22 TASCAM US-144MKII
Headphones
Connect headphones to the
PHONES
jack
(standard stereo phone jack) on the front
panel.
MIDI connections
Connect your sound module, keyboard/
synthesizer, drum machine, or other MIDI
device to the US-144MKII as shown below.
If you want to monitor the sound of a sound
module, keyboard/synthesizer or drum
machine, connect the output of that device to
this unit’s
LINE IN
. Alternatively, to monitor
using an external mixer, connect the outputs
of that device and the
LINE OUT
jacks of
this unit to the external mixer inputs.
NOTE
MIDI connections do not transmit audio.
They only carry instructions about what
and when to play, so you must also connect
the audio output jacks of a device to hear
it.
You can use the
MIDI IN
/
MIDI OUT
connectors on the rear panel to transmit
and receive MTC (MIDI Time Code). This
allows the MTC-compatible DAW (Digital
Audio Workstation) computer application to
synchronize with your MIDI equipment.
CAUTION
The MIDI IN indicator and USB indicator •
sometimes stay lit even after the
connected computer has been shut
down. This is because some computers
continue to provide power through
the USB cable even when they are shut
down.
When the MIDI IN jack is receiving any •
kind of MIDI data, the MIDI IN indicator
lights. If a device that sends MIDI
Active Sensing messages is connected,
this indicator will continuously blink.
To avoid this, disable the MIDI Active
Sensing on the connected device.
