1.
USB PORT – Use the included USB cable to connect this port to your computer. In addition to sending
MIDI control data to your computer, this port will provide power to the controller; there is no need to
connect a power adapter in this scenario. If you would like to connect the controller through a USB
hub, however, we recommend that you either power the controller externally with an optional 6V 1A
power adapter, or use a powered hub.
2.
DC IN – If you would like to power the controller externally, connect an optional 6V 1A power adapter to
this power input. Note that the controller can also be bus-powered through the USB connection.
3.
POWER CABLE RESTRAINT – To prevent accidental unplugging, secure the power adapter cable
around this restraint.
4.
ASSIGNABLE KNOBS – These 360* knobs are freely assignable to any
application parameter. For example, you can map these to your favorite
effect plug-in parameters for real-time control. Note that, by default,
these knobs are not assigned to any parameters.
5.
OVERLAY TRIGGERS – By default, these buttons are mapped to the
sample buttons MixMeister Fusion Live. The sample overlay feature
allows you to manually trigger short samples and musical phrases while
you perform. Note that these buttons can also be mapped to any other function in the software.
