Audio Connections
In order to hear the Klangbox, connect its stereo
outputs to the left / right inputs of a mixer, a
computer sound card or a HiFi system. You can
also process external signals by plugging an audio
sound source into your Klangbox input.
Power Switch
This is rather obvious, but in order to activate
the Klangbox please turn the power switch on!
The blue LED is the displaying the power
status and the yellow LED is detecting MIDI.
USB Connections and driver installation (Windows XP)
An alternative to using MIDI to connect your Klangbox to a computer
is to use the built-in USB interface. On a PC, this requires Windows
XP with Service Pack 2; the Mac version supports OS10.4. After
connecting the Klangbox to a computer, Windows will automatically
recognize the Klangbox as an audio
USB instrument. No extra drivers
are required - you can start playing
right away! After starting your
sequencer program (shown here:
Cubase SX), you can use the USB
audio instrument driver as a MIDI
port. Once in a while, under older
versions of Windows XP (before Service Pack 2), the USB port will
not re-appear on screen after disconnecting the Klangbox. In this
case, please reboot Windows XP. After rebooting, your USB port
should appear again.
Installation of the Remote Software
To install the Remote Software supplied with the Klangbox on your
PC, please put the CD-ROM labelled 'Klangbox into the CD-R drive
of your computer find and doubleclick “Minimax Klangbox 3.3K.exe”
in the Minimax folder.
