SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 9
Rear panelQGrounding screw
For safety, use this screw to ground the SPX2000.
The included power cable has a three-prong plug; if the
electrical outlet you use is correctly grounded, the
SPX2000 will be appropriately grounded. If the electri-
cal outlet is not grounded, use this screw to ground the
SPX2000. Correctly grounding the SPX2000 will effec-
tively reduce hum and interference.
R[AC IN] jack
Connect the power cable to this jack. First connect the
power cable to the SPX2000, and then connect the
other end to the electrical outlet.
S[MIDI OUT/THRU] connector
You can connect a MIDI device to this connector and
use MIDI messages to send SPX2000 data to it. You can
bulk-dump SPX2000 data via MIDI, or re-transmit
MIDI data received at the [MIDI IN] connector (T)
from this connector without change. Use “MIDI OUT
SETUP” (page 21) to specify whether this connector
functions as “MIDI OUT” or “MIDI THRU.”
T[MIDI IN] connector
You can connect a MIDI device to this connector and
use messages transmitted from that device to remotely
control the SPX2000 (page 88).

You can use a USB cable to connect your computer
here. You can use SPX2000 Editor or your MIDI appli-
cation to remotely control the SPX2000 from your
computer (page 6).
