3.3 SETTING UP AND STARTING THE SYNTAKT
Make sure you place the Syntakt on a stable support, such as a sturdy table, with sufficient space for the
cables. Make sure to switch off all devices before you connect the Syntakt to other devices.
1. Plug the supplied power adapter to a power outlet and connect the small plug to the 12 VDC In input on
the Syntakt.
2. Connect OUTPUT L/R from the Syntakt to your mixer or amplifier.
3. If you want to control the Syntakt from a computer, connect a USB cable between the computer and the
USB connector of the Syntakt.
4. If you want to use MIDI to control the Syntakt, connect the MIDI OUT port of the device you wish to
send data from to the MIDI IN port of the Syntakt. The MIDI THRU port duplicates the data arriving at
the MIDI IN port, so it can be used for chaining MIDI units together. If you want to use Syntakt to control
other devices using MIDI, connect the MIDI OUT port of the Syntakt to the MIDI IN port of the of device
you want to control.
5. If you want to mix in audio to the Syntakt from external sources, connect the audio source to INPUT L/R.
6. Switch on all units. Switch on the Syntakt by toggling the Power switch located at the back of the unit.
