1. OVERVIEW

1.1 Welcome

Congratulations on the purchase of your Mine S. We are sure that you will have great satisfaction from the

use of our innovative products. Mine S is a simple, intelligent and customizable controller. Its key feature

is modularity, which will allow you to interact with your software, devices and processes, simplifying your

workow and leaving you focused on your work.

1.3 Rear View

On the back of Mine S there are, from left to right, (1) a power switch, (2) a power connector, (3) a high-

retention USB type B connector, (4) one MIDI OUT and (5) one MIDI IN connector. There is also (6) a slot

where to put the extractor keys and (7) a Kensington security slot.

1.4 Power Supply

The power switch allows you to turn on the Mine S after connecting it to the PC via the USB cable (inclu-

ded in the package). The power connector allows you to integrate the power supply of the Mine S.

Normally, Mine S is powered via the USB cable which allows furthermore the data connection with the

PC. However, in certain cases, it may be useful to integrate with an external power supply (optional). Being

Mine S a modular controller it is possible that, using only the USB cable as power supply, there is not enou-

gh current to satisfy, for example, the needs for maximum brightness if you choose to use several modules

with LEDs (Pad or Double-Pad). There may be also insucient power if the PC connected to Mine S has

USB 2.0 or earlier. In these cases, the use of the external power supply will restore the proper operation.

1.5 USB Connector

The high-retention USB connector allows the connection of the USB cable supplied with the PC. This con-

nector is designed not to easily unplug. It is strongly recommended to use only the USB cable provided by

Specialwaves. After several stress tests, on poor USB cables, we found critical issues and errors. Our USB

cables are selected and certied to achieve maximum error-free performance.

1.6 MIDI Connections

Mine S has 2 physical MIDI ports on board with seven-pin female DIN connectors. One MIDI OUT port and

one MIDI IN port.

The MIDI IN/OUT connectors are used to connect phisically an external device with the Mine S, wiring

the MIDI OUT of the Mine S with the MIDI IN of the external device and vice versa. The MIDI cables are not

included in the package.

vers. 1.1

The reason the MIDI connectors on the Mine S are seven-pole instead of ve (as the MIDI standard) is

because we could use the additional two pins in the future to extend the data protocols on physical ports.

The male-to-male MIDI cable (ve poles) on the market is perfectly compatible with the MIDI connectors

of the Mine S.

Warning: do not connect Mine S with 7-pole DIN cables with devices not designed by Specialwaves. This

could cause damage to Mine S or the connected device.

1.7 Extractor Keys

In the package there are four extractor keys. Two are in stock, while the other two will allow you to replace,

add or remove modules as you please. The extractor keys slot allows you to place the keys without losing

them, thanks to a retaining mechanism.

1.8 Kensington Security Slot

Mine S has a Kensington security slot. The safety cable is not included in the package.

2. HOW TO CONFIGURE MINE S

Mine S is a modular controller. This means that you have an empty board at your disposal (we call it base)

where it is possible to organize pressure (Pad), incremental level (Encoder) or absolute level (Slider and

Pot) controls. You can insert them at will in the base, arranging them horizontally or vertically. Mine S will

automatically recognize the type of module, position and orientation.

Mine S can accommodate up to 32 single-position modules arranged in 8 rows and 4 columns. In the

center of each square silkscreen (one position) there are gold contacts in the shape of a propeller with four

blades. Each module ts into the slots with a system of retaining clips.

Currently there are ve modules available: Slider (occupying three positions), Pot (single position), Pad

(single position), 2 Buttons (single position) and encoder (single position). A blank module (single position)

is also available. Specialwaves is constantly engaged in research and development of new modules.

Slider module:

Allows the adjustment of a value in an absolute way with a longitudinal stroke of

60 mm (2.36 inches). The maximum resolution is 12 native bits (for a total of 4096,

almost fteen microns for each step).

Pot module:

Allows the adjustment of a value in an absolute way with a rotary stroke of 270

degrees. The maximum resolution is twelve native bits.

vers. 1.1

Pad module:

Allows the acquisition of a dynamic pressure with a resolution of twelve bits. It has

a fully programmable RGB Led. Touch sensitivity is programmable.

2 Buttons module:

It has two independent buttons, NOT sensitive to dynamics. It has two independent

fully programmable RGB LEDs.

Encoder module:

Relative endless rotary sensor with mappable momentary push button, thirty

detents (when rotated it emits several “clicks”) and green LED ring made up of 13

LEDs.

Blank module:

This is not a module but a cover to protect PCB from dust.

2.1 Fitting the modules

The installation of the modules is very simple thanks to the clips (snap ts) placed under each module. To

insert a module, simply place it on the base of the Mine S in the desired position and orientation, taking

care to center the dedicated slots with the clips. Gently press the module without tilting it until you hear

a “click”. The module will be immediately recognized by Mine S and will be functional. If, by chance, the

module should enter wrongly or only with just one clip, do not force the module, but use an extractor key

(see REMOVING THE MODULES) to be able to remove the module and re-insert it correctly.

Insert the modules you want on the

mainboard of Mine S.

Please be careful not to tilt the module

when inserting it.

vers. 1.1

2.2 Removal of Modules

To remove a module, you need to use the extractor keys provided, two of which are spare. On the back of

the Mine S there is a slot to store the extractor keys without losing them. Take both keys. Insert an extractor

key into the dedicated slot on the body of the module, until you hear a “click”. Repeat the operation with the

second slot on the opposite side of the module using the second extractor key. The module will lift up and

you can remove it by lifting it with the keys. Hold the module with one hand and pull the extractor key to

remove it from the module. Repeat the operation to remove the second extractor key. Store the extractor

keys in the slot on the back of the Mine S.

CLICK You can recongure your Mine S whenever

you want, even on the y.

Use 2 extraction keys to remove the module.

Insert them into the dedicated slots of the

module until you hear a click.

Lift the extraction keys to remove

the module.

Immediately after, pull out the 2 keys out while holding the

module. Do not leave the extraction keys inside the module

once removed.

CREATE A NEW PROJECT

The creation of a new project is essential to be able to manage various congurations in a comfortable

and fast way. Each module inserted in the Mine S is identied by an id. This makes it possible to identify,

for example, one POT module from another. By clicking on the New icon, a new project will be created. If

changes have been made to the current project, a dialog box will appear requesting saving, with the op-

tions Cancel, Don’t Save, Save and Continue. Cancel cancels any request, Don’t Save ignores the changes,

while Save and Continue allows you to save the entire project.

vers. 1.1

Green Sync:

Mine S enabled, every change is mirrored in real time.

Orange Sync:

Mine S does not send any message and it is possible to make changes without

making them active until the Mine S is synchronized.

SAVE AND SAVE AS

Click on the Save icon to save the current project. The rst time you click, you are prompted for the le

name (with .smp extension). Save as allows you to specify the name and save path each time.

OPEN

Click on Open to open a project. Select the desired le (with .smp extension). If any changes have been

made to the current project, you are asked if you want to save.

SYNC

The Sync icon allows you to transfer all the changes made to the Mine S, making them operational. We

have dedicated a button to avoid errors or transfer functionality at the wrong time.

3.2 Zoom In, Zoom Out, Default Zoom

The magnier tool icons with the “+” and “-” symbol inside allow you to enlarge

or reduce the display of the Mine S. The default zoom icon restores the display

to the initial settings.

3.3 Rotate

Click on the rotate icon to let rotate the view of Mine S by 90 degrees clockwise.
