MIDI Operation
Once
IXO
is installed as described above, the attached module will be able to send and
receive MIDI using the top two jacks on
IXO
.
1.
Check your module’s manual to see what its capabilities are, with respect to
sending and receiving MIDI.
2.
To send MIDI to the attached module, plug a
stereo audio cable
from a device that
sends MIDI to
IXO
’s input jack (the top one).
3.
To get MIDI out of your attached module, plug a
stereo audio cable
from
IXO
’s
output jack to the MIDI input of a device that can receive MIDI.
If MIDI messages don’t seem to be making it through, flip the polarity switch near the
appropriate jack on
IXO
.
Some Expert Sleepers modules have a helpful “MIDI Thru” option. See the
section below for more information.
I2C Operation
Once
IXO
is installed as described in the previous section, the attached module will be
able to send and receive I2C messages using the bottom jack on
IXO
.
1.
Check your module’s manual to see what its capabilities are, with respect to
sending and receiving I2C messages.
2.
To allow I2C messages to be sent and received, plug a
stereo audio cable
from
IXO
’s bottom jack to another I2C device.
I2C can be fussy. Here are some tips:
•
Use cables that are not excessively long.
•
If you have an I2C network with several devices on it, you may need a powered
bus.
IXO
is designed to allow communication between the module it’s attached to
and another I2C device.

work.
