Connections
Be sure to turn off the power of all devices before mak-
ing connections. Failing to take this precaution may
cause your speaker system to be damaged, or may
cause malfunctions.
Connecting the AC adapter
Connect the included AC adapter.
After you have connected the AC adapter to the MS2000/
MS2000R, plug it into an AC outlet.
Connecting external devices
Connect the OUTPUT jacks (L/MONO, R) of the MS2000/
MS2000R to your audio system (mixer, powered monitor
system etc.).
In order to take full advantage of the potential of the
MS2000/MS2000R, we recommend that you use stereo out-
put.
If you are making monaural connections, use the L/MONO
jack.
Connecting pedals and switches
By connecting a volume pedal and a switch pedal you can
expand your performance possibilities.
Connect a pedal and/or switch pedal as necessary. You can
set the polarity of the pedal in Global mode Page 6:
PEDAL&SW. (Parameter guide p.56)
a. ASSIGNABLE PEDAL jack
If you wish to use a pedal to control breath control, volume,
pan, or expression, connect an EXP-2 expression pedal
(sold separately) or an XVP-10 EXP/VOL pedal (sold sepa-
rately) etc.
The function that will be controlled is determined by the
“A.Pedal” setting in Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL&SW
(Parameter guide p.56). With the factory settings, this is
set to Exp Pdl.
b. ASSIGNABLE SWITCH jack
If you wish to use a pedal switch to change programs, to
change the octave up/down, or to turn portamento or the
arpeggiator on/off, connect a PS-1 switch pedal (sold sepa-
rately) or DS-1H damper pedal (sold separately). The func-
tion that will be controlled is determined by the
“A.SwFunc” setting in Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL&SW
(Parameter guide p.56). With the factory settings, this is
set to Damper.
Connecting MIDI devices
If you wish to connect the MS2000/MS2000R to an external
MIDI device, use a MIDI cable to make connections.
1. Using the MS2000/MS2000R as a tone
generator module
To use the MS2000/MS2000R as a tone generator module,
use a MIDI cable to connect the MS2000/MS2000R’s MIDI
IN connector to the MIDI OUT of the external MIDI device.
2. Playing an external MIDI device
If you wish to play an external MIDI device from the key-
board of the MS2000 or from the SELECT [1]–[16] keys of
the MS2000R, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT
connector of the MS2000/MS2000R to the MIDI IN connec-
tor of the external MIDI device.
