SETTING UP YOUR PRO-2000
MIDI CONNECTIONS
MIDI IN
- connect this to the MIDI Out of your MIDI synth or MIDI sequencer using standard MIDI cables.
MIDI OUT
- connect this to the MIDI In of your MIDI sequencer or old synthesizer. This is only needed if you will
be editing the PRO-2000 using SYSEX or doing MIDI data dumps, or if you are using the MIDI channel
filter.
MIDI THRU
- this provides a copy of the information coming into the MIDI In socket so that you can "daisy-chain"
several MIDI devices. It should be connected only to a MIDI In socket if needed.
ANALOGUE CONNECTIONS
CV A & B(-3 volts to +8 volts)
- the control voltage output to control the pitch of most synths, such as Roland, SCI, and Moog, Korg
and Yamaha. When using this make sure that the correct scaling is selected ie volt per octave or
Hz/v.
Connect this output to the input marked CV, oscillator, KBD IN, VCO CV in, VCO, KEY Volt in, etc., of
your synth.
GATE A & B (0 to +5volts or +15 volts)
- the gate voltage output that provides the note on/off information for synths. This is used for most
synths, such as Roland, ARP, Oberheim, Moog etc.
Connect this output to the input marked Gate in, TRIG in, etc., of your synth.
This socket has several modes, which are selectable in software, you may have to adjust this to
receive optimum performance from your synth, as some synths require S-Trig - S-Trig is used to control
Moogs, Korgs etc.
The tip of the jack is the trigger signal - if your synth has the CINCH/JONES connector with two flat
pins, the narrower pin is the trigger signal and the wider one is ground.
AUXILIARIES 1 to 6 (-12.6 to +12.6 volts)
- a voltage output for connecting to an auxiliary input on a synth such as filter control or VCA volume.
Connect this output to the input marked VCF in, VCF fcM, Filter, etc, on your synth to control the filter
cut-off, or the input marked VCA, Volume, loudness, etc., to control volume. You could also connect
this to inputs such as portamento, pulse width, high pass filter cut-off, etc.
Cable Connections
All minijack outputs on the PRO-2000 need standard 3.5mm mono minijack plug. The connection at
the synth end of course depends on what synth you are using. Kenton are able to sell you cables for
connecting to just about any synth, just give us a call.
