2.2 – MIDI EXPANDER OVERVIEW
The KMI MIDI Expander is an optional accessory that allows K-Mix (and other KMI products) to connect to
external MIDI hardware via MIDI cables.
(1) MIDI IN
MIDI input to the Expander. Incoming MIDI will be passed through the K-Mix and up the USB connection to
a connected computer or tablet (if present) — similar to a MIDI interface. MIDI sent into the Expander’s input
can also be used to control the K-Mix Mix bank parameters, and change the currently selected preset.
(2) MIDI OUT
MIDI output from the Expander. MIDI from the K-Mix (and a connected computer) can be sent out of this to
external MIDI hardware.
(3) INPUT LED INDICATOR
Flashes when MIDI is received at the MIDI In port.
(4) OUTPUT LED INDICATOR
Flashes when MIDI is sent out of the MIDI Out port.
(5) POWER PORT
Used to power the MIDI Expander and a connected K-Mix. Just plug a USB power supply (one is provided
with the Expander package) into a power outlet, then connect the power supply to the POWER port on the
Expander using a USB-A to B cable (also provided with the Expander).
(6) EXPAND PORT
Used to connect the MIDI Expander to K-Mix. Just use a mini-USB cable to connect the K-Mix’s CONTROL
port to the MIDI Expander’s EXPAND port.

Only KMI products should be connected to the EXPAND port — other USB devices
(including USB hubs) will not work.
