Rocktron HUSH Ultra - Manual (Page 33)

The MIDI IN in the HUSH Ultra will allow you to select presets directly from a MIDI controller such
as the Rocktron MIDI XChange, MIDI Mate, All Access or All Access LTD. Follow the connection
steps in the CONNECTIONS section of this manual.
Please note that though the HUSH Ultra has a 7 Pin din connector any standard 5 pin MIDI cord may be
used for device connections. This 7-pin DIN connector must be connected to the MIDI OUT jack of the
transmitting MIDI device via a standard MIDI cable, or to the MIDI THRU jack of the preceding MIDI
device (if the HUSH Ultra is within a chain of MIDI devices). Pins 6 and 7 of this connector carry
phantom power to power a Rocktron MIDI foot controller (MIDI XChange, All Access and MIDI Mate)
when a 7-pin MIDI cable is used.
MIDI IN
The MIDI OUT/THRU in the HUSH Ultra will allow you to transmit and control other MIDI capable
devices thru the HUSH Ultra. Follow the connection steps in the CONNECTIONS SECTION of this
manual. Follow the connection steps in the CONNECTIONS section of this manual.
This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be connected to the MIDI IN jack of another device via a stan-
dard MIDI cable. There are limitations to the number of devices that can be chained (or series connect-
ed) in this fashion.
Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained together (con-
nected in series). With more than 3 devices, a slight distortion of the MIDI signal can occur (due to
signal degradation) which can cause an error in MIDI signal transmission. Should this problem arise, a
MIDI Thru box can be used which connects directly to the MIDI device which transmits MIDI infor-
mation and has multiple connectors for the multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not
exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in length.
