SA245 Kingmaker Fuzz User’s Guide 32

connect it to the computer using a USB cable. The computer should automatically recognize the

Kingmaker, which will be identified as “Source Audio One Series” in the operating system.

USB connectivity brings many benefits, such as the ability to download firmware updates to the

Kingmaker, configuration of advanced parameters, accessing new effect types created by the Source

Audio engineers, and MIDI connectivity to audio production software running on the computer.

USB-MIDI

The Kingmaker will appear as a MIDI device in your computer’s operating system. As a result, the

Kingmaker can communicate with audio production software that utilizes MIDI, such as Pro Tools,

Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and more. MIDI messages can be sent directly to the Kingmaker using the

USB connection, which allows for full automation of the Kingmaker within host software such as a

DAW. For example, the drive level can be automated by outputting MIDI continuous controller

messages from the host software to the Kingmaker via the USB connection.
