Rear Panel Description
6 MIDI IN/REMOTE jack
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
Replifex
™ is within a chain of MIDI devices). Pins 6 and 7 of this
connector carry phantom power to power a Rocktron MIDI foot
controller when a 7-pin MIDI cable is used.
This connector is also provided for the connection of a Rocktron
All Access
™ MIDI footswitch, which can be configured as a
dedicated remote footswitch for the Replifex ™ . This feature allows
the user to access Replifex ™ functions and parameters via the
remote footswitch.
7 MIDI THRU/OUT jack
This standard 5-pin DIN connector can be connected to the MIDI
IN jack of another device via a standard MIDI cable. There are
limitations to the number of devices that can be chained (or series
connected) in this fashion.
Note: Inherently in MIDI there is a limit to the number of devices which
can be chained together (connected 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 prob-
lem arise, a MIDI Thru box can be used which connects directly to the
MIDI device which transmits MIDI information and has multiple connec-
tors for the multiple devices receiving MIDI. MIDI cables should not
exceed 50 feet (15 meters) in length.
8 POWER jack
This 2.5mm pin jack accepts power from the 9VAC adaptor sup-
plied with the unit.
