Stand alone mode gives you more freedom to go anywhere with your I-CubeX setup
! Configure any of the I-CubeX digitizers
with the editor and it will remember the settings after power
down.
Releases
26 August 2006: I-CubeX
editor v2.55a with updated BlueMIDI.exe (Windows)
Check the Download
page for older releases.
A MacOS version
is also available.
If you are interested in modifying the editor or if you need
sourcecode to develop software tools to deal with I-CubeX sensor data, please contact our tech support.
Improvements in this version
- Configuration save function restored
- Faster and more reliable communication with I-CubeX digitizers (noticeable
during configuration receipt/sending from/to digitizer as well as during loading from file).
- MIDI running status feature implementation.
- Minor cosmetic fixes and user interface improvements.
- A couple of somewhat peculiar bugs were resolved.
System requirements
Version 2.55a has been confirmed to run properly on Windows XP.
A digitizer with firmware v4.1 or higher is required.
Installation notes
The default browser has to be set in order to be able to click on links in the
news section at the top-right of the editor.

Features
- Mapping of sensor values to any MIDI channel voice type message ie. note-on/off,
key-pressure, control-change, program-change, after-touch (all 7 bit resolution)
or pitch-bend (12 or 10 bit resolution, but only available for at most 16
sensors - each one on a separate MIDI channel).
- Sensor data processing: inversion (increasing sensor values result in decreasing
MIDI data values), thresholds (the sensor values within the specified range
are offset and scaled to the MIDI data output range), zooming (set the sensitivity
of an input to a specific voltage range), averaging (reduce noise by averaging
over up to 16 sensor values), differentiation (output only the difference
between two successive sensor values), peak/dip detection (detect the largest/smallest
value of up to 16 sensor values over time and output it, or a preset value),
noise gate (output only when the sensor value changes more than a user-set
difference from its current value).
- Gesture recognition: gesture onset detection (through peak or dip detection
mapped to e.g. note-on event with velocity value corresponding to peak or
dip value), post-onset processing (continuous averaging and/or differentiation,
mapped to e.g. after-touch or pitch-bend messages), gesture end detection
(sensor value above/below threshold, mapped to e.g. note-off event).
- Actuator output control (Digitizer only): trigger/toggle (outputs turn on/off
with one MIDI message or turn on with one MIDI message and off with the next
one), power-up initialization (set the outputs to on/off upon power up), output
mapping (outputs respond to note-on/off, control-change or key-pressure messages),
threshold (set the MIDI value beyond which the output turns on/off.
- Configuration editing: edit, save, load, name and manage digitizer configurations, with MIDI connections testing facility, sensor
presets for easy setup, real-time viewing and recording of sensor data to
file, and LBNL, a factory reset option allows you to return all digitizer settings to its original settings when it was first
shipped to you.
