MIDI In1 / MIDI In 2 / MIDI Out
Please connect MIDI devices here. MIDI keyboards and drum pads should be connected to
MIDI In 1. MIDI In 2 handles MIDI clock data exclusively. Via MIDI out, the Tanzbär sends
out note date of all tracks.
Audio Outs
Tanzbär features one main audio out and six additional instrument outs. The latter are ste-
reo jacks which send out two instrument signals each - one on each channel (except the
clap – this is a stereo sound). Please hook up the outputs with insert cables (Y-cables). On
clap, please use a stereo cable.
If you plug in a cable on an instrument out, the sound is erased from the main out. Please
connect Tanzbär‘s main out to an audio mixer, soundcard or amp, before you power
Tanzbär up.
