control ports: connect this to a control port on your

Empress pedal using a standard patch cord. You can

connect up to 4 Empress pedals.

The Empress Midibox performs a simple function. It

allows MIDI signals to be processed by Empress pedals

that have a control port. The current-based MIDI

protocol is incompatible with the voltage-based

Empress control port. The Empress Midibox simply

converts the signal from current to voltage.

The Midibox does not convert a MIDI signal into an

analog signal. The Midibox can't be used to output CV

signals. The Midibox can't receive MIDI signals from

Empress pedals, it can only send MIDI signals to Empress

pedals.

midi thru: sends out the signal received by the midi in

connector. This signal is unchanged by the midibox and

is useful for connecting other MIDI devices to the same

source and daisy chaining MIDI devices together.

midi in: connect using a standard 5 pin MIDI cable

to any MIDI compatible source.
