POWER SWITCH - push on / push off switch
2.
POWER JACK - The 12-volt AC wall adapter connects to the MIDI Drawbar via this connector.
3.
MIDI OUT - 5-pin DIN MIDI output. This MIDI output is used to send merged data from the MERGE IN
input and front-panel controls to an external MIDI device such as the V3.
4.
MIDI MERGE in - 5-pin DIN MIDI input. This MIDI input is used to merge MIDI data from a keyboard or
computer with MIDI data created by the MIDI Drawbar.
5.
EXPRESSION PEDAL input - A potentiometer or control voltage foot pedal can be connected to this input
to send MIDI control #8. This 1/4" stereo jack conforms to the following specification: Tip=control voltage
input, Ring=510 ohm resistor connected to 5 volts, Sleeve=ground. For a control voltage foot pedal use
positive 0 to 5 volts connected to the Tip and the Sleeve is grounded.
6.
FT SW - tip/ring/sleeve type 1/4" connector for attaching momentary foot-switches for toggling the
Slow/Fast and Brake functions. Tip and sleeve is the connection for the Slow/Fast function while ring and
