DMX output module ADDAC008 back in 2010 as part of the ADDAC001 VCC Series, now here's an updated solution to cover all DMX needs straight from your Eurorack frame in a simple fully configurable and versatile system.

Together with the ADDAC220 Dual Envelope Follower+ & ADDAC607 Crossover it becomes quite easy to create a system for sound to light reaction using both audio amplitude and spectrum translation. Such a system features "no" latency when compared to a digital implementation as all amplitude detection and spectrum separation is done in the analogue realm.

The 13 CV inputs can be assigned to any of the 512 DMX channels using the configuration webpage using Google Chrome:

There are 30 Slots for 30 different assigns each assigns defines a CV Input and a DMX channel. CV inputs can be assigned to different DMX channels

Check the User's Guide for a more in depth description.

MIDI to DMX512

When connected to a computer MIDI can be sent to directly to the DMX Network via the module.

Sending a CC message on any of the first 4 MIDI channels will control any of the DMX 512 channels.

The DMX value will be the CC Value * 2 (as MIDI resolution is 0/127 and DMX is 0/255)

MIDI CHANNEL 1 > CC 0 to 127 --> DMX CHANNEL 1 to 128
MIDI CHANNEL 2 > CC 0 to 127 --> DMX CHANNEL 129 to 256
MIDI CHANNEL 3 > CC 0 to 127 --> DMX CHANNEL 257 to 384
MIDI CHANNEL 4 > CC 0 to 127 --> DMX CHANNEL 385 to 512

This allows for precise control of any DMX fixture in the network straight from your favorite DAW and sequence any fixture's functions just like any other midi device.
Use MAX, Pure Data, Processing, Python and these can be generated, randomized....

Make sure not to overlap DMX channels that are being controlled over MIDI and over CV.
