Making connections and turning the
power on
MIDI & AC adapter connection
Before you make connections, you must turn off the power of all
devices. Failure to do so may damage your speaker system or cause
malfunctions.
1
Connect the AC adapter to the power connector of the KONTROL49,
and plug the adaptor into an AC outlet.
2
Use a MIDI cable to connect the KONTROL49 to your external device.
If you will be using a pedal, connect it to the PEDAL jack.
3
Set the KONTROL49’s power switch to the DC position to turn on the
power.
4
Turn on the power of the connected equipment.
5
When you are ready to turn off the power, set the KONTROL49’s
power switch to STANDBY.
Never turn off the power while you are saving settings (i.e., while the
Write operation is occurring). Doing so may damage the internal data.
USB connection
1
Use a USB cable to connect the KONTROL49 to the USB connector of
your computer. You can leave your computer turned on when you
make USB connections. If you will be using a pedal, connect it to the
PEDAL jack. The MIDI OUT A connector transmits MIDI messages
from the KONTROL49’s encoders and other controllers. The MIDI
OUT B connector transmits MIDI messages from the USB-connected
computer. (p.46)
The KONTROL49 can also be used as a USB-MIDI interface. If a MIDI
sound source is connected to the MIDI OUT A connector, you’ll be able
to control it from the KONTROL49’s keyboard and controllers. If a
MIDI sound source is connected to the MIDI OUT B connector, it will be
able to receive data from your computer.
