MIDI Section

MIDI THRU/OUT/IN jacks

These jacks are used to connect the MP10 to external MIDI

devices, and also to a computer with a MIDI interface as an

alternative to the ‘USB to Host’ port.

USB TO HOST port

This port is used to connect the MP10 to a computer using a

USB cable. When connected, the instrument can be used as a

standard MIDI device, allowing it to send a receive MIDI data.

Connect a ‘B’ type USB connector to the instrument, and an ‘A’

type USB connector to the computer.

* When connecting the MP10 to a computer using the ‘USB to Host’ port,

additional driver software may be required (page 33).

OUTPUT Section

FIXED OUTPUT jacks

These jacks are used to connect the MP10 to a musical

instrument amplifier, PA system, or recording console using

XLR terminals.

The VOLUME fader does NOT affect these outputs.

GND LIFT switch

This switch is used to shut the ground loop that can occur when

connecting the MP10 using XLR terminals.

This switch can typically be left in the OFF position.

NORMAL OUTPUT jacks

These jacks are used to connect the MP10 to a musical instrument

amplifier, PA system, or recording console using standard 1/4”

phone jacks. To output a mono signal, connect the cable to the

L/MONO jack.

e

INPUT Section

NORMAL INPUT jacks

These jacks are used to connect a pair of stereo outputs from

other electronic instruments or audio equipment to the MP10.

The input level can be easily adjusted using the LINE IN fader.

When connecting a mono audio source, connect the cable to

the L/MONO jack only.

* When using the Audio Recorder function, the INPUT audio will also be

recorded to the WAV/MP3 file (page 58).
