1. Line
The supplied line cord is connected here.
2. MIDI Thru
“Passes on” all MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital
Interface) information received by the DP/4+ to other
devices. Information generated by the DP/4+ itself
does not go to this jack — the Thru jack merely
echoes what comes in at the MIDI In jack.
3. MIDI Out
Sends out MIDI information to other instruments and
computers when the System•MIDI parameter “63
Send MIDI PrgChg + Controllers” is set to “ON.”
4. MIDI In
This jack receives MIDI information from other MIDI
instruments or computers.
5. Foot Switch 1 and 2 Jacks
These two independent foot switch jacks are
designed for dual (stereo) foot switches, and can be
assigned to a number of different functions, allowing a
total of four independent foot switch controllers (when
two optional SW-10 Dual Foot Switches are
connected).
Warning!
The use of single (mono) foot switches is not
recommended, and can affect the operation and
performance of the DP/4+.
See “A note About the Foot Switches” later in this
section.
6. CV•Pedal
This jack is for connecting an ENSONIQ Model CVP-
1 Control Voltage Foot Pedal, which is assignable as
a modulator to parameters within the DP/4+.
Pedal/CV Specs: 3-conductor (tip = control voltage
input, ring = 424. Ohm resistor to +4.25 volts, sleeve
= ground). 110. KOhm input impedance, DC coupled.
Input voltage range = 0 to 4. volts DC. For use with
an external control voltage, use a 2-conductor cable
with the voltage on the tip and the sleeve grounded.
7. Output Jacks
The four ground compensated output jacks can be
configured in numerous ways. Because the DP/4+
offers fully programmable output control, you can
have almost any combination ranging from a single
mono output to four mixed stereo signals.
See “A note About the Input and Output Jacks” later
in this section.
8. Level Switch
This switch toggles between +4 dBu and -10 dBV (this
affects the rear panel input and output jacks only).
Because this switch can accommodate a broader
range, it allows an improved signal-to-noise ratio.
9. Input Jacks
These four balanced input jacks are truly independent
inputs and can be used in a 1 source, 2 source, 3
source, or 4 source configuration.
See “A note About the Input and Output Jacks” later
in this section.
