Powering Up
There are two ways of supplying power to your controller: - You can connect an DC adaptor (7-12V,
350mA, center negative) to the jack on the back panel of the controller. - Alternatively, you can supply
phantom power via the MIDI cable.
Phantom power is received at MIDI OUT port of the controller. Please note that we use 5 pin (NOT 7 pin)
MIDI OUT port that receives phantom power on pins 2 and 4 (outer pins, see Fig. 4).

Phantom power the controller receives is also available on pins 2 and 4 of the MIDI IN port so that you can
daisy-chain several phantom powered MIDI devices.
Three seconds after the power is supplied to the controller, the firmware version is displayed on the
screen, the LEDs blink several times and the controller is ready for operation.
