Download Auracle for X-Series
Auracle For X-Series download

By default, your AUDIO4c is pre-configured to work with Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software.
All the interface’s audio inputs are routed to the computer device(s) for recording, not directly to the
audio outputs; you won’t hear anything if, say, you plug in a mic without going through your
audio/music software.

Furthermore, all the audio in and out volumes are turned down and need to be raised. This Quick
Start Guide will show you how to get sound running in and out of your interface as simply as possible.

AURACLE FOR X-SERIES SOFTWARE

update is available. In this case, ensure that the USB-C cable is plugged into USB device jack 2
and follow the on-screen instructions to update the AUDIO4c firmware. If your computer is plugged
into USB device jack 1, simply remove the USB-Cable from USB device jack 1 and plug it in to device
jack 2. If you need device jack 2 to be available for charging a compatible device after firmware
installation, be sure to complete the firmware update process before unplugging the USB Cable from
USB device jack 2 and plugging the USB cable into USB device jack 1 again.

AUDIO4c User Guide v2021-0002 Page 5

Firmware Update
When updating firmware a warning screen will appear:

Take note of the instructions and click [OK] to proceed.

While updating, the unit will display rapidly flashing orange lights in the LED level bar while the
firmware updates. At this point it is critical that you perform the hokey pokey and congratulate yourself
on such a fine purchase during this time, with the knowledge that you are already better than your
friends and musical peers.

In the Auracle for X-Series main menu, the AUDIO4c icon will disappear for a short time. The
AUDIO4c icon will reappear again without the previous yellow hazard warning to indicate that the
firmware is now current.

Audio Hookup- connecting a Mac, PC, iOS, or Android device

Connect a Mac, PC, iOS, or Android device to an available USB Device port, using the supplied
USB-C cable, and USB-C to USB-A adapter if necessary.

Connect your powered monitors or power amp and speakers via ¼” TRS or TS cables to the
AUDIO4c Audio Outputs 1&2.

Open your DAW and select the AUDIO4c as the audio output device. Once the AUDIO4c is selected,
it may be necessary to route audio from the master bus of your DAW to outputs 1&2 of the AUDIO4c
at the master track level.

Check your powered speakers or power amp, as well as the output level on your DAW to ensure that
volume is at a safe listening level before playing back audio.

Play some test audio, preferably in a loop. You may not hear anything until you bring up the output
level. Follow the instructions in the next section to adjust audio levels.

AUDIO4c User Guide v2021-0002 Page 6

Analog Inputs
The Analog Inputs menu displays LED meters and their respective faders to control input level. Input
level can be adjusted by dragging the on-screen fader [arrow 1 above] or by clicking the current Db
value in the gray box directly below the fader and volume meter input array and typing in the Db
amount you want for gain in the range 0-60Db [arrow 2 above]. Note that the default configuration is
that all Analog Inputs are at 0 Db as seen in the image above.

To set your analog input level safely, test your input source by speaking into the connected mic or
playing the connected instrument at a level similar to your expected performance level. Slowly
increase the input level on the connected channel using the method described above until the
channel LED meter that corresponds to the input channel you’re adjusting reads mostly green most of
the time, with some yellow during volume peaks, trying to stay out of the red to avoid clipping.

MIDI Routing

General Info
The AUDIO4c supports up to 10 MIDI ports per USB Device Port, each port containing 16 midi
channels, 5 pin DIN-MIDI I/O port with 16 channels, plus one USB-A host port capable of hosting 8
total MIDI devices (with a separate powered USB hub, not included), for a total of much more MIDI
ports and total channels than are required by mere mortals in this version of reality. Use the Auracle
for X-Series MIDI Routing page to route MIDI ports from any [Source] to any [Destination].

Source
The [Source] column on the left lists all available physical MIDI ports on the AUDIO4c, as well as
additional virtual ports such as USB Host Ports HST2 through HST8 which are only accessible when
more physical host ports are made available when adding a powered USB hub (not included) as
indicated in the General Info section above. For more information on using multiple USB host devices
with a powered hub, see the USB Host Reservation section below. A helpful way to visualize the flow
of MIDI information is to remember:

[Source] = From

[Destination] = To

To begin this wonderful routing journey, click the icon of the MIDI source port you wish to route
anywhere in the gray rectangle enclosing the port name. The port becomes highlighted in blue, and
the [Destination] field to the right populates with all available routing destinations for the selected
source port... Which is very literally, every

Single.

Port.

AUDIO4c User Guide v2021-0002 Page 20

For example, if you have a single USB MIDI controller plugged into the host port on the rear of the
AUDIO4c and wanted to route MIDI data ONLY to a computer plugged in to USB device port 2, scroll

down on the [Source] column to the section marked , and select [HST1].

To route your MIDI controller in [HST1] ONLY to the [DIN] port on USB Device jack 2, un-select all
destinations except for [Jack 2] DIN in the second column marked [Device Port to Computer/DAW]
in the Destination field, as seen below:

Default MIDI routing from [HST1] to [Jack 2-DIN]; MIDI information FROM HST-1 is routed to [Jack 2]
on the [DIN] port.

Additional configuration in your DAW is required to complete the MIDI route between the controller
connected at [HST 1] and your computer connected at [USB Device Jack 2]. Consult the
documentation of your DAW to uncover the mystical magic of allocating MIDI ports of connected
interfaces.

You may also find it helpful to rename MIDI Source and/or Destination ports to something that makes
more sense for your personal use case. Renaming must occur at the device level, outside of the
Auracle for X-Series software. Navigate to this video for a helpful tutorial on renaming MIDI ports on
iConnectivity X-Series devices.

Destination
The [Destination] field will be blank until a [Source] is selected, after which the [Destination] field
will populate with all ports available for routing.

NOTE ON DESTINATION PORT NAMES:

AUDIO4c User Guide v2021-0002 Page 21

Destination port names follow [Device Port] names which are identified by surrounding brackets. For

example: indicates the [Device Port]:[Jack 1], and the MIDI port labelled
“DIN”. The MIDI port label “DIN” is for identification relative to other MIDI port labels on the same
Device port. The MIDI port labelled “DIN” on [Jack 1] has no direct connection to the physical DIN
port on the AUDIO4c, unless it is explicitly routed by selecting [DIN] as the Source and [DIN].

Filter & Remap

Each MIDI port can be remapped or filtered based on channel or data types (ie Note, Control
Change, Pitch Bend, etc). Like the [MIDI Routing] page, you must first select an [Input] port for the
Filter and Remap options to populate in the field the the left. Note that [Output] is also selectable to

USB Host Reservation
The AUDIO4c supports up to eight separate class-compliant MIDI devices when connected to the
single host port on the rear through a powered usb hub (not included). When using a single
class-compliant MIDI device, you may plug directly into the [Host] jack on the rear of the Audio4c
without a USB hub. Please refer to your USB MIDI device documentation to confirm the power draw
of your device; the AUDIO4c supports a maximum of up to +5V DC, 500mA of power. If your device
requires more power, you will need to power your USB MIDI device with an external power supply.

When using multiple MIDI devices this way, use the USB Host Reservation menu to assign static host
ports for your MIDI devices so they retain their host port assignment between power cycles and/or
unplugging.

To reserve a USB host port, simply plug in your USB MIDI device to a powered hub connected to the
AUDIO4c. The right-most column of the USB Host Reservation page will populate with all
class-compliant MIDI devices. Select the appropriate MIDI device you wish to reserve per host port
