decreased slightly; if it is green, the level is correct. If
the led does not light up, the input level is too low and
the gain must be increased.
Suggestion: If the INPUT-IN jack is not used, set the
volume on zero to avoid any interference or residual
noise.
The headphones
● Connect the headphones to the PHONES jack
located on the rear panel.
Use stereo headphones with a standard jack. Adjust
the volume with the MASTER VOLUME knob.
Connecting a MIDI controller
For live performances the i40M must be connected to a
MIDI controller, such as a MIDI keyboard, a digital
piano, a MIDI accordion, a guitar controller, a wind
controller, a set of percussion pads or an external
sequencer. For detailed information see “MIDI” on
page 44. Let’s now illustrate two of the most common
situations: connecting a MIDI keyboard and connect-
ing a MIDI accordion.
Connecting a MIDI keyboard
The i40M can be controlled with any MIDI keyboard,
such as a master keyboard or a synthesizer with MIDI
OUT jack.
1 Connect the MIDI OUT jack of the MIDI key-
board to the MIDI IN 1 jack of the i40M using a
standard MIDI cable.
2 Program the keyboard to transmit over the MIDI
1 channel.
According to the factory settings, the MIDI 1 chan-
nel is the channel used by the i40M to receive most
information. For example, channel 1 corresponds to
Global that allows for using all the functions
related to the split point (Keyboard Mode section).
For more information on Global programming, see
“MIDI” on page 44 and the “GLB (Global)” on
page 139.
Note: If the keyboard transmits over the MIDI chan-
nel dedicated to the i40M Global, the keyboard
becomes the integrated keyboard of the i40M. The
i40M becomes virtually your keyboard instrument.
Suggestion: If the keyboard does not transmit over
the Global channel, see “MIDI” on page 44 for more
information.
