Making Connections
Connecting the power adaptor
To connect your Klangbox to a mains supply, please use the power
adaptor supplied with the unit. First connect the power adaptor to
your Klangbox. Before plugging the adaptor's plug into a mains socket,
make sure it is compatible with the mains voltage in your country. If
you lose the power supply, a standard AC or DC 12V / 1.5A power
adaptor can be used as a replacement. The Klangbox power socket
requires a hollow plug (5.5 mm x 2.1mm x 11.5 mm, centre positive).
MIDI connections
There are two ways to play your Klangbox using MIDI:
1. Connect your Klangbox directly to a master keyboard.
2. Connect your Klangbox to your computer's MIDI port in
order to use it with a sequencer or with the Klangbox
Remote Software.
Connect the MIDI in and out of your Klangbox to the MIDI in and out
of your keyboard or computer. The MIDI input of your Klangbox should
be connected to the MIDI output of your keyboard / computer, and
vice versa.
The Klangbox incoming MIDI signal can also control another
instrument if you connect the Klangbox 'MIDI thru' to the instrument's
MIDI in. If your computer does not have a MIDI port, you
can use USB connection as an alternative. The yellow
MIDI LED displays detected MIDI messages that are
coming in at MIDI In with the adjusted MIDI channel.
