2.3 THE REAR PANEL

1. [PEDALBOARD] connector.

This connector allows connection of the optional pedalboard.

2. PEDAL [FOOTSW. I], [FOOTSW. II] and [EXPR.] jacks.

Two normally open footswitch pedals, to which a function can be assigned using the

system Utilities, can be connected to the [FOOTSW. I] and [FOOTSW. II] jacks, while the

[EXPR.] jack can be used to connect an expression pedal for control of the organ’s overall

volume.

3. MIDI [IN], [OUT] and [THRU] jacks.

These are five-pin DIN jacks for the exchange of MIDI data with remote MIDI units. The

MIDI [IN] connector allows receipt of the MIDI data delivered by a remote unit, the MIDI

[OUT] port allows sending of the MIDI data generated by the OB5, while the MIDI [THRU]

jack picks up the MIDI data received by the MIDI [IN] jack so that the data reaching the

OB5 can be transmitted as output.

4. SEND [L(MONO)] and [R] jacks.

You can use these jacks to send the signal generated by the OB5, in stereo format, to a

remote unit such as an effects processor, so that it can be processed with external effects.

If the receving device is monophonic, use the SEND [L(MONO)] jack only.

5. RETURN [L(MONO)] and [R] jacks.

These jacks can be used to receive the signal processed by a remote unit such as an

effects processor, to which you have sent the original OB5 signal by means of the SEND

L/R jacks. If the incoming signal is monophonic, use the RETURN [L(MONO)] jack only.

6. OUTPUT [L(MONO)] and [R] jacks.

These are general instrument outputs which send the audio signal in stereophonic form.

Connect an amplification system or a mixing bank to these jacks. If you have a monophonic

amplification system, use the [L(MONO)] jack only.

7. [HEADPHONES] jack.

A headphones set can be connected here.

8. [ROTARY TONE CABINET] connector.

As an alternative to the OB5’s internal Rotary effect, or a remote effects processor connected

to the SEND and RETURN jacks, you can use a real rotary tone cabinet which can be

connected to the 11 pin [ROTARY TONE CABINET] connecting.
