9.3.2
Power button
The V-‐Machine’s power button is located next to the power source input connector. To activate
power to the unit, simply press the power button.
9.3.3
USB Slave connector
A USB Slave connector is provided for connection to a host PC. This is necessary to take
advantage of the benefits of configuring the V-‐Machine directly from your computer.
9.3.4
USB Host connectors
Two (2) USB host connectors are provided for connection to USB peripherals such as USB
Memory Sticks, USB Disk Drives, and USB MIDI controllers. Both Host connectors provide USB
bus power.
Special Note:
USB Midi controllers and USB hard/flash drives can be hot swapped to the V-‐
Machine at any time after the unit has completed the full boot procedure at power up.
9.3.5
MIDI input
A standard 5-‐pin MIDI connector is provided on the rear panel for connection to MIDI
compatible devices.
Quick Tip:
If you have a MIDI device that offers both 5-‐Pin MIDI and MIDI over USB it may be a
better choice to connect via USB as the USB host connectors on the V-‐Machine deliver bus
power!
9.3.6
Audio input
One (1) 3.5mm stereo (-‐10dBV) mini jack audio input is provided on the rear panel.
The input level sensitivity can be adjusted in the Global System Settings (
see section 10.3.1
)
Quick Tip:
•
If connecting a mono input source for processing it is a good idea to activate only the
Left input channel in your Preset configuration. This ensures the processor is not
actively processing non-‐existent and irrelevant data.
•
The audio input status can be metered on the right hand side of the LCD during
operation.
9.3.7
Audio outputs
Two (2) 6.5mm TS analog (-‐10dBV, Left and Right) output connectors are provided on the rear
panel. These connectors deliver the V-‐Machine’s stereo analog audio signal. Left and Right
outputs are marked clearly for identification.
Special Note
:
•
When the mono output option is activated in the Global Menu options all audio is
summed to both the LEFT and RIGHT outputs.
•
The audio output status can be metered on the right hand side of the LCD during operati
on.
9.3.8
Headphone amplifier output
The V-‐Machine includes a quality headphone amplifier for monitoring the stereo audio output
signal.
