Apogee Duet | User’s Guide for Windows
MIDI
Duet provides a single USB MIDI connection for your CoreMIDI compatible keyboard, synth, or DJ
controller. This eliminates the need for an external MIDI interface and promotes an all-in-one music
creation solution. On iPad, Duet’s MIDI connection allows both Duet and a keyboard or DJ controller
to be connected at the same time to the iPad’s single dock port.
Analog In and Out
This port is for connecting Duet’s breakout cable. The breakout cable includes 2 combination
mic/instrument connectors (XLR and 1/4” built into a single connector) and 2 balanced 1/4” connectors
for speakers. The elegant single cable-to-junction design allows for easy cable management and the
locking connection to Duet is robust and stylish.
DC Power
Duet is capable of being powered solely by any available USB port on your Mac or PC. However there
may be scenarios where connecting the external AC power adaptor is required.
Increased Duet Power Consumption Exceeds USB Bandwidth
When connecting to a computer with inadequately powered USB ports, or if the Duet requires
more power than the computer can provide, the following message appears:
In this case, connect the Duet’s external power supply.
