The Juzisound Total SOLO Sampler MICRO is a compact and versatile audio sampler designed for musicians and producers. This device functions as a standalone sampler, allowing users to load and play various audio samples. It features an active cooling system with an internal turbine fan, requiring at least 5 centimeters of free space in front and behind the unit for proper ventilation.

Technical Specifications:

Display: TFT display for clear visual feedback.
Audio Outputs: 6.3mm mono audio jacks for main outputs (L/R Phones is stereo).
Power Input: 15V/0.4A AC adapter (original Juzisound adapter required).
USB Host Connector: For connecting USB MIDI keyboards or USB Mass Storage devices.
Breath Controller Input: 3.5" stereo jack for analog controllers such as breath controllers, volume/expression pedals, or simple potentiometers. The analog input provides +5V/50mA power and features hardware-configurable amplifier and offset settings.
MIDI Connectivity: MIDI IN/OUT connector, which also supports an extended function for combined MIDI IN/OUT and power out for Juzisound Accordion MIDI systems. A special Y-form MIDI cable (optional) is needed for simultaneous MIDI IN and MIDI OUT usage.
SD Card Slot: For loading and storing samples.
Power Supply Standard: Designed for 230V/50Hz. For 110V/60Hz regions, a 110V to 220V Step Up Voltage Converter (10 watts or more) is required.
Compliance: CE compliant, adhering to European Union Directives 2014/30/EU (Electromagnetic Compatibility), 2014/35/EU (Low Voltage Directive), and 2011/65/EU (RoHS). It also complies with FCC Part 15 rules for Class B Digital devices.

Usage Features:

User Interface: The front panel includes a TFT display, a potentiometer for adjusting headphone and main output volume, MIDI and AUDIO CLIP indicators, and an SD card slot.
Controls:
- MENU button: A short press enters the Fast Menu from the Main Page or returns to the previous menu in other contexts. A long press from the Main Page enters the Main Menu, or returns directly to the Main Page from any menu.
- ENTER button: A short press enters a submenu or moves to the next menu chapter. A long press from the Main Page initiates MIDI LEARN, or returns to the first point of the current menu from other menus.
- PLUS/MINUS (+/-) buttons: Used to navigate menu items or change parameter values.
SD Card Usage: SD cards are essential for the sampler's operation. Users must carefully insert the SD card until it is firmly in place. It is crucial to handle SD cards with care, avoiding static electricity, touching terminals, bending, dropping, or exposing them to strong shock, vibration, direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or moisture. Regular backups of the SD card content are recommended to prevent data loss due to malfunction or improper operation.
Audio Connections: The sampler's audio outputs (L and R) should be connected directly to two separate MONO input channels of a mixer or one STEREO input channel. For stereo sound with two MONO mixer channels, set the PAN of both channels to max L/R. Connecting the sampler's audio output through the audio input of a synthesizer is incorrect and will drastically reduce sound quality.
Breath Controller Connection: The analog input on the rear panel allows connection of various analog controllers using a 3.5" stereo jack. The pinout of this connector is user-adjustable, and the sampler provides +5V/50mA power. A manual switch is available for power polarity settings. Juzisound Breath Controllers work in the LEFT position. Incorrect polarity or a short circuit in the cable will cause the sampler to stop power and display an error message, which can be cleared by pressing any button.
MIDI Y Cable: For simultaneous use of MIDI IN and MIDI OUT, a special MIDI Y cable is required. This cable splits the sampler's MIDI port into MIDI IN and MIDI OUT for controlling external synthesizers.
Power Switch: The power switch is for functional switching only and does not completely disconnect the device from the mains. To fully disconnect, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Hearing Safety: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Users are advised to be cautious with volume levels.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: For daily cleaning, wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly dampened cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent, then wipe thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or other solvents, as these can cause discoloration or deformation.
Environmental Considerations: Avoid using the unit near power amplifiers or other equipment with large power transformers, as this may induce hum. Relocate the unit or change its orientation to mitigate interference. Do not use the device near radio or television receivers, as it may cause interference. Wireless communication devices (e.g., cell phones) can cause noise if operated nearby; relocate or switch them off if problems occur.
Condensation: If the unit is moved between locations with significant temperature and/or humidity differences, condensation may form inside. Allow several hours for the condensation to evaporate completely before use to prevent damage or malfunction.
Liquid and Objects: Do not place anything containing water over the unit. Swiftly wipe down any spilled liquid with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, or spray cans near the unit.
Servicing: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if the apparatus is damaged (e.g., power-supply cord/plug damage, liquid spills, objects falling on it, exposure to rain/moisture, abnormal operation, or dropping). Do not modify the unit, as alterations may affect performance, safety, and compliance standards.
Ventilation: Ensure adequate space for ventilation around the device. Do not cover the apparatus with newspapers, tablecloths, or curtains, as this will impair ventilation and cause overheating. Keep open flame sources (e.g., candles) away from the device.
Fuse and Battery Replacement: Due to the risk of electric shock, fuse and battery replacement should only be performed by an authorized dealer or a similarly qualified person.
