This socket has several modes, which are selectable in software, you may have to adjust this to
receive optimum performance from your synth, as some synths require S-Trig - S-Trig is used to control
Moogs, Korgs etc.
The tip of the jack is the trigger signal - if your synth has the CINCH/JONES connector with two flat pins,
the narrower pin is the trigger signal and the wider one is ground.
AUXILIARIES 1 to 6 (-12.6 to +12.6 volts)
- a voltage output for connecting to an auxiliary input on a synth such as filter control or VCA volume.
Connect this output to the input marked VCF in, VCF fcM, Filter, etc, on your synth to control the filter
cut-off, or the input marked VCA, Volume, loudness, etc., to control volume. You could also connect
this to inputs such as portamento, pulse width, high pass filter cut-off, etc.
Cable Connections
All minijack outputs on the Pro-2000 mkII need standard 3.5mm mono minijack plug. The connection
at the synth end of course depends on what synth you are using. Kenton are able to sell you cables
for connecting to just about any synth, just visit our website.
THE ARP CLOCK & SYNC 24 OUTPUTS
CLOCK PULSE - (arpeggio clock)
- this output provides a +5 volt clock pulse related to the incoming MIDI clock. The ratio of MIDI clocks
to arpeggio pulses can be adjusted - (see CLOCK PULSE DIVIDE).
A +5 volt level will be output on the first MIDI clock after a MIDI start (or continue if selected) is
received, and thereafter dependent upon the CLOCK PULSE DIVIDE ratio.
You may for example connect this to an input marked Ext. Clock In on an analogue drum machine or
sequencer. It could also be used to gate/trigger envelopes or Sample and Hold circuits in time with
MIDI clock.
SYNC 24 - (DIN 24 sync, used on SOME ROLAND equipment)
- this output provides clock and stop/start signals. See later in the manual for pinout information.
Cable Connections
MIDI leads may not be suitable for connecting to the SYNC 24 socket as they require different pins
connected. Use a 5 pin DIN to 5 pin DIN audio lead available from Kenton (or a HI-FI shop).
Connect this output to the SYNC 24 input on a TR606/808, MC202, or TB303 to synchronize these
instruments’ sequencers to MIDI clock.
EDITING THE Pro-2000 mkII
The Pro-2000 mkII is very easy to use. It uses a standard system of editing. It has a clear and informative
2x16 LCD with backlight, INCREMENT, DECREMENT, SELECT and ENTER buttons.
To select the parameter you wish to edit, the parameter LED (the red light emitting diode), must be lit.
If it is not, press the SELECT button. You can now scroll through the parameters using the INC and DEC
buttons.
To edit a value, press the SELECT button again. The value LED will light up. Now by pressing the INC
and DEC buttons, the value can be edited.
