Installing DVI for PC (continued):

The installer will install all files needed for DVI
operation. This may take a few minutes depending on
the size of the instrument content. After the installer
has finished, the wizard will display a Installation
Successful message to let you know that installation
has successfully completed. Youll also see a message
that states Please restart your system if this is your
first time installing a SONiVOX DVI instrument. It is
only necessary to restart your system after installing
your first DVI product as installation of the Pace
InterLok driver requires it.

For all subsequent DVI installations this system restart is not necessary as the InterLok driver
should already be on your machine. Please note that, upon completing installation of your first
DVI product, should you elect to launch the DVI without restarting your system, youll be
presented with a Pace error message that states Tpkd driver ddjustment. Reboot your system
or reinstall the software. This message is in no way indicative of a faulty installation. Upon
restarting your system this message will be gone when you launch the DVI.


Purchasing Licenses,Trial Mode,& Activating DVI:

The DVI activation/authorization process is identical for Mac and PC. There are different
methods and scenarios for purchasing and authorizing DVIs, which will vary depending on
whether you purchase directly through the SONiVOX website or purchase a DVI which you
are already running in Trial Mode. In either situation, the authorization procedure is a simple,
painless procedure but please read this section carefully to determine which of the scenarios
described below best fits your situation.

Trial Mode Activation

The first time you open a DVI the Activation Wizard
(pictured right) will give you the option of trying (Try) or
authorizing (Authorize) the product.

-Select Try to activate the 3 day trial period and try the
DVI for free.

-Select Authorize if youve already purchased the DVI
and have a license (receipt) number to authorize it with.


SONiVOX DVI Documentation & Users Guide Copyright 2008 Sonic Network, Inc. Page 9
Trial Mode Activation (continued)

-Also select Authorize if you wish to purchase the product after having used it as part of the
free trial period.


Selecting Try will allow you to use the DVI for free for 3 days, at the end of which time you
can choose to purchase a license and continue using the product or discontinue its use and
allow it to become de-activated. You can always purchase a license after the trial period has
lapsed (see Purchase & Authorization below) but the trial period itself cannot be extended
once the 3 days have expired.

The trial period does not begin when you download or install the product. Instead, the trial
period begins when you first launch the DVI and select Try from the Activation Wizard.

The Activation Wizard will keep you updated as to the status of your trial (This trial will
expire in 2 days This trial will expire in less than 1 day Etc.) until your time period lapses,
at which point the Try button will disappear and you must authorize the DVI to continue
using it.


Purchase & Activation/Authorization


Purchasing a DVI directly from the SONiVOX website: www.sonivoxmi.com
In this scenario, you browse our website and add DVIs to your shopping cart. When youre
ready to buy, you proceed to check out and complete the payment procedure at which time
you then download the DVI product to your Mac or PC and install it on your system. Your
receipt number from this transaction doubles as your serial number for
activation/authorization. You will need it to complete the authorization procedure as
described below:

Internet Activation Method

1. After installing the DVI, launch it in Standalone Mode or from within a host application,
select Authorize from the Activation Wizard and then Internet Activation. This will
connect you to the corresponding Product Authorization page for your DVI product.

2. In the Receipt field of the Product Authorization page,
enter your receipt number. Once this receipt number is
entered, your DVI will authorize automatically.

SONiVOX DVI Documentation & Users Guide Copyright 2008 Sonic Network, Inc. Page 10
Manual Activation Method

If your music computer is NOT connected to the internet follow these instructions for Manual
Activation. This procedure will allow you to request a license from our server and receive a
license response back from us that can then be transferred to the machine on which your DVI
is installed.


1. After installing the DVI, launch it in Standalone Mode or from within a host application,
select Authorize from the Activation Wizard Manual Activation. On the next screen
you will see the Save License Request button (right). Click the Save License Request
button and save the License Request File (Your DVI Product.ilr) to your desktop.

2. Copy and move the License Request File (.ilr) to a machine that is connected to the internet.

3. Create an email using the same email address you entered when purchasing the DVI
from the SONiVOX website. Include the license request file (Your DVI Product.ilr) as
an attachment. Attach the license request file that you transferred in the previous step to
this email and send it to licenses@sonivoxrocks.com You must send this email from the same
email address you entered on our website, otherwise authorization will not work.

4. After sending the email as outlined in the previous step, in a few minutes you will receive a
return email from SONiVOX with a license response file (Your DVI Product.ilf). Save this
file and transfer it back to the machine on which your DVI product is installed.


5. On your DVI Machine, open the DVI. Open the
Activation Wizard, hit Authorize, and then Manual
Activation. Now, hit the Read License button (in red-
right) and navigate to the license response file you
transferred to this machine in the previous step. Select this
file and hit Open. This will complete
activation/authorization.



Purchasing a DVI product running in Trial Mode through the Activation
Wizard.

Internet Activation Method

In this scenario you will connect to the SONiVOX website directly from the DVI Activation
Wizard and add the product to your shopping cart. Once payment is complete, your DVI will
authorize automatically.

SONiVOX DVI Documentation & Users Guide Copyright 2008 Sonic Network, Inc. Page 11

Internet Activation Method Through Trial Mode Purchase (continued)

1. First, launch the DVI in Standalone Mode or from within a host application, select
Authorize from the Activation Wizard and then Internet Activation. This will connect
you to the corresponding Product Authorization page for your DVI product.

2. Click on the Purchase button to add the DVI to your shopping cart and proceed through
the menu to complete your purchase. Once purchase is complete, your DVI will authorize
automatically. (Please note the machine you have the DVI installed on must be connected to the
internet to use this method of license purchase & authorization.)

Manual Activation Method

This method is identical to the one described above in the Purchasing a DVI Directly from the
SONiVOX Website scenario. As it isnt possible to purchase through the Activation Wizard on
a machine not connected to the internet, you will need to first purchase the DVI on another
machine and then follow the steps described above for generating a license request/license
response transaction.

As mentioned above, be sure to send your license request file (.ilr) from the same email
address you entered when you purchased the DVI you are attempting to authorize. This
ensures that youll receive a license response file (.ilf) back from our server.



Basic Configuration & Audio/MIDI Setup:

Selecting Your Audio Device: To the
right audio device selection is pictured. It
is an imperative for standalone usage that
you select your preferred audio output
device. In this example the built-in option is
selected.



Selecting Your Audio Output:
Pictured to the right is audio output
selection. Make sure to choose the
outputs on your audio device that you
intend to listen to your DVI through.
In this example we have chosen audio
outputs 1 and 2 of our audio device.
SONiVOX DVI Documentation & Users Guide Copyright 2008 Sonic Network, Inc. Page 12


Setting the Audio Buffer Size: Audio Buffer Size
(pictured to the right) determines the amount of latency
in your DVIs performance. A lower buffer setting
will result in a lower latency and better real-time
performance. It is important to keep in mind that the
lower the buffer, the more cpu usage and higher
possibility of audio crackling, popping or
performance malfunction. It may take some
experimentation to find the optimal setting for your
machine


Setting the Sample Rate: Sample Rate Selection (pictured to the
right) allows you to select the DVIs output sample rate in
standalone mode. When the DVI is active in a DAW this
function is disabled and the DAW will automatically dither
the DVIs output to that of the DAW/Host application. In
standalone mode feel free to set the sample rate to what ever
you like.




Setting the MIDI Input Port: For
Standalone use it is imperative that
you select the correct MIDI input
port. This is found in the I/O
Settings menu (pictured right)
Please select your MIDI input
device here. USB Keyboard or
MIDI Interface port etc.
