MIDI I/O. MIDI stands for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface.” However,
MIDI has uses well beyond instruments and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and
outputs allow connection to, and communication with, external MIDI
equipment. One function of these ports is to serve as a standard MIDI
interface, useful for sequencing and myriad other applications. The MIDI
input can also be used to connect a MIDI footpedal to control certain
parameters on your StudioLive. More information about MIDI Control Mode
can be found in Section 5.5.
Power User Tip: MIDI data represents performance information and is not audio;
however, it is frequently used to trigger or control an audio source, such as a plug-in
or synthesizer. When using MIDI, please ensure that your MIDI data is correctly sent
and received by the appropriate hardware or software instruments. You may also
need to route those devices’ audio outputs to StudioLive input channels. Please
consult the user’s manual of your MIDI devices for help with MIDI setup and usage.
FireWire Ports. There are two standard 6-pin FireWire 400 ports on the back of the
StudioLive. Either port can be used to connect the StudioLive to a FireWire port on
your computer. If your computer has a 4-pin connector (commonly found on
laptops), you will need to purchase a 4-to-6-pin adapter or cable. These adapters and
cables can be found at your local computer-supply store. The FireWire 400 ports are
compatible with FireWire 800 connections found on Apple computers. Both a
FW400-FW400 and a FW800-FW400 cable have been included for your convenience.
You can use the second FireWire port to connect additional FireWire devices (such as
external hard drives) to your computer or to daisy-chain a PreSonus FireStudio-family
interface for additional recording inputs.
Note: Connecting FireWire 800 devices to the secondary FireWire connection
is not supported. While connecting your StudioLive to your computer’s
FireWire 800 connection using a 6-pin to 9-pin cable is supported,
your StudioLive will still operate at FireWire 400 bus speed.
2 Amp Fuse. This is the StudioLive’s fuse housing. Your StudioLive uses a 5 mm x 20
mm, 250 VAC, fast-acting fuse.
Power-Input. This is where you plug in the provided IEC power cable.
Power Switch. Push the top part of the switch ( | ) to turn on your StudioLive. Push
the bottom part of the switch ( O ) to turn it off.
