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

Synchronization [p.74]

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.
