GETTING STARTED
The first thing you will need to begin using your SPM-1 is a MIDI instrument, sequencer, or computer to send it a
control signal. Any electronic instrument which has MIDI will drive the SPM-1, though as mentioned earlier, unless
the master instrument senses and sends key velocity, you will be missing the wide range of dynamic and timbral
expression available from the piano and other sounds.
Shown below is an example of the SPM-1 connected to a MIDI keyboard. Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the master
keyboard to the MIDI IN jack of the SPM-1. Set your master keyboard to transmit on MIDI Channel 1 (more later
about changing MIDI Channels). You can connect any other MIDI instruments you’ll be driving from the same
keyboard to the MIDI THRU jack of the SPM-1, as indicated below. This jack simply “passes along” incoming MIDI
data.
Once your SPM-1 is properly connected to an AC source, a MIDI controller keyboard, and your sound system (see
the diagram below), getting started is easy. Just switch on the SPM-1, the controller keyboard, and the sound
system, and off you go. It’s good professional practice to power up your system in the proper sequence – with the
volume control at minimum, switch on the controller keyboard and the SPM-1 first, then any effects, mixer or
preamp, and finally the power amp. If you sound system is self-contained, just remember to switch on the
controller keyboard and the SPM-1 before the amplifier.
