EFFECT LOOP 2
Effect Loop 2 is a stereo send and return located after the Mix section.
Connections are standard 1/4" mono jacks. Use this loop to insert other stereo
effects processors or patch direct out to an amplifier, mixer or recorder.
NOTES:
1) When you have a device plugged into the effect loops, keep the Master Overide
switches on the front panel in. To switch the effect in and out, add the Patchbay
algorithm to the preset.
2) You may use the effect send jacks in Loop 2 as "pre-fader" outputs.
3) Use the effect send of Loop 1 as a direct out from the "preamp" section of the
NIGHTBASS.
MIDI IN
This jack receives the MIDI signal containing the MIDI messages. It enables you
to "talk" to the NIGHTBASS from an external source such as an X-15 ULTRAFOOT, a
computer equipped with MIDI ports and associated software or a sequencer. Any
MIDI information sent to the MIDI In jack is echoed to the MIDI Thru jack. When
using the NIGHTBASS with an X-15 ULTRAFOOT, connect the MIDI cable to the 5 pin
MIDI OUT jack on the X-15.
MIDI OUT
The MIDI output jack is used to transmit all MIDI control information from the
NIGHTBASS to whichever MIDI device is next in the chain. When using the NIGHTBASS
with an X-15 ULTRAFOOT, connect a MIDI cable to the 5 pin MIDI IN jack on the X-
15.
MIDI THRU
A MIDI Thru jack is provided on the NIGHTBASS allowing you to continue a chain of
MIDI devices and let MIDI information pass "thru" the unit to the next one.
Information leaving the Thru jack is a direct copy of the MIDI messages received
at the MIDI In jack. The information is buffered so the integrity of the signal
is not degraded when passing thru.
All MIDI Jacks are standard 5 pin DIN connectors utilizing standard MIDI
connections. No phantom power is present on the unused terminals. ART recommends
these unused terminals remain unused.
PWR OUT
The Power Output jack located at the rear panel provides an OUTPUT voltage of
(+)9 Volts DC. Use this jack to power external devices requiring a wall mount
adapter. The ART X-11 and X-15 can be powered with this power jack. The jack will
accept a female connector with an inside diameter of 2.1mm. Do not plug in any
external power supply such as a wall mount adapter to this jack. Doing this may
cause serious damage to your NIGHTBASS or quite possibly yourself!
