Getting Familiar: The Rear Panel
Connecting your MuseBox to your mixer, your amplifier, your computer, or to other music gear is
simple to do with the connections on the back. The rear panel also features a CF card expansion
slot to add new virtual instruments and effects by simply popping in a CF card (available separately
from Muse Research).
1. DC Power Input: This is where you connect MuseBox's 12-volt external DC power supply. For
your safety, and to preserve the warranty on your product, use only the power supply adapter and
cables provided with your MuseBox.
2. CF Card Slot: The CF card slot is used to run new virtual instruments and effects. Insert the
card with the label side up and use care when inserting it to ensure proper alignment. Use only CF
cards provided by Muse Research or certified for use with MuseBox, as only those cards will provide
you with the appropriate level of performance.
3. Footswitch Input: The footswitch input accepts either a single 1/4" tip-sleeve jack footswitch
(single action) or a double footswitch with a 1/4" tip/ring/sleeve connection. The footswitch input
can be used for incrementing (or decrementing using a second footswitch) through patches in the
unit, making it easy to change sounds or effects while performing. This is particuarly valuable to
guitarists who might not have any MIDI devices attached to their MuseBox, or keyboardists who do
not have their hands free to select program changes from their keyboard while performing.
4. MIDI Input: This full-size 5-pin DIN connector is where you plug in your standard MIDI
keyboard for controlling the virtual instruments in your MuseBox. If you want to connect more than
one keyboard to this input, you can first connect to a MIDI merge box, and then connect to this
input.
5. Audio Outputs: This is the Left (L) and Right (R) channel output of MuseBox for connection to
your mixer, amplifier, or powered speakers. The outputs accept 1/4" unbalanced cables and should
be connected to a high impedance input. You can adjust the output volume using the front panel
volume control. The audio outputs will not drive speakers directly, you must connect your MuseBox
to a mixer, or to a keyboard amplifier, or to an amplified speaker to hear sufficient output volume.
