Watch video here (coming soon)

Steps: #

1. Open Cymasphere
2. In the sidebar, open the Audio Sampler menu
   
3. Disable the built-in sampler (we want to hear audio from the DAW, not the sampler)
   
4. In the sidebar, open ‘MIDI I/O Devices’ menu
   
5. Under Output, select ‘Cymasphere’. (This virtual MIDI port is created every time Cymasphere is launched)
   
6. Open your DAW
7. Create a software instruments track and load a software instrument
   
8. Record enable the instrument track
   
9. In Cymasphere, press the cymatic buttons to generate chord voicings
   
10. MIDI should be being received by your instrument track, and you should see signal and hear audio in your DAW
    
11. Great, you should be connected! To sync Cymasphere’s sequencer with your DAW, read this article.
    
    Still not seeing signal in your DAW?
    • Ensure that ‘Cymasphere’ is enabled as a MIDI input device in your DAW
    • Ensure that your instrument track is listening for MIDI from the ‘Cymasphere’ port
    • In the sidebar, open the Voice / Channel Matrix, and confirm that each voice is being sent out of at least 1 MIDI channel. (By default, each voice sends out MIDI channel 1)
    • We recommend using MIDI Monitor (free MacOS app by snoize) to help troubleshoot MIDI signal flow
