TC Electronic TC 2290 User Manual

lf you have got a normal guitar combo amplifier, pick your normal input. Note
that the XLR output can be used simultaneously for a mono or stereo
‘inedriver’ output to the PA/mixer.
Play the instrument and check that the yellow LED {O dB) of the PPM
meter on the input section only lights momentarily when you're playing and
the red (+3dB) LED only lights up on the heavy peaks of your signal.
4.4.2 Stereo Installation
Simply connect the <JACK OUT LEFT> and <JACK OUT RIGHT> of the TC
2290 to the inputs of your amplifiers.
lf you are using two different amplifiers, make sure that they have been
adjusted to sound identical. Otherwise it will be hard for you to fine tune
the stereo effects you are creating on the TC 2290.
Again, carefully adjust the <INPUT GAIN> so that the yellow LED only lights
momentarely...
(You could try a set-up home, connecting the Jack L/R outputs to the AUX
inputs of your stereo amplifier).
Refer to section [5.1] for more about INPUT GAIN settings.
4.5 Connecting the TC 2290 to MIDI
If you are a keyboardist and equipped with a MIDI instrument connect the
MIDI Out of your instrument to the MIDI IN of the TC 2290. For maximum
flexibility you can also connect the TC 2290 MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of
your keyboard. In this way you can use the TC 2290 to control your
keyboard patches and vice versa.
Depending on your MIDI setup you may need another MIDI signal flow. The
MIDI THRU socket can be used to link yet another instrument (or effect) to
the MIDI signals.
See section [8] for more info on MIDI applications.
4.6 Connecting External Effects
If you want to control your external effects just plug them into the external
effects loops.
If one of your external effects is stereo you can use ext. effect loop # 5
which has got a stereo return.
To switch in and out an external effect simply press the <CHANGE> key
on the front panel of the TC 2290 to make the green LED flash. You can
then switch in/out the corresponding effects loops with the <O>-<5> keys
on the numeric keyboard. The external effect itself must be ‘on’.
