ENGLISH

Using a wireless system to connect the AX-Synth
to your amplifier, etc.

Using a commercially available wireless system and bat-
teries has the advantage that you are free in your move-
ments on stage—with no cables to worry about.

Note: Be sure to only use wireless transmitters that comply
with local radio regulations.

(1) Connect the wireless transmitters to the OUTPUT

jacks on the AX-Synth’s rear panel.

Note: The shape of the wireless connectors depends on the
model you are using.

Note: If your amplifier is monaural, you need only one
transmitter. Connect it to the L/MONO socket.

(2) If the wireless receiver is intended for low-level

signals (high input sensitivity), set the

[ATT] switch

to the “ON” position to reduce the AX-Synth’s
audio output level.

“ATT” is short for “attenuator”.

(3) Connect the wireless receiver’s audio output(s) to

the mixing console, amplifier, etc.

Controlling a MIDI-compatible sound source

(1) Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI OUT socket to the

MIDI IN socket of the module or synthesizer you
want to control.

Note: Do not forget to connect the module, synthesizer,
etc., to an amplifier. See its manual for details.

(2) Switch on the

[TX¥ON] button.

Note: See page 27 for details about the AX-Synth’s MIDI
functions.

Controlling the AX-Synth from an external MIDI
device

The AX-Synth’s tone generator can also receive MIDI
data and play the notes using the currently selected
sound. The AX-Synth always receives on the MIDI chan-
nel that has the same number as the transmit channel
you select (see p. 27).

(1) Connect the AX-Synth’s MIDI IN socket to the MIDI

OUT socket of the instrument that should control
the AX-Synth.
