The MIDI (IN and OUT) Ports
Use the MIDI ports to communicate with other MIDI modules and controllers. The OUT
port is the MIDI transmitting port, and the IN port is the MIDI receiving port.
The Pedal Jacks
Use the three pedal jacks to connect controller pedals to Artis.
The SW1 (Sustain) and SW2 Jacks
Use the pedal jacks to connect switch pedals. A switch pedal is a physical controller typically
used to control two-state (i.e., “on / off ”) parameters, such as sustain, sostenuto, and Mute
Zone.
It is possible to connect up to 2 dual switch pedals having a single stereo plug (Kurzweil
KFP-2S available separately) into the SW1 and SW2 jacks, (see Connecting a Dual Switch
Pedal on page 2-8) or up to 2 half damper pedals having stereo jacks.
NOTE : It is not recommended to plug CC pedals into the SW
inputs. Due to the exible switch pedal support, CC pedals
may not operate as expected in these inputs.
The CC Jack
Use the CC pedal jack to connect a continuous control (or CC) pedal. A CC pedal is a
physical controller typically used to control multi-state (i.e., “continuous”) parameters such
as volume or wah.
NOTE : Only CC pedals should be connected to the CC pedal
input.
For more information on connecting pedals, see page 2-7.
