1. Footswitch / Footpedal Input
This jack accepts either a footswitch or continuously variable footpedal. The
default setting is for a footswitch. To use a footpedal, see
page 40.
Footswitch - Accepts either a normally-open or normally-closed momentary
footswitch. The Xboard auto-senses the polarity on power-up.
Footpedal - Accepts most standard footpedal types with a stereo plug. See the
wiring diagram shown on
page 65 for pedal wiring specifications.
2. MIDI Output

used as a MIDI interface from a computer software application. See
page 39.
Use a standard MIDI cable to connect the Xboard to the MIDI input jack of
other MIDI devices.
3. USB

connection provides two-way communication when connected to the
computer and also supplies power to the Xboard. Always connect to the USB
jack on the computer itself and NOT to a low-power USB connection that
may be present on your computer keyboard or other USB peripheral.
4. 6 Volt DC Power
This jack allows the Xboard to be powered from a standard 6VDC Adapter
(positive tip) when not connected to the computer via USB.
