NOTE: When a new MIDI channel is selected, it is necessary to turn the unit off and back on for
the new MIDI channel to be recognized.
(11) MIDI IN/REMOTE jack:
This 7-pin DIN connector must be connected to the MIDI OUT connector of the transmitting
MIDI device, or to the MIDI THRU connector of the preceding device (if the Piranha is
within a chain of MIDI devices), via a standard 5-pin MIDI cable.
A Rocktron All Access ™ footswitch can be used in "Remote" mode with the Piranha to act as
a dedicated remote for the unit - where All Access switches are dedicated to perform specific
Piranha functions. A 7-pin MIDI cable must be used to connect the All Access MIDI OUT
connector to the Pirahna MIDI IN/REMOTE connector when the remote feature is used.
(12) MIDI OUT/THRU jack:
This standard 5-pin DIN connector passes on the MIDI information that is received at the
MIDI IN jack to other MlDI-compatible devices via a MIDI cable. It also outputs MIDI data
when performing a memory dump.
Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which can be chained
together (series connected). With more than three 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 box can be used which connects directly to
the MIDI device which transmits MIDI information and has multiple connectors for the
multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in
length.
(13) POWER connector:
This module provides a connection for the power cord and also houses the main fuse of the
unit.
(10) MIDI CHANNEL selection switch:
This DIP switch is used to select the MIDI channel that the Piranha responds to. To select a
specific MIDI channel, configure the switches based on the figure below.
