Connessioni pannello posteriore

1.Jack adattatore esterno – Inserire l´adattatore CA nel caso in cui non si desideri alimentare il Photon 25 tramite la porta USB oppure per mezzo di quattro batterie di tipo "C". (Servirsi di un dispositivo 6VDC, a polo negativo da 1000mA).

2.Selettore sorgente di alimentazione – premere questo interruttore (IN) per alimentare il Photon 25 o tramite le quattro batterie "C" oppure tramite un adattatore esterno di alimentazione. Nel caso in cui fossero presenti sia le batterie che l´adattatore CA, quest´ultimo verrà preferito alle batterie.

Lasciare questo interruttore su OUT per alimentare il Photon 25 tramite la porta USB di un computer o per spegnere l´apparecchio quando l´alimentazione USB non è presente.

Note: servendosi di un laptop, considerare l´idea di servirsi di batterie per prolungare il funzionamento del laptop tra una carica e l´altra.

Caricare le batterie situate a livello della parte inferiore del Photon 25.

3.Connettore USB – inserire un cavo USB standard in questa uscita ed in una porta USB 1.1 o superiore a livello del computer.

4.Connettore MIDI IN – servirsi di un cavo MIDI a cinque poli per collegare l´USCITA del controller MIDI esterno all´ingresso MIDI IN del Photon 25.

Servendosi di un dispositivo esterno MIDI IN, il computer lo riconoscerà come un secondo controller MIDI IN.
