Getting started with the Bitstream 3X
Connection to a computer
Connecting the Bitstream 3X to a computer can simply done via the USB port. This port is capable of
transferring MIDI data to the Bitstream 3X, as well as powering the controller without requiring the
transformer that came with the machine.
The Bitstream 3X can also be connected to a computer via standard MIDI ports, if the computer is
equipped with MIDI ports, the Bitstream should then be connected to these, being sure to connect the
input « MIDI In » on the Bitstream to the « MIDI Out » of the computer and vice-versa as with any
other MIDI gear.
In this case, the user can chose to connect the USB port to add supplementary MIDI inputs and
outputs, and to power the Bitstream via the same USB port.
The user can also decide to not connect the USB port, and in this case, the usage of the external
transformer is required.
