Installation

< back | next >

Now that you have all that background behind you, the next thing to do is to install Noatikl!

Windows

Installing Noatikl on Windows

  1. Save the noatikl_win32.zip file to your Windows desktop
  2. Use Windows Explorer to look inside the file (or use a tool like WinZip).
  3. Run the noatikl_win32_setup.exe file, and complete the installation!
  4. You may be notified that Setup/Uninstall is trying to launch e.g. C:\Windows\system32\regsvr32.exe. The installer needs to do this to register the DXi plugin.
  5. If you want to use the Noatikl VSTi, you might need to tell your Sequencer program to scan the folder c:/Program Files/VstPlugins (or equivalent on your machine); this is where the Noatikl installer puts the Noatikl VSTi file, which is called noatikl_VSTi_win.dll).

Configuring your Windows computer so that Noatikl can route its MIDI data

  1. Install and enable MIDI Yoke (or other similar software MIDI router such as Maple)
  2. Prove it all works (e.g. in Cubase)
    • Create a MIDI project
    • On MIDI track 1 enter some notes with piano roll editor
    • Set "in:" to "Not Connected"
    • Set "out:" to one of the virtual MIDI Yoke ports.
    • On MIDI track 2 set "in:" to the same MIDI Yoke port.
    • Set "out:" to be your favourite VST Synth or sampler, e.g. "The Grand SE"
    • Press transport Play, and you should hear your MIDI events being rendered through a soft synth where your MIDI events have been routed from one track to the other through the MIDI Yoke driver.

Mac OS X

Installing Noatikl on Mac OS X

  1. Save the noatikl_mac_dmg.zip file to your Mac desktop
  2. Double click on it, creating a Intermorphic - noatikl.dmg icon.
  3. Double click on the icon; this opens a folder containing an icon for the Noatikl installer - run that file to complete the installation!. If you have any old copies of the Noatikl plugin file, perhaps from early days of Noatikl before we had an installer, do please remember to remove those by hand first!
  4. You'll find the Noatikl application in your Applications folder under Finder; if you want to make it as easy to find as possible, you can drag it direct to your Dock for future easy access!

Configuring your Mac so that Noatikl can route its MIDI data

Use the following steps, which are also shown in one of the video tutorials:

  1. Enable your IAC driver
    • Click on the blue magnifying class (spotlight) icon on the top right of your Mac screen
    • Type "audio midi setup"
    • Click on the Audio MIDI Setup entry you will see listed under applications. This will run the audio midi setup application. Note: more advanced Mac users could use Finder to run this application directly, you will find it under Applications / Utilities Audio MIDI Setup
    • Click on MIDI Devices tab
    • Click on IAC Driver
    • Click on Show Info icon
    • Ensure that "Device is online" is ticked, and press Apply
  2. We strongly recommend that you download and use the excellent MidiPipe by SubtleSoft, which you can get from http://homepage.mac.com/nicowald/SubtleSoft/ ... a very useful piece of software, which most of our Mac tutorials rely on!
