MIDI IN/REMOTE jack

This 7-pin DIN connector must be connected to the MIDI OUT
jack of the transmitting MIDI device via a standard MIDI cable, or
to the MIDI THRU jack of the preceding MIDI device (if the
Replifex

™

is within a chain of MIDI devices). Pins 6 and 7 of this

connector carry phantom power to power a Rocktron MIDI foot
controller when a 7-pin MIDI cable is used.

This connector is also provided for the connection of a Rocktron
All Access

™

MIDI footswitch, which can be configured as a

dedicated remote footswitch for the Replifex

™

. This feature allows

the user to access Replifex

™

functions and parameters via the

remote footswitch.

MIDI THRU/OUT jack

This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be connected to the MIDI
IN jack of another device via a standard MIDI cable. There are
limitations to the number of devices that can be chained (or series
connected) in this fashion.

Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which
can be chained together (connected in series). With more than 3 devices,
a slight distortion of the MIDI signal can occur (due to signal degradation)
which can cause an error in MIDI signal transmission. Should this prob-
lem arise, a MIDI Thru box can be used which connects directly to the
MIDI device which transmits MIDI information and has multiple connec-
tors for the multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not
exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in length.

POWER jack

This 2.5mm pin jack accepts power from the 9VAC adaptor sup-
plied with the unit.
