Page 8 XBase 09 Operating Manual
2.4 MIDI Connections
2.4.1 MIDI In
The Xbase09 can be controlled by (and synchronize to) MIDI devices (keyboards, computers,
sequencers, tape recorders) connected to the MIDI in socket.
Connect the Xbase09’s MIDI In to the other device’s MIDI Out with a standard MIDI cable.
2.4.2 MIDI Out
The Xbase09 transmits MIDI data to other MIDI devices such as keyboards, computers and
sequencers via MIDI Out. Connect the XBase09's MIDI Out socket with the other device's MIDI
In socket by means of a standard MIDI cable.
2.4.3 MIDI Thru
MIDI data received at the XBase09's MIDI In is echoed unchanged at the MIDI Thru socket.
You can connect additional MIDI devices to MIDI Thru.
2.5. DIN Sync Out
The Xbase09 features a DIN Sync Out socket. This enables you to sync a TB or TR machine to
the Xbase09. The clock triggers are very precisely aligned to the Xbase09's internal timing.
You can synchronise sequencers, drum machines etc. that support the DIN sync protocl (e.g.
Roland TR808,TB303, Korg Rythm 55b, KPR77 ) to the XBase09 by connecting them to DIN
Sync Out.
Connect the XBase09's DIN Sync Out with the Syn In socket of the device you want to
synchronize to the XBase09. Make sure that the device is set to external sync mode.
The XBase09 outputs the following signals via DIN-Sync-Out :
Start/Stop (Pin 1)
Clock Trigger with 24 Ticks/Quarter Note (Pin 3)
Ground (Pin 2)
Signal level is 5 volts
Make sure that your cables actually connect the abovementioned pins. Some specialized
MIDI cables don't, becaus these pins are not used for MIDI transmission.
