Mbox 2 Getting Started Guide 36
MIDI Connections
The two MIDI ports on Mbox 2 let you take ad-
vantage of all the MIDI features of Pro Tools LE,
including recording and editing MIDI tracks.
If you need additional MIDI ports you can add a
compatible MIDI interface. USB MIDI interfaces
work effectively with Pro Tools systems on Win-
dows or Macintosh.
Serial MIDI interfaces are supported on Win-
dows systems only.
To connect MIDI devices to your system:
1
Connect the MIDI OUT of your MIDI device
or controller to the MIDI IN port on the back of
Mbox 2.
2
Connect the MIDI IN of your MIDI device or
controller to the MIDI OUT port on the back of
Mbox 2.
Connecting a Recorder for
Mixdowns
After you record and mix your sessions in
Pro Tools, you may want to mix them down to a
DAT, CD recorder, Mini-Disc, or other stereo 2-
track recording device.
Connecting an Analog Deck
Connect the left and right Mon Outs on the
back of the Mbox 2 to your recorder’s analog in-
puts. Mon Outs Left and Right should be routed
to the left and right inputs, respectively, on your
recorder. These outputs are TRS ports. You may
need adapter cables if your mixdown deck has
RCA inputs.
Connecting a Digital Deck
If you have a CD recorder, DAT deck or other de-
vice that accepts S/PDIF connections, connect it
to the S/PDIF In and S/PDIF Out RCA ports on
the back of Mbox 2
See the Mbox 2 Basics Guide for informa-
tion on basic MIDI concepts.
Only USB MIDI interfaces are compatible
with Pro Tools systems for Mac OS X. Mo-
dem-to-serial port adapters and serial MIDI
devices are not supported.
See Appendix A, “Configuring MIDI Studio
Setup (Windows Only)” or
Appendix B,
“Configuring AMS (Mac OS X Only)” for
information on configuring your MIDI
studio for use with Pro Tools.
MIDI is not audio. To hear the output of
your MIDI devices within Pro Tools, you
must route the audio output of your MIDI
device into your Mbox 2 audio inputs, and
monitor or record the audio into your ses-
sion. See “Making Signal Connections to
Mbox 2” on page 33.
For more information on mixdown options,
see Chapter 5, “Working with
Pro Tools LE.”
When recording from Pro Tools to a digital
device, make sure the Pro Tools Clock
Source setting is set to Internal clock mode.
