RACK MOUNT KIT (ACCESSORY)
The Machinedrum can be rack mounted in a standard 19” rack, using the Machinedrum
rack mount kit which is ordered separately. When rack mounted, the unit occupies four
standard height units plus whatever additional space is needed to accommodate cables
plugged into the unit at the back.
RACK MOUNT KIT ASSEMBLY
Make sure that you have a Philips screwdriver which is in good condition, and which is the
right size. Use the included M3x6mm size screws to secure the rack mount consoles on
each side of the Machinedrum. Make sure that all screws are fastened for secure operation
of the unit.
CONNECTING THE UNIT
Before you start connecting the Machinedrum to other units, make sure that everything is
switched off.
1.
Insert the supplied DC adapter into the wall socket, and connect the small plug into the
rear of the Machinedrum unit.
2.
Connect the main out L/R from the Machinedrum to your mixer or amplifier.
3.
If MIDI control is desired, connect MIDI OUT from the Machinedrum to the device that
you wish to send data to. Connect the MIDI IN to the device that you wish to receive data
from. The MIDI THRU port “echoes” the data arriving at the MIDI IN port, so it can be
used for chaining MIDI units together.
4.
Switch on all units.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure many years of trouble free operation, please follow the advice below:
•
Never use any aggressive cleaners on the casing or the LCD overlay. Remove
dust, dirt and fingerprints with a soft dry cloth. More persistent dirt can be
removed with a slightly damp cloth using only water.
•
Never use sharp objects near the display to avoid scratches or damage. Also
avoid applying any pressure to the display itself.
•
When transporting the Machinedrum, try to use the box and padding the Machine-
drum originally shipped with, or comparable packaging.
•
Make sure that you place the unit on a stable surface before use. If you mount the
unit in a rack, be sure to tighten all four screws in the rack mount holes.
•
The memory used for storing patches and kits is powered by a battery inside the
unit. It will hold data at least 6 years before needing replacement. If the battery
