PatchMate LOOP 8 Floor Back Panel...continued....

9  PASSIVE/ACTIVE OUTPUT Jack

   

Use this jack to plug into the next unit in your signal chain or the desired LOOP.  This jack can 

also be used as an output for the guitar signal when splitting the signal.  This jack is the output 

for the PASSIVE/ACTIVE input jack located on the side panel of the PatchMate LOOP 8 Floor.

10 ACTIVE OUTPUT Jack

   

This jack is used to send your guitar signal to your desired device, such as an amplifier.  This 

jack is the output for the ACTIVE input jack located on the side panel of the PatchMate LOOP 8 

Floor.

11  MIDI OUT/THRU Jack

   

Use this jack to plug into the first MIDI controllable device in your signal chain.

12  MIDI IN Jack

   

Use this jack to plug in your MIDI controller.  This jack is a 7 Pin MIDI Jack, however a stan-

dard 5 Pin MIDI Cable can be used.  If plugging into a Rocktron MIDI controller such as the All 

Access, MIDI Mate or MIDI Xchange, we recommend using the Rocktron RMM900 7-Pin MIDI 

Cable (sold separately).  Pins 6 and 7 supply phantom power  to the Rocktron MIDI controller 

when using the RMM900.

13  POWER Jack

   

Plug the included 9VAC adapter into this jack to provide power to the unit.  Please follow all pre-

cautions as outlined in this manual and the manuals of the products that are being plugged into 

the PatchMate LOOP 8 Floor.  Failure to follow these precautions may void the warranty.
