Q: What’s the difference between IXO and MIDIXO? 

A: 

MIDIXO

 can be used as a MIDI breakout for other modules. It can also be configured, 

using its jumpers, to perform some useful MIDI TRS related functions without being 

attached to another module. 

IXO 

functions 

only

 as a breakout. It doesn’t do anything unless it’s connected to another 

module. In addition to MIDI input and output jacks, it also has an I2C jack.  

Both 

IXO 

and 

MIDIXO

 have polarity switches for the two MIDI jacks. 

 

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 

IXO

 is designed to be used in a Eurorack-compatible case. It is a passive module and 

does not require a Eurorack power supply or a connection to your bus board. 

Width 

2hp 

Depth 

17 mm 

Current Draw 

Zero 

 

Included with 

IXO

 are: two M3 x 0.5 mm stainless steel pan-head screws, one 4-pin 

ribbon cable, and one 3-pin ribbon cable (each 4 in. length) 

Solder, printed circuit board and all its attached electronic components are certified RoHS 

compliant. Packaging for everything we sell is made of 100% recycled and reclaimed 

materials. All of the design and assembly that we do uses 100% solar power.
