1 MIDI terminals
The MIDI terminals let you connect external MIDI devices such as a
sampler, drum machine, sequencer, or computer using MIDI cables.
MIDI IN is for input of MIDI note and other performance-related data, as
well as bulk data dumps from another CS2x or MIDI data storage device.
MIDI OUT is for output of MIDI note and other performance-related data,
as well as for bulk data dumps to another CS2x or MIDI data storage
device. MIDI THRU is for “daisy chain” connection of multiple MIDI
instruments, as the MIDI data received at MIDI IN is passed along
unaffected to MIDI THRU. (NOTE: Set HOST SELECT to “MIDI” when
using the MIDI terminals.)
2 HOST SELECT switch
This switch lets you designate the type of host computer, either PC1, PC2,
Mac, or MIDI (page 13). (NOTE: When a host computer is not connected,
set HOST SELECT to “MIDI” for normal MIDI transmission and reception.)
3 TO HOST terminal
This terminal lets you connect the CS2x directly to a host computer which
does not have a MIDI interface (page 13).
4 INPUT jack
This jack lets you connect an external audio source (such as a sampler,
CD player, etc.) directly to the CS2x using either a stereo or mono mini
plug. The incoming audio signals are combined and output at the CS2x's
OUTPUT terminals, thus eliminating the need for an external mixer. To
control the relative balance of the signals, use the external device's
output volume control and the CS2x's panel edit PERFORM LEVEL
parameter (Performance mode; page 44) or VOLUME parameter (Multi
Play mode, page 59).
5 FOOTSWITCH jack
By connecting an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch to this jack you
can control hold on/off, portamento on/off and other parameters,
determined by the ASSIGN CTRL NO (Assign Control Change Number)
setting in Utility mode (page 64).
6 FOOT CONTROLLER jack
By connecting an optional Yamaha FC7 or FC9 foot controller to this jack
you can control filter modulation, filter cutoff, and the Variation effect
(page 12), as well as the Control Change Number (page 64). You can also
use it for “sound morphing” between Scenes when the SCENE CONTROL
function is active (page 25).
7 FOOT VOLUME jack
By connecting an optional Yamaha FC7 or FC9 foot controller to this jack
you can regulate overall volume by foot.
8 STANDBY/ON switch
This switch is for turning the power of the CS2x on and off (page 14).
9 DC IN terminal
This terminal is for connection of the supplied Yamaha PA-3B Power
Adaptor. (CAUTION: Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the
Yamaha PA-3B or equivalent, since the use of an incompatible adaptor
may cause irreparable damage to the CS2x, and may even pose a serious
shock hazard.)
) OUTPUT jacks
The stereo OUTPUT jacks let you connect the CS2x to an external stereo
amplifier/speaker system. When using a mono system, use the L/MONO
jack. (page 11.)
! PHONES jack
This jack lets you connect a set of stereo headphones for private listening
(page 11).
