Introduction–Making connections and turning the power on

Making connections and turning the power on

MIDI & AC adapter connection

Before you make connections, you must turn off the power of all devices. Failure to do so may damage your speaker system or cause malfunctions.

1

Connect the AC adapter to the power connector of the KONTROL49,

 

and plug the adaptor into an AC outlet.

2

Use a MIDI cable to connect the KONTROL49 to your external device.

 

If you will be using a pedal, connect it to the PEDAL jack.

Never turn off the power while you are saving settings (i.e., while the Write operation is occurring). Doing so may damage the internal data.

USB connection

1

Use a USB cable to connect the KONTROL49 to the USB connector of

 

your computer. You can leave your computer turned on when you

make USB connections. If you will be using a pedal, connect it to the PEDAL jack. The MIDI OUT A connector transmits MIDI messages from the KONTROL49’s encoders and other controllers. The MIDI OUT B connector transmits MIDI messages from the USB-connected computer. (p.46)

The KONTROL49 can also be used as a USB-MIDI interface. If a MIDI sound source is connected to the MIDI OUT A connector, you’ll be able to control it from the KONTROL49’s keyboard and controllers. If a MIDI sound source is connected to the MIDI OUT B connector, it will be able to receive data from your computer.
