MIDI Expander (optional)

Connect QuNeo to our KMI MIDI Expander (sold separately) to control MIDI hardware 
without a computer.  Power is supplied to QuNeo from the MIDI Expander’s power port 
when the MIDI Expander is plugged into a power outlet.
 

LEDs

LEDs provide the visual feedback needed for intuitive control over the QuNeo.  Contained 
within QuNeo are 251 LEDs with 16 different levels of brightness.  The 16 square pads 
provide an option of red and green on each corner, giving you 128 LEDs at your disposal 
on just the pads alone.  Local or Remote LED control is available.  In Local, the action on 
sensors will determine the LED behavior.  In Remote, note or CC data input will determine 
LED behavior.  Local and Remote LED Control can be used simultaneously.  See the 

QuNeo LED Behavior

 chapter for more information.
