q
Pickup
This is the actual “pickup” unit which converts
the physical motion of the guitar’s strings into an
electrical signal which can be processed by the
AIX-101/102 and transmitted to the AXON Guitar
MIDI Converter.
■
CAUTION!
• Because of its slender dimensions the pickup
unit is quite delicate and can be damaged if sub-
jected to unnecessary force, bending, or twisting.
Handle the pickup carefully!
w
Multi-pin Cable Connector
This is the main output from the AIX-101/102.
One end of the multi-pin cable supplied with the
AXON Guitar MIDI Converter is plugged in here,
and the other end of the cable is plugged into the
DIVIDED INPUT connector on the AXON. The
multi-pin cable connector delivers both the
individual string output from the AIX-101/102
pickup and the combined output from the guitar’s
output jack to the AXON Guitar MIDI Converter.
It also supplies power from the AXON to the AIX-
101/102, and sends the control signals produced by
the AIX-101/102 UP/DOWN buttons and VOL
control to the AXON.
e
Direct Guitar Input Jack
This jack receives the combined output from
the guitar’s normal pickups from the guitar’s output
jack. The short cable supplied with the AIX-101/
102 is used to connect the guitar’s output jack
(large 1/4" phone jack end of the cable) to the
AIX-101/102 direct guitar input jack (small mini-
jack end of the cable).
r
Power Indicator
The AIX-101/102 is receiving power from the
AXON Guitar MIDI Converter when this indicator
is lit. The indicator lights when the AIX-101/102 is
properly connected to the AXON via the multi-pin
cable, and the AXON power is turned ON.
t
Volume Control
Controls the volume of the MIDI tone
generator(s) connected to the AXON Guitar MIDI
Converter (the AXON translates the position of this
control to MIDI master volume data which is sent
to the tone generator). Use the guitar’s original
volume controls to adjust the volume of the direct
guitar sound.
y
UP/DOWN Buttons
These buttons can be used to select different
synthesizer voices and select other functions while
playing the AIX-101/102. Press either button
briefly to increment or decrement the AXON
Guitar MIDI Converter memory number by one
(and thereby the voice number of the synthesizer or
tone generator it is driving), or hold either button
for continuous scrolling in the corresponding
direction.
u
GUITAR/MIX/SYNTH Selector
Selects the type of output to be delivered via
the multi-pin cable connector to the AXON Guitar
MIDI Converter, as listed below:
GUITAR
Only the direct guitar sound will be
heard (i.e. no synthesizer sound will be
produced).
M I X
Both the direct guitar sound and
individual-string synthesizer output
will be heard.
SYNTH
Only the individual-string synthesizer
output is sent to the AXON (no direct
guitar sound will be heard).
