How To: Using MIDI on the Darkglass A.D.A.M. (Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine)
As requested, I created a how to video on setting up the Darkglass A.D.A.M. to use with a BOSS ES-8 MIDI Switcher.
The A.D.A.M. has a lot of great new features. This video focuses ONLY on the MIDI controls. I'll leave the sound tweaking and demos to the other guys.

Darkglass A.D.A.M. MIDI is working! (Suite v. 4.0.3, Firmware v. 1.3, 9 March 2021)
Переглядів 1,9 тис.3 роки тому
This is a run-through on how my Boss ES-8 MIDI controller now works with the REVOLUTIONARY Darkglass Aggressively Distorting Advanced Machine (A.D.A.M.). On 9 March 2021, Darkglass provided an update to their Darkglass Suite App on iOS and MacOS. I believe that Android version is going through the approval process at this time, but you should check for yourself. In addition to new settings for ...

    Hey there, nice video but I don't get a crucial point..I'm a MIDI noob and I'm trying to understand how to recall my ADAM preset on D E F channel using and Ampero MIDI Controller. Problem is that I can't understand how they communicate: I mean, I select the channel 3 (mapped to be the D preset) and insert the value over 22 but simply nothing happens....and I don't understand why! I also don't understand if I've to set PC or CC and there's NOTHING on Dargkglass site who can provide this information!!! And I can't find either what Data correspond to what action...It's a little bit frustrating.... Could you help me, plese?! Thanks

    is it possible to turn the noise suppressor on and off with midi? (for me that would be incredibly helpful. i don't HAVE to have it, but it would be a nice ability)

    If you place Adam before the h9 in the chain, won't this be a problem for the h9 signal? how do you use the H9 in combination with the Adam and the boss es8. the clean sound of a delay is nice, but what is the response if the Adam is before the H9, what settings do you use on the Adam?

      Honestly, I never fell in love with the sound of the ADAM. I use a B7K though. The ES-8 allows you to put them in whatever order you wish, or split and send each channel to it's own pedals , and then recombine or send them to 2 separate amps. The real hero of this video is the ES-8.

    Couldn't figure out why I couldn't get my setup to work and found your video. I think my cable is the problem. Had some generic one off Amazon and it doesn't say if it's Type A or Type B. Now that I know what works for you I'm going to pick up a new cable. Thanks for the video and breaking all this down.

      They're available, but I ended up making my own cables.

    So , do I understand that I can set Multiple pre-sets with a midi controller into the ADAM/Photon ?

    You have by far the most badass bass pedalboard I've seen. I'd love to see/hear what kind of loops and patches you have on that thing. Another video?

      That’s cool, isn’t it!Microdesignum makes a DIY kit. It’s pretty easy if you are comfortable with soldering to a PC board. Go for the bypass version. I use mine with a loop switcher, but that would give me additional options. www.microdesignum.cz/EN/Products/MIDI-Modules/MIDI-Control-for-Electro-Harmonix-POG2

    Hey Steven, Do you know if the ADAM is entirely digital, or is it an Analog pedal with only Digital controls? + awesome vids for the ADAM (Y)

    • @StevenSimmonsJr
      @StevenSimmonsJr 3 роки тому

      Darkglass uses the term "distortion algorithms" - that definitely refers to digital code. The cabsims are code. I don't know about the EQ circuits and compressor, but I'd guess that it's the same. Some will like that, some won't. But, so far, I'm happy with the tones I'm getting, which are VERY different from what I see Darkglass pushing in their demos.

    what type of cable do you use to connect the MIDI? 3.5mm jack to ? please make a tutorial how to do it

    • @StevenSimmonsJr
      @StevenSimmonsJr 3 роки тому

      I usually make my own cables. This time, I happened to have a cable with 3.5mm plugs. I cut that in half, giving me the ability to make 2 patch cables. Switchcraft makes a right-angle 5-pin DIN MIDI connector that I like - Model #05DL5MX. That can be rotated to nearly any direction you need. I’m currently editing a new how-to video - that is how to program the ADAM, not build a cable. I think that’s what you meant.
