The coax power jack above the A.C. line cord can provide power to a Midi foot controller, through the 7
pinMidi IN jack. This is accomplished by connecting an external A.C. to
D.C. power adapter of correct voltage and polarity for whatever type of
foot controller you are using to the coax jack on the rear panel of TriAxis.
The Mesa/Boogie Abucus foot controller requires the following power
requirements: 12 Volts @ 500 ma, Tip = Ground and Sleeve = Positive.
Connect a 7-pin DIN cable between the Midi In jack on the TriAxis and the
Midi Out jack on the foot controller. This negates the need for a clumsy power adaptor on the stage.
NOTE: 7 -Pin DIN cable will not fit into 5-Pin DIN jacks. Check to see that your foot controller accepts 7-Pin DIN cables and is wired
to accept Power in this manner...and of the proper voltage match to TriAxis’ phantom power output.
TriAxis provides the standard “Midi Interface” via these three jacks. Connect the 7-Pin
DIN to the Abacus or similar foot contoller. Then connect the next device’s Midi In jack to TriAxis Midi THRU jack.
TriAxis’s Midi “THRU” and Midi OUT jacks mirror all incoming Midi mes-
sages. The “THRU” jack will not send Data Dump or other similar com-
mand information. Use the Midi “OUT” for all such commands. The “OUT”
also sends Midi program change messages when the Program keys are
used on TriAxis’ Front Panel.
Switch Jacks 1 through 4 provide “Tip to Ground” function switches for controlling or activating external devices such
as the “Switch-Track” voicing features that are incorporated into Mesa/Boogie Switch Track power amplifiers. They will also control
many, but not all, Bypass, Hold, Mute etc. func-
tion jacks found on many Non-Mesa products
that do not use momentary logic. If they do not
control a device that you own, we suggest call-
ing that devices manufacture for specific volt-
age requirements, as TriAxis may not provide
“ground” needed to control the particular device.
These jacks provide direct stereo interfacing to recording or live mixing consoles. They faithfully reproduce both lead
and rhythm sounds similar to those you are accustomed to hearing from your power amp
and speakers. The output level is determined by the front panel programmable MASTER
control setting. At extreme settings it may be possible to overload the console’s input
circuit. Medium Master control settings are probably sufficient for most situations. Check
your levels.
