Getting Connected
Mopho x4 has several inputs and outputs on its back panel.
Power Input — Connect the power supply included with your Mopho x4. The
power supply comes with different AC adaptors that enable it to work almost
anywhere in the world. If for whatever reason you need to use a different supply,
it must match the specifications printed on the back panel.
USB— Mopho x4 transmits and receives MIDI data via this standard, Type B,
USB receptacle. See Using USB on page 35 for more information.
MIDI In— To receive MIDI data from another device, connect this to the other
device's MIDI Out.
MIDI Out/Thru— To send MIDI data to another device, connect this to the other
device's MIDI In. This output can also be configured as a MIDI Thru using the
MIDI Out Select parameter in the Global menu.
Poly Chain— Multiple synths can be poly chained for increased polyphony. For
details, see Using Poly Chain on page 37.
Note: When Poly Chain is turned off in the Global menu, the Poly Chain
output simply mirrors the MIDI Out and transmits the same data.
Sustain— Accepts a momentary, normally open or normally closed footswitch
to control sustain or to latch the arpeggiator. See “Sustain” under Global
Parameters on page 8 for more information.
Pedal/CV —This input can be connected to two types of controllers: a standard
expression pedal that has a variable resistor on a TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) ¼ inch
phone plug, or a synthesizer or other device capable of producing a control
voltage. The control voltage range is 0 to 3.3 volts DC, and the input is protected
against higher and negative voltages. For more information, see “Pedal” in
Global Parameters on page 8 and Miscellaneous Parameters on page 30.
Note: This input is heavily filtered for smooth, clean operation, so there
is a limit to the speed at which it will respond.
Left Out/Right Out— Mopho x4’s unbalanced left and right outputs.
Phones— A ¼ inch stereo headphone jack.
