1.4. Rear panel overview, part 2
1.4.1. Clock input/output
The included DIN adapter (1/8" TRS jack to 5-pin DIN, black) allows BeatStep Pro to interface
with pre-MIDI technology that used these connectors for synchronization, such as early
drum machines by Korg and Roland. See the
chapter for more details.
♪
: The use of a TRS jack will provide both clock and start signals. A TS jack will provide only clock
signals.
1.4.2. MIDI input/output
Use the included MIDI adapters (1/8" TRS jack to 5-pin DIN, gray) to send control signals
of all sorts to external MIDI-compatible devices. Each of BeatStep Pro’s encoders, the pads,
and the Step buttons can be configured independently to send specific MIDI data.
1.4.3. USB/DC IN
This connector provides the power and data connections to a computer. It can also be used
with a standard USB mobile phone charger (5V and minimum 500mA), allowing you to use
your controller presets and sequences even without a computer present.
1.4.4. Power switch
If you want to turn the unit off without disconnecting the USB cable, use this recessed
switch.
1.4.5. Kensington lock port
BeatStep Pro is highly portable, and it should be carried only where you want it to go. So
we’ve included a Kensington lock slot on the far right edge of the rear panel so you can
secure it to the surface of your choice.
