Setting up RX02

A)

Using it as a wireless MIDI interface with a hardware synthesizer.

 Connect

the wall-wart USB adaptor to the mains voltage, and push the USB MINI B
plug   into   RX02.   Connect   the   MIDI   OUT   of   RX02   to   the   MIDI   IN   of   your

synthesizer with a DIN-DIN MIDI cable. The MIDI IN on RX02 can be used as
an optional additional input for another MIDI source. MIDI data coming from

the TX02 and from the DIN MIDI input on the RX02 will be merged together
in this mode and both data appears on the MIDI OUT socket on the RX02.

B)

Using it as a wireless MIDI interface with a computer

. Connect RX02 to your

computer with a USB cable. It will appear as “

Panda-Audio midiBeam

” on

either Windows or Mac platforms without any driver installation. You have to
select this as the input for your soft synthesizer. Additionally, the DIN MIDI

OUT   of   RX02   is   also   available,   so   you   can   use   a   soft   synthesizer   and   a
hardware synthesizer at the same time. The MIDI IN on RX02 can be used as

an optional additional input for another MIDI source.

C)

Using   it   as   a   computer   MIDI   interface

.   RX02   alone   can   be   used   as   a

conventional MIDI interface to your computer. In this case TX02 must not be
turned on. Connect RX02 to your computer with a USB cable. It will appear as

Panda-Audio midiBeam

” on either Windows or Mac platforms without

any driver installation. Typically, connect the MIDI OUT of your keyboard to

MIDI IN on RX02, and connect MIDI OUT of RX02 to the MIDI IN on your
hardware synthesizer or MIDI expander box. You can use in this setup RX02

to record into a sequencing program from your MIDI keyboard, and to replay
from the sequencing program into your hardware synthesizer.
