k)
Foot Pedal jacks 1 and 2
Stereo 1/4” connectors. The sleeve is ground reference, the ring is +5 volts (source),
and the tip is an analog signal from 0 to 5 volts. Connect either foot switches, foot
pedals, or control voltage sources to these inputs to modulate parameters or to trig-
ger events (including remote program loads).

m) Relay Jack
Two relays are connected to this Stereo 1/4" connector. They can be controlled
from suitable programs, allowing the DSP7000 to drive real-world equipment, and
can switch up to 1.0A at 30V dc. Relay #1 is connected between ring and sleeve,
while Relay # 2 is connected between ring and tip. All of these connections are elec-
trically isolated from the DSP7000. See the separate Programming Manual for in-
formation on controlling the relays.
MIDI
is used for instrument to instrument digital communications. The DSP7000 sends and receives
Eventide system exclusive messages that allow a MIDI sequencer to remote control the DSP7000, among
other things. In addition, the DSP7000 may respond to standard MIDI messages and may output standard
MIDI messages. The DSP7000 has three MIDI ports:
n) In
The DSP7000 accepts (and processes) MIDI messages received at the MIDI In port.
The connector is “7 pin” and can provide power to a suitable pedal board, provided
you supply power at the “Remote Power In” socket described below. It can also
send MIDI messages from this connector to a suitably equipped system. This means,
for example, that a pedal board can be connected to the DSP7000 by means of a sin-
gle cable that supplies power as well as a communication path. A normal "5 pin"
MIDI cable can be used as a standard MIDI input.
o) Out
The DSP7000 sends MIDI messages to other devices via the Out port.
MIDI messages
are also sent out the serial port if they are “enabled.”
p) Thru
Any MIDI information received at the MIDI In port is echoed directly to the MIDI
Thru port regardless of the DSP7000’s configuration (
as long as the DSP7000 is powered
up) .
With the Memory Card removed, the
BUSY
LED on the front panel illuminates whenever a MIDI message is received
at the MIDI In port. Note: If the serial port is “enabled” and MIDI is “enabled,” a command received over either the
serial port or the MIDI In port causes the port
not
receiving the command to be ignored until the command is complete.

See
MIDI Setup
on page 37.
q) Serial Port
An IBM PC type RS232 connector that looks like a modem or printer to a connected
computer. Connect a "9 pin" serial cable to this port to transfer information to and
from a personal computer (do not use the "null modem" type of cable designed for
file transfer between two computers - it will not work).
With the Memory Card removed, the
BUSY
LED on the front panel illuminates whenever a message is received at the serial port.
Note: If the serial port is
“enabled” and MIDI is “enabled,” a command received over either the serial port or the MIDI In port causes the port
not
receiving the command to be ignored until the command is complete.
