Vermona qMI - quad MIDI Interface - Manual (Page 6)

Getting Started
To ensure top quality, we carefully inspected the qMI - quad MIDI inter-
face before packaging. Nevertheless, the module could have been damaged
during transportation. Therefore, we ask you to take a serious look at the
instrument when unpacking. Do not hesitate to contact us, should there be
anything unusual with the unit or its packaging.
You should find the following items in the box:
• 1 qMI - quad MIDI interface
• 1 system connection chord (16pin, compatible to Doepfer's A100)
• 4 rack mounting screws 3 x 6mm and 4 washers
• this manual
Setup
The qMI - quad MIDI interface was designed to work in modular synthe-
sizer systems using the common euro rack format. Its power supply,
connectors and dimensions match the specifications of Doepfer's A100
modular synthesizer system and compatible units. To mount the module
into your system's frame, carry out the following steps:
1. Switch off the power supply. For safety reasons, also remove the
detachable power cable from your frame.
2. Connect the supplied ribbon cable to the qMI - quad MIDI interface's
rear. The corresponding plug socket is protected against reverse
polarity. The ribbon cable will only fit in one direction.
3. Connect the ribbon cable's other side to an empty plug-socket of your
frame's system bus. Make sure that the color coded side of the cable
points downwards. (see picture "Connecting the qMI to the system-
bus" on page 7)
ATTENTION Connecting the ribbon cable with reverse polarity
may lead to damage of your module when powering
the system
