(optional)
1. Plug a 6v power adapter into a power outlet and connect it to the MPD24.
2. Connect a 5-pin MIDI cable from the MPD24’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of an external
sound module.
IMPORTANT:
The operation of the MIDI OUT port changes depending on whether or not a
USB cable is connected to the MPD24.
USB cable connected:
MIDI data from your computer is passed to the MIDI OUT port. When a
USB cable is connected, you should activate "MIDI echo" in your
sequencer if you want the MPD24 to control another external device.
USB cable not connected:
Whatever you play on the MPD24 is sent to the MIDI OUT port.
Note: If you have another device connected to the MPD24's MIDI IN port,
that device's MIDI information will be ignored.
