Daughterboard Installation (optional)
DMAN provides a (26-pin header) daughterboard connector (see
diagram 2) for installation of an optional wavetable synthesis
daughterboard. The daughterboard interface is compliant with
most de facto industry-standard daughterboards. Adding this
daughterboard will give you built-in General MIDI (GM)
synthesis and enable you to combine (with the use of appropriate
software) MIDI sequenced sound with digitally recorded audio
produced by DMAN.
1. As above, turn off the computer, open the case, and make
sure you are grounded.
2. Locate the DMAN card in your computer.
3. Remove the bracket screw that is holding the DMAN in place.
4. Gently pull the DMAN straight out of the slot. If it is a tight
fit, once again use a slight rocking motion.
5. With DMAN in front of you, remove the daughterboard from
its anti-static bag and carefully align the header socket on the
daughterboard with the header pins on DMAN. Make sure
that the daughterboard is properly oriented so it is “inboard”
to the DMAN card. If any part of the daughterboard extends
beyond the DMAN PC board boundaries you have put the
board on backwards.
6. Following the instructions for Mechanical Installation,
reinstall DMAN in your computer.
Once the daughterboard is installed, it will take MIDI data from
the MPU401 section of DMAN. Choosing the DMAN MPU401
MIDI driver from your sequencing software (or MIDI Mapper)
will direct MIDI output to the daughterboard. The same MIDI
data will also appear at the DMAN MIDI Out connector.
