ZETA Strados Violin

Using the Instrument Audio Output:

Simply plug a standard 1/4" shielded phone cable into the 1/4" jack
on the side of the instrument; connect this cable to a ZETA AP-12,
or other amplification system.

MIDI CAPABILITY

This powerful feature is unleashed when your Strados Violin is used in
conjunction with ZETA's Synthony II MIDI Processor. Access the world
of MIDI inside of the Synthony II - which features 480 MIDI sounds, 64
digital effects, on-board drum sequencer and arpeggiator; as well as a wide
range of user-programmable features.

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. Once plugged into
the Synthony II, your Strados Violin can communicate with other MIDI
devices - including other tone generators, sequencers, and samplers. You
can also interface with your home computer, and access notation software,
music tutorials, and the World Wide Web - where you'll find interactive
recording studios and jam sessions.

Using MIDI Ca pability:

All ZETA instruments require the ZETA Synthony II MIDI
Processor to access MIDI. A special 13-pin DIN cable, included
with each Synthony II, plugs into the multi-pin output on the
Strados Violin (located next to the 1/4" output on the side of the
instrument). Detailed instructions regarding MIDI and related
MIDI technologies are included with each Synthony II processor.
