Connect the 5-pin MIDI cable from the battery to the MIDI Out connector on the Ztar.
Embedded USB Power Bank:
If you have this option there is a 5V USB power
bank and additional boost power supply installed internally to provide power to the
Clipper. The battery is charged from the USB port using a standard USB cable.
There is also an additional 3-position switch provided that sets up charging for the
internal battery.
Position 1: Charge the battery
Position 2 : Center-Off
Position 3: LED-Power enabled.
The embedded Power Bank is replaceable by removing the backplate, unplug the USB
cables from the battery, gently pry the battery from its adhesive, and press the new
battery down firmly to attach it.

Inversion, and Base Volume setting.

effects, chords, and sequences.
