Digital
For digital audio output from the PC3, connect a 75-Ohm coaxial cable from the PC3’s RCA
Digital Out jack to the AES or S/PDIF input of the receiving device. You may need an RCA-to-
XLR adapter to connect with the receiving device. If the receiving device receives only optical
signals, you’ll need a converter as well. The PC3’s Master Page (press the Master mode button)
lets you select a range of useful sample rates for the digital output.
The RCA jack labeled “Sync In” allows you to send a digital clock signal to the PC3 when it is
being slaved to another device. Digital audio is not received by this input.
Connecting MIDI
The simplest MIDI configuration uses a single 5-pin MIDI cable: either from the MIDI Out port
of your PC3 to the MIDI In port of another instrument, or from the MIDI Out port of another
MIDI controller to the MIDI In port of the PC3. There are all sorts of possible configurations,
including additional synths, personal computers, MIDI effects processors, and MIDI patch bays.
Depending on your system, you may want to use the PC3’s MIDI Thru port to pass MIDI
information from a MIDI controller to the PC3 and on to the next device in your system. You can
also connect MIDI devices to the PC3’s MIDI Out port, which can send channelized MIDI
information from the keyboard or through the PC3 from your MIDI controller.
The MIDI Thru port can be configured to serve as an additional MIDI Out by sliding the nearby
switch to the Out position.
You can also use the PC3’s USB port to send and receive MIDI.
USB MIDI and 5-pin MIDI can be used at the same time; the MIDI signals will be combined into
a single 16-channel MIDI stream.
